Richard & Linda Thompson
Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s
The passing of Brian Wilson has me thinking about excellent recordings of bands featuring great harmonies and production from the 1960s. What do you consider the best recorded and most interesting album(s) from The Beach Boys (besides “Pet Sounds”)? Other bands from that era? The New York Times yesterday noted during one later period of Mr. Wilson’s life he was fixated on listening to The Ronettes. Would like to hear your opinions.

SOOOOOO much incredible music from the 60's... |
Thanks for all the tips. I was flying solo Friday night, ended up at Easy Street after a couple of beers and walked out with used Righteous Brothers and Kingston Trio LPs and new pressings of the Temptations first album and Pet Sounds. Went home and listened to the whole lot, very enjoyable. I can’t believe it took me so long to buy a copy of Pet Sounds. It’s every bit as good as the hype. And it sure sounds different now on my main rig compared with what I remember hearing on the AM radio in my ‘67 Impala back in the day. Go figure… Thanks again, kn |
Actually @slaw, Richard and Linda didn't start recording as a duo until 1973. Richard left Fairport Convention in '71, and made a solo album in '72. The Band cited The Staples as a vocal harmony influence (that's why they were tagged onto the end of The Last Waltz). The '60's Bee Gees albums have some great harmony singing.
