On a side note, Holland is my favorite Beach Boys album. I went to college in San Luis Obispo, Calfornia, which is basically at the southern end of the region the California Saga is about. I've always felt a personal connection to it. For a long time, I only knew it on vinyl (my dad's copy), and I had hoped for years to find it on CD. I was so happy once it was available on CD. Now, the album makes me long for being back in that central California region.
