The Beach Boys is the 25th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on June 10, 1985. Produced by Steve Levine, the album is the band's first after the death of founding member Dennis Wilson. The album saw the band incorporate 1980's contemporary musical styles into their own sound and was intended to be a "comeback" for the band. It was also the band's first album to be recorded digitally and the last released by James William Guercio's Caribou Records.
Supported by the release of its lead single "Getcha Back", The Beach Boys charted at number fifty-two in the United States and number sixty in the United Kingdom. A further two singles – "It's Gettin' Late" and "She Believes in Love Again" were released in July and October 1985 respectively.
Among the guest musicians, Ringo Starr played drums on "California Calling", while Stevie Wonder played most of the instruments on "I Do Love You".
