Title: What book would be best for a SMiLE Newcomer Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on June 30, 2012, 10:12:18 AM I brought my friend along to the Saratoga Beach Boys concert, and he said he finally understands why I love them so much.
He want's to borrow one of my books on them, specifically SMiLE, but also including a bit of overall knowledge. Maybe "Lost Masterpiece"? or LLVS? What book would be the easiest for him to approach?

Thanks guys! Title: Re: What book would be best for a SMiLE Newcomer Post by: hypehat on June 30, 2012, 12:51:17 PM I'd give him Catch A Wave - best history of the band, imo
Title: Re: What book would be best for a SMiLE Newcomer Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on June 30, 2012, 12:59:43 PM I agree, I loved that book, but he's more concerned on "figuring out" SMiLE first :p
