“The next album is a hundred times what Pacific Ocean Blue is. It kicks. It’s different in a way. I think I have more confidence now that I’ve completed one project, and I’m moving on to another” – Dennis Wilson (on the unreleased Bambu album)
Next month will see the release of the two disc – 30th anniversary – reissue of Dennie Wilson’s long out-of-print solo album Pacific Ocean Blue. Thank you Legacy Recordings. Disc two of the reissue is of special interest, as it will house the unreleased follow-up LP to Pacific Ocean Blue, entitled Bambu, which was until recently thought to have been spelled Bamboo. Like disc one, the second disc boasts outtakes — this time from the Caribou sessions
Below: Sample the first seven tacks off the long-bootlegged Bambu album. Then go out next month and purchase the Pacific Ocean Blue reissue for the outtakes and cleaned up sound. You’ll thank me later.

I am a fan, It’s not too late is my fav!!!
1 | Music Gossip Girl May 19th, 2008 at 12:33 amPacific Ocean Blue is much much better I think. Bambu wasn’t ready for release, and arguably wasn’t good enough. Fascinating albums both.
2 | Jon May 19th, 2008 at 1:44 amBeen waiting for this since January and they keep pushing the release date back. Should have been out last week, but when I went to sundazed to get the 3xLP it still wasn’t in stock. Oh well, guess another month of waiting won’t kill me.
3 | McG May 19th, 2008 at 4:33 ameasily the most exciting reissue of the year. once paid 30 or so for the original. was too hard to resist in the flesh. we’ve been thinking of doing a little give away when it drops (if i can bear to part with the new one). verry moving music.
