Brian Wilson, In My Room

Brian Wilson, In My Room, Invasion Unlimited, 1994
A fairly good bootleg of outtakes and demos from Brian's "comeback" in the mid 1970s. The quality of these demos and outtakes is quite good and some of the songs aren't half bad either. The latter part of the CD has some interesting live performances from the 1980s. Both shows sound like audience recordings, but they are listenable. Not a bad bootleg.
