Title: new coffeetable book by Johnny Morgan Post by: bossaroo on September 13, 2015, 02:34:53 PM anyone know anything about this book or its author? I was gifted a copy. there's some beautiful photos, including some I was unfamiliar with... but some of the information is not totally accurate or very in-depth.

One concern already though. Picture of the C50 line-up on the roof of Capitol in 06 with the wording 'The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Tour announcement 2012'. Doesn't bode well.

It claims Landy came back pretty fast after he was let go in late 1976, and that by '79 or so, Brian was still with Landy but evading his handlers to score drugs. There's also a picture dated 1974 with the Netherlands as a locale, with group members including Bruce, two years after he left. I've got my concerns.

Don't know the person, but if that's what he's saying, he's certainly clueless about the late 70's/early 80's. My guess is, he didn't interview anyone who was around then - certainly no one who knew anything. Who ISN'T writing a book? Title: Re: new coffeetable book by Johnny Morgan Post by: Andrew G.
