Common card · No. 248948

M.I.U. Album is the 22nd studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on September 25, 1978 by Brother/Reprise. Characterized for its easy-listening sound, the album was produced by Al Jardine and touring member Ron Altbach during one of the most acrimonious periods in the band's history. It sold poorly, peaking at number 151 in the U.S., and was met with confused reactions from critics and fans. Created to fulfill contractual obligations to Reprise after shelving Adult/Child, a completed album intended as Brian Wilson's follow-up to Love You, M.I.U. Album was largely recorded in late 1977 at its namesake: Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa. Only Jardine, Brian, and Mike Love appear consistently throughout the album, with Carl and Dennis Wilson's contributions confined to a pair of tracks. Brian was credited as "executive producer". It additionally includes two reworked Love You outtakes, "Hey Little Tomboy" and "My Diane", as well as cover versions...
