Carl and the Passions changed band name to what

Beach Boys

Carl and the Passions - "So Tough" is the fifteenth studio album released by The Beach Boys in 1972. In its initial release, it was the second disc of a two-album set with Pet Sounds (which The Beach Boys were able to license from Capitol Records). Unfortunately, due to the fact that Carl and the Passions - "So Tough" was a transitional album that saw the departure of one member and the introduction of two new ones, making it wildly inconsistent in terms of type of material present, it paled next to their 1966 classic and was seen as something of a disappointment in its time of release. The title of the album itself was a reference to an early band Carl Wilson had been in as a teenager (some say a possible early name for the Beach Boys). It was also the first album released under a new deal with Warner Bros. that allowed the company to distribute all future Beach Boys product in foreign as well as domestic markets.
