Brian Wilson – Gettin' In Over My Head / BriMel Records Audio CD 2004 / 8122-76471-2
UPC 081227647124
Gettin' In over My Head is the fourth studio album by American musician Brian Wilson, released June 2004 on Rhino Records. Many of the songs were reworked versions of tracks originally recorded for the scrapped album Sweet Insanity and the Andy Paley sessions from the 1990s. The record reached number 100 in the US, during a 1-week chart stay, and number 53 in the UK. Critical reaction was mixed.
The album features an assortment of celebrity guests such as Paul McCartney, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Carl Wilson (the latter appeared posthumously via "Soul Searchin'", a rejected Beach Boys song from the Paley sessions). Peter Blake created the cover art and assigned 2004 Brian Wilson Presents Smile artist Mark London to art direct the rest of the package.
