A twofer of unreleased Mike Love albums from October/November 1978. Joy!
First Love (which contains "Brian's Back") is rather good, but as the album's history ended in lawsuits it's unlikely it'll ever achieve release.
Country Love was an attempt to gear Mike towards a country audience, a move that was slightly misguided given such family classics included on the album as "Wrinkles". Honestly it isn't all bad ("Brand New Start" ain't half bad really), but it's clear from many of the recordings that Mike's voice wasn't built for country.
