LONG PROMISED ROAD is a limited edition CD compilation of the highlights of Carl Wilson’s musical career, both with the Beach Boys and as a solo performer. This collection was produced by Capitol Records and Billy Hinsche, with track selection and liner notes by Brad Elliott, as a memento of thanks to those who gave so generously by attending the Carl Wilson Benefit Concert, held on Oct. 18, 1998 at The Roxy in Los Angeles. Each guest who attended received a copy.
In addition, a limited quantity of the CDs were offered for sale to benefit the Central Los Angeles Unit of the American Cancer Society.
