"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 receiving critical acclaim, the album sold poorly, reaching number 151 on US record charts during a four-week stay and becoming the lowest-charting Beach Boys album to that point. "Add Some Music to Your Day" was the only single that charted in the US, peaking at number 64. In the UK, the album peaked at number 29.
Working titles for the album included Reverberation, Add Some Music, and The Fading Rock Group Revival. The recording sessions began in January 1969, and after a year-long search for a new record contract, completed in July 1970, by which time the group had signed with Reprise. In contrast to "20/20", the record featured a strong group presence with significant writing contributions from all band members. About four dozen songs were written for the album, and the label rejected numerous revisions of its track listing before the band presented enough formidable material deemed satisfactory for release. Many of the leftover songs later appeared on subsequent Beach Boys releases, including the follow-up "Surf's Up" (1971).
ビーチ・ボーイズの70年代は、地味ながら意外と良い作品が連続してます。ビーチ・ボーイズというと "Pet Sounds" が圧倒的だと思いますし、"Today" や "Party" "Friends" なども好きですが、70年代前半の作品群、特に"Sunflower", "Surf's Up", "Holland"はどれもなかなか聴きごたえがあります。そういえばこの作品、今月で発売50周年ですけど、デラックス盤の発売はないですね～～。
