Another Beach Boys myth: They were already covering Dick Dale's version of Sloop John B in their live set in 1962 & 1963  (before Al came back to the band)

I think on one of the bootlegs that came out the last years ("garage tapes" or "in the beginning") there's a version of Sloop John B.. Private recording from very early 60s. Not that I have actually heard that stuff...

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.

I'm pretty sure that goes back to Al's days in the Islanders as a song he wanted Brian to cut. I thought I remember reading that Al saying they might have played a version for the Morgans.

I'm thinking we need to have a Beach Boys "Mythbusters" topic. Does anybody know/remember how that whole thing started concerning Al teaching Brian that song?

Al was tripping on LSD one day and the idea came to him. To crystallize this flash of inspiration he took DMT later that night and the Cosmic Elves revealed what they revealed.

Al should reform The Islanders now for a reunion tour! 3D

Well, in Al's case, we'd read about it as a press release, and then nothing would ever happen! (No harm meant, Al!)
