The Beach Boys

"The Beach Boys

'I think it's the heart that you put into what you're doing that's important. Each member of the Beach Boys puts their whole heart and soul into what they do, and that is probably the saving grace of the group. Few families are together spiritually and emotionally over art.' – Dennis Wilson

Their only official book, The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys is an anthology of one of the world's greatest bands, published in a limited edition of only 500 copies worldwide. It captures the group's astounding rise from Hawthorne garage band to internationally renowned act, covering the release of their first single, 'Surfin'', up to their 1980 Independence Day concert at the National Mall in Washington D.C., for an audience of over half a million people. Through their unique sound, incredibly complex harmonies, and use of innovative recording techniques, The Beach Boys continue to inspire musicians. What's more, they've become woven into the cultural fabric of America. This edition documents how it happened.

Told through the words of Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston, and accompanied by rare and iconic photographs and historical ephemera, the result is an extraordinary autobiography from America's biggest band."

Das Buch soll übrigens wirklich ganz gut geworden sein. Für den Fan wohl nicht viel Neues, aber als Produkt und für den nicht hardcore Beach Boy sehr empfehlenswert.

Man würde dem Mann aber Unrecht tun, wenn man ihn nur auf diese Werke reduziert. Der ist ein hochangesehener Musik-Journalist.

Da hast Du absolut recht, über diese Südstaaten-Heulboje zu schreiben ist eines RICHTIGEN Musikjournalisten unwürdig!
