There is also a variety of guest stars ranging from Music/RingoStarr to Music/StevieWonder. The recording sesions were partially troubled due to Landy's presence.

''The Beach Boys'' is the twenty-fifth album by (guess who) Music/TheBeachBoys. It was released in 1985, giving this album the nickname ''Beach Boys 85'' amongst fans.
This is the first Beach Boys album released after the death of Music/DennisWilson in 1983 and the first album the band released after 1980's ''Music/KeepinTheSummerAlive''. After this album was a commercial failure, the band focused on touring and estabblished itself as a "jukebox act" based on their early songs which was quite popular in their country (this is when they earned their "America's Band" nickname). The only few songs recorded during that period were a cover of [[Music/TheMamasAndThePapas California Dreamin']], a collaboration song with The Four Seasons (which was rumoured to be the first step to a collab album but was cancelled after the single's faillure) and a song for Film/UpTheCreek's soundtrack. Outside of the band, Music/BrianWilson's mental and physical health was at its lowest and the psychiatrist Eugene Landy (who already treated him back in 1976) came back on the Wilsons' request. Music/MikeLove started his solo career with 1981's ''Music/LookingBackWithLove'' and Music/CarlWilson took a short break from the band in order to focus on a solo career (spawning two solo albums). Dennis Wilson wasn't involved in the recording sesions of ''Keepin' The Summer Alive'' but he remained a touring drummer for the band until his death by drowning in late 1983.
