About Sunflower

Sunflower is the 16th studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 31, 1970, and their first on Reprise Records. Despite being met with largely positive reviews, the album suffered unexpectedly poor sales, reaching number 151 on U. S. record charts during a four-week stay, and becoming the lowest-charting Beach Boys album to that point. In the UK, the album performed better, peaking at number 29. Unlike their previous albums, Sunflower was composed entirely of original songwriting contributions from every member of the band. Its sessions began in January 1969, and after some legal battles with Capitol Records, completed in July 1970, by which time the group had signed with Reprise. Over 30 songs were written for the album, and the label had to reject numerous revisions of its track listing before the band presented enough formidable material deemed satisfactory for release. It was preceded by the similarly unsuccessful singles "Add Some Music to Your Day" and "Slip On Through"; later followed up with "Tears in the Morning" and "Forever". Only "Add Some Music" charted in the US, peaking at number 64.
