Holland was released in January 1973. It was famously (and expensively) recorded in Baambrugge, Netherlands over the summer of 1972 using a reconstructed studio sent from home, and with two Brian Wilson tracks rush-recorded in Los Angeles and added to the album at the last minute. "Holland" was a politically aware album that emerged from the Beach Boys' collaboration with two fine South African musician/leaders from the great sixties psych band, THE FLAMES. So the album is not just for traditional Beach Boys fans. This album is a work of art and pretty much as "out there" as The Beach Boys ever got without Brian. All the songs are great of course though, highlighted by "The Trader" and Dennis's "Steamboat" the most. Brian's "Funky Pretty" is just plain cool especially with the Flames singer Blondie Chaplin vocal and even Mike Love and Al jardine's contributions ("California Saga") rank among the best work they ever did. Not to mention the best album opener you possibly could have had with "Sail on Sailor". The instrumentation is perfect with plenty of great slide guitar work,a great organ solo (Leaving this town") and the most psychedelic backround vocals they ever did maybe with the exception of "Smile". It all works as a whole and related to Dennis's "Pacific Ocean Blue" album that would be released 4 years later. Upon the band's return from the Netherlands in the fall, Holland was rejected by Reprise Records for not having a potential hit single. It was decided to add an old unfinished Brian Wilson song, "Sail On, Sailor", which he had co-written with Ray Kennedy. After some re-working, Brian delivered what would become Holland's most famous track. "Sail On, Sailor" was one of two songs recorded at home (the other was Ricky Fataar's and Chaplin's soulful and moog-tinged "Leaving This Town") and added at the last minute to a re-sequenced and re-submitted Holland.A:
