Brian Wilson began regressing back into drug use and mental illness. Dennis was readying his debut solo album, Pacific Ocean Blue. Intended as a follow-up to The Beach Boys Love You, sessions and mixing for a new album called Adult\/Child were completed by the Beach Boys with Brian Wilson as producer, and it would have included &#8220;Hey Little Tomboy&#8221;, which can be found on <strong>M.I.U.

The album was subsequently rejected by Reprise Records for not being commercially viable, although some of its tracks would reappear on later archival releases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>M.I.U.
