Great, nice, just wish they'd lose that horrible 80's Beach Boys typeface. It doesn't fit with that old radio

It's from the 70's. And it's Dean Torrence's-- not that that makes it worthwhile to keep.

50's-style if you ask me. Cheesy

Nice cover. But end of April? I want it now!

Agree about the 70s typeface...don't dig!

From the looks of it I think it could be real. Maybe them french guys weren't supposed to reveal it this early. Could have been a classic "jardine".  Grin

I think at this point that the Beach Boys logo is just that, a logo rather than a font choice. It’s their equivalent of the “drop T” Beatles logo at this point. They’ve been using it pretty regularly since 1976. “15 Big Ones”, “Keepin’ the Summer Alive”, “Summer in Paradise”, “Sounds of Summer”, various merchandise (hats, etc.), promotional photos, singles, etc.

I like the logo, it’s evocative of being something “official.” I think we think of it as a 70’s or 80’s thing because that’s when we saw it prevalently on album artwork, t-shirts, Mike’s hats, etc. I think they are using it to stamp the product as official, and because they feel it’s their strongest logo-based trademark sort of thing. I don’t think the style or font of the logo is immediately as noticeable as something like the Beatles logo, so I don’t think it would be imperative for them to always use the logo. But I don’t mind it being used. It does make everything look a bit more like “product” than art in terms of album cover artwork, but I don’t mind it. It’s not as if they always succeed when not using the logo. The “Warmth of the Sun” compilation has bland font and artwork to the point of looking like a cheap drugstore compilation. A lot of people didn’t like either or both versions of the “Endless Harmony” artwork (moreso the first “orange” version).

Yeah, the article pretty much says that it's the official cover that has just been revealed and that it was sent by EMI (or something like that).

>>100 million albums sold. Tubes such as "I Get Around", "Good Vibrations", "Surfin ' USA" or "California Girls". The Beach Boys will make their comeback with a new album to be published June 4. A disk which it knows not yet name. " Harmonies of inimitable, voice a machine tubes, the Californian group returned with a new album to embellish our summer ", promises to EMI in a press release that has just reached us.
 
A first single will be sent to radio at the end of the month, April 30. It is the song "That's Why God Made The Radio" which the package is to be unveiled. Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks had not registered of new songs since "Summer in Paradise" in 1992. Four years later, in 96, they had insured the choirs of occasions of their tubes by other artists in "Stars and Stripes Vol. 1". <<

And please note -- in Europe, music is issued on Mondays. In the U.S., Tuesdays.

Thus, the album is listed as coming out on June 4. It's scheduled for June 5 in the U.S.

The single is listed as April 30 -- but would therefore come out May 1 in the States.

If they had the The Beach Boys imprinted on the face of the radio in the photo, just like the album title, with the same type of lettering, that would be better than the 1970's logo.

I like the logo.  Sure, it's outdated, but so is

. the band members
. their voices
. their style
. love songs
. doo wop songs
. pinky rings
. admitting to being a fan of rosemary clooney whenever asked


So in other words, I think the logo sums the band up well.  What else is a logo supposed to do?  Can't wait for this album!

Shorts ? Surfboard ? I hope this doesn't mean much

Nice to see the boys around a piano. Wish I could've been there listening to the harmonizing

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

The 30th of April means I can buy myself the single as a reward for finishing my degree the next day! Cheers, Beach Boys!  Grin

I hope you get your reward; the way I read it, the single goes to Radio on the 30th, meaning, maybe, it actually gets sold the week after. or the week after that.

Bare feet too. They are called The Beach Boys, you know. And yes, great pix of the Boys.

I haven't seen any of these beach house pics being used anywhere...are they saving them for promotions when the tour finally gets going?  It's kind of weird that these few images have been available yet I've not seen them used anywhere...
