Smile, Sun, Sand & Pet Sounds (Stephen J. McParland)

'Smile, Sun, Sand & Pet Sounds is a fascinating 106-page compilation of Beach Boys-related articles from Stephen's fanzine. As well as well-written pieces covering all aspects of the band, we have the lyrics of all the Surf and Drag songs (complete with technical explanations of what Lake Pipes and Dual Quads were) and a listing of 174 of the best covers of Beach Boys songs from around the world. Also included are overviews of the "Pet Sounds" and "Smile" albums, making this a great dip-into book.
