Early BBs instrumentals

Man Carl and David could kill it on guitar when BW was actually interested in the surf group sound early on….

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

David Marks & the Marksmen kept killin it on guitar for some years. Some great surf jams in that compilation.

One thing I love about The Beach Boys-sphere is the level of talent they had around them (and the various projects that those talented individuals went off to make). If I want some great surf jams, I put on the Marksmen. If I want "SMiLE part II" (just a personal way I view the album) I listen to 'Discover America' by Van Dyke Parks. Etc etc.

I haven't really delved into The Moon (Marks had involvement with that after The Marksmen) at all. But definitely something I want to listen to.
