Sound of Free
"Sound of Free" is a song performed by American musicians Dennis Wilson and Daryl Dragon (the latter credited as "Rumbo") that was written by Wilson and Mike Love. It was released by Stateside Records as a British-exclusive single on December 4, 1970. The B-side was "Lady". In 2013, "Sound of Free" was officially released on CD for the first time on the Beach Boys' 2013 box set "Made in California".

Writing in his 1978 biography of the band John Tobler said, "No-one seems to have ever asked Dennis what the idea was behind this burst of independence, but it's possible that there's some connection with the fact that "Sunflower", and in fact "Surf's Up" ... were released in Britain on the Stateside label."

In 2021, a remaster of the song was included on the compilation "Feel Flows". A stereo mix was not created because the multitrack tape had been lost.
