20/20

20/20 is the fifteenth studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released February 10, 1969, on Capitol Records. The LP was named for being their 20th overall release when factoring in live albums and compilations. Much of 20/20 consists of outtakes from earlier albums. It reached number 3 on UK record charts and number 68 in the U.S. Brian Wilson was absent during some of the album's recording after admitting himself into a psychiatric hospital - and less active in the group in general - requiring brothers Carl and Dennis to retrieve several outtakes he had recorded years earlier. While Brian does not appear on the front cover, the inner gatefold of the original vinyl release features him alone, behind an eye examination chart.
