Stars and Stripes Vol. 1 is the twenty-eighth studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released on August 19, 1996, by River North Records. Produced by Joe Thomas and Brian Wilson, Stars and Stripes is a collaborative album between the Beach Boys and various country acts.
The idea for the album was conceived by Thomas,Template:Sfn who was then the owner of River North Records.<ref name="Giles2013">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> According to Wilson's wife Melinda, during the album's recording, "They [the Beach Boys] treated [Brian] like an invalid, all the time saying, 'Do this, don't do that, are you okay?'"Template:Sfn
In music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine's description, the release was "an unmitigated disaster and an outright embarrassment for all involved".<ref name="AM">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album's failure prevented Brian from securing a record contract, leaving his highly anticipated recording collaborations with Andy Paley in limbo.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> A planned second volume never materialized, and Stars and Stripes became the last studio album to feature Carl Wilson, who died in 1998.
