About the book
"The Beach Boys by Keith Badman is a detailed study - a quarter of a million words with reams of rare pictures - that brings together for the first time in one publication a complete guide to the group's musical career, from 1961 to 1976. Blow-by-blow accounts finally set the record straight for every recording session for legendary albums such as Pet Sounds, Surf's Up and the famously unreleased Smile, as well as classic singles like 'Good Vibrations' and 'Heroes and Villains.' Concert appearances around the world are highlighted with long-lost press reviews, and there are impressive details of every Beach Boys television appearance. Rare archive interviews with the group and their close associates stand alongside a wealth of unseen photographs and a cache of original studio logs from classic recording sessions."--BOOK JACKET.
