Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" is the eighteenth studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released May 15, 1972 on Brother/Reprise. The album is a significant musical departure for the band and is the first to feature the Flames' Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar as additions to their official line-up. Band member Bruce Johnston left the group during the album's recording. It sold poorly and was met with lukewarm reviews, but later gained stature as a cult favorite among fans. The album peaked at number 50 in the U.S. and number 25 in the UK. It produced two singles, "You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone" and "Marcella", both of which failed to chart in the U.S. Initial American pressings of the album included the band's 1966 release Pet Sounds as a bonus record. In 2022, an expanded version of the album was packaged within the compilation Sail On Sailor – 1972.
