Pyramid Landing (and Other Favorites) is the debut album from Robert Schneider's solo project, Marbles, containing songs written and performed, usually in their entirety, by Schneider on his 4-track recorder.

The album earned her a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female in 1977, her second of 13 Grammys.

A more serious and poignant album than its predecessors, it won critical acclaim.

Summer Days thus returned the band's music to simpler themes for one last album, with Brian Wilson combining Capitol's commercial demands with his artistic calling.
