Product Description
Time Out
"A detailed study and comprehensive overview of the BBs' lives and music, even including a foreword from Wilson himself by way of validation. Most impressively, Abbott manages to appeal to both die-hard fans and rather less obsessive newcomers."
Mojo
"An essential purchase."

Format:Paperback
Not only does this book have all of the greatest Beach Boys articles collected from all major and minor US and UK publications, but it also has a fantastic array of new material that is only found in this book. The book is given an interesting personal insight in to the band by Kingsley Abbott with comments throughout the book. With a personal foreword from Brian Wilson this is a must have book for any serious fan or a fantastic introduction to the Beach Boys!!

Comprehensive & Insightful
1 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
Solid chapters on all aspects of the group, its troubles, controversies, triumphs, from the most noted Beach Boys scholars (Nick Kent, David Felton, David Leaf, Timothy White, Dominic Priore, Tom Nolan, Jules Siegal, Kingsley Abbott), of the last 30 years. A bit detailed but also designed to be a fun read. Diehard fans and new recruits will both dig it.

Lots of behind the scenes scoop from every era of the band.
13 Dec 1998
Format:Paperback
A superbly edited collection of a few dozen features, interviews and editorials that serve as an excellent primer to the Smile-era Beach Boys, as well insights into the early years and Brian's solo daze as well. With reviews. Very good value; 4/5.

This book has it all!
19 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
This a good book for hardcore Beach Boys fans only. So much variety from SMiLE to the Brian Wilson/Andy Paley sessions to Holland to Good Surfing, Hello God! and unknown insights in the different areas of the group's career. Happy reading!
