About
Love You is the twenty-first studio album by American rock band The Beach Boys, released on April 11, 1977. Originally conceived as a Brian Wilson solo album titled Brian Loves You; the album was almost entirely written and performed by Brian. Penned during a process of mental and drug rehabilitation for Brian, Love You has been praised by critics for the album's honest, unpretentious lyrics, and has been described as a portrait into Brian's sense of self in 1977. Heavily reliant on 1970s analog synthesizer, the album has been recognised as an idiosyncratic and creative oddity in The Beach Boys' canon.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
This edition was pressed by Columbia's pressing plant in Santa Maria, CA according to the "S1" in the etched matrix; an otherwise identical pressing of Love You (US 1977) (opens in a new tab) originates from the plant in Terre Haute, IN.
LP sleeve contains a printed inner sleeve with b&w photographs of band members stating The Beach Boys "Sweet 16" New Year's Eve Concert and Party.
Opposite side is a b&w photo of Brian Wilson and his then-wife, Marilyn Rovell-Wilson, stating:
To Brian Whom We Love With All Our Hearts.
We wish to express our appreciation, and acknowledge your willingness to create and support totally the completion of these songs. We thank you for sharing yourself and your music with us, and all those who love you as well. An unspeakable joy being with you in your expression of the music you put out there for everyone. Brian, we feel honored and grateful and we love you.
Carl, Dennis, Michael, Alan
