  1. The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys

    ...is like strolling through a museum - -Every page is an interesting (text and visual) exhibit.

    "We are so lucky that our time on this rock coincided with The Beach Boys. They perfectly reflected the thrill, the sadness and even the weirdness of our own lives. The Beach Boys chronicled the beauty of all of it. Their music captured the entirety of being alive. Go listen to The Beach Boys – it will only fill your soul and bring you peace and joy."
    {Howie Edelson o page 367}

    Ingredients:
    •Chronological but you can drop-in on any page
    •Interviews act as augmented liner notes; new details, further explanations
    •Fuller details of famous stories (Al not getting lead vocal SJB; Pet Sounds raye sessions)
    •Sessionography
    •Chord charts
    •The full film roll of which iconic photos were selected
    •Handwritten lyrics
    •Correspondence
    •Legal documents
    •Newspaper clippings and magazine articles
    •International concert programs, picture sleeves
    •Record company promotional fliers/posters
    •Artistically beautiful lyrics over photography
