The Many Moods of Murry Wilson is the only record by American songwriter and talent manager Murry Wilson, the father of Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson and original manager of the Beach Boys. The album was released on Capitol Records in October 1967, the same record label that the Beach Boys were contracted to at the time. One track, "Italia", was composed by Beach Boy Al Jardine and produced by an uncredited Brian.[1][2]
In November 1967, Murry embarked on a month-long tour of Europe and the UK to promote the album.[1] He told Britain's Disc & Music Echo that "after 'Good Vibrations' Brian lost a lot of confidence. He didn't think he could ever write anything as good as that again ... With [my] LP I'm going to nudge my boys' competitive spirit."[3]
The album was reissued on CD in 2002 as a Japanese release.
