The group had still owed one more album for Reprise. Released in September 1978, M.I.U. Album was recorded at Maharishi International University in Iowa at the suggestion of Love. The band originally attempted to record a Christmas album, to be titled Merry Christmas from the Beach Boys , but this idea was rejected by Reprise. Dennis and Carl made limited contributions to M.I.U. Album ; the album was produced by Jardine and Ron Altbach , with Brian credited as “executive producer”. Dennis retreated from the group to focus on his second solo album, Bambu , which was shelved just as alcoholism and marital problems overcame all three Wilson brothers.
