Until about 1990

Thanks

The link worked. So much for being a technophobe

Mmm not added a yt link before but song worth checking out

Any one here heard of Gin Wigmore, New Zealand singer songwriter now based in the US ?

Recently started reading Sound Therapy by Patricia Jourdy

As a matter of interest how many years did Brian stay this trim ?

This board is the nearest I'll get to social media but the photos of Mike seem interesting from a historical point of view. Any family photos are really. The Love family was more affluent at the time than the Wilsons. So they were lucky enough to indulge taking photos. 

That is the time frame of my early fandom days and yes it wasn't cool to be into the Beach Boys during the punk period. Even the people in the record shops thought that I was wasting my money.

Wow this thread fizzled.

My realisation was after learning about the producers of the stuff people buy and listen to recently. As well as the fact nobody really knows who they are. Initially Brian was like that, apart from being a touring band member.

I think the same song masters would have been used as the two albums that you mentioned were released only a month or so apart.

So I guess that a wall of Al Jardines would equal the Boys vocal blend ?

There is a soft rock station playing on the radio at work. Every so often Kokomo gets a turn. Thats'about it. As you said who listens to the radio now I used to at home but now music is easier to access on your phone.

Its' great that you posted the pictures really big, I generally like to zoom up so thanks for saving me the effort 

Back in 1978 when the Beach Boys toured Australia and New Zealand the Christchurch show was filmed and broadcast on TVNZ I remember watching it. Probably languishing some where on a dusty shelf

The Brian vocal reminds me a little of Male Ego but less gruff and more relaxed

Haven't posted in quite awhile.
Back in the day I guess BW was what is known as a ghost producer sort of like Pharrel was and Max Martin is now.

Mid 90s' Brian had a parrot called Sweetie

Good Read

Whoops missed trhe Judy referenced in your list

Judy

Marcella

I thought Brian was born at Centinala Hospital ?

Spirit Of America was Craig Breedloves Car

Funny stuff  but Brian has been too much of a shape shifter to have been that Cobb guy.

I will be definitely going to this... 20 years ago at the Wellington Film Festival I saw the movie that Don Was made, it is quite an experience seeing on the big screen.
