The Beach Boys: The Definitive Diary
Of America's Greatest Band on Stage And In The Studio (Keith
Badman)
The Beach Boys tracks every move in this great
bands career. With the help of band members, the author has
reconstructed their evolution into one of the best-produced
groups of the ¹60s, exemplified by their 1966 peak with
the Pet Sounds LP and the number-one single Good Vibrations.
The book also profiles Brian Wilson, one of the most gifted
songwriters, producers, and arrangers in popular music, whose
1967 nervous breakdown required the band to carry on without
his full participation. The books easy-to-browse, day-by-day
format details the group's entire concert history, all known
recording sessions, their broadcast history, and all records
issued in the U.S. and the U.K. The book also includes 100 photographs,
many of which have never been published.
