Title: Andrew G. Doe's book Post by: Awesoman on May 03, 2007, 12:01:55 AM Hey Andrew, I just wanted to let you know I received your Beach Boys guidebook in the mail today. It's quite a good book! It's also nice to see you give my old stomping ground the Male Ego Board a nod. Too bad that site finally met its demise a few years ago.
I was wondering if you have plans for updating this book or writing another one...perhaps covering bootlegs and live performaces? Title: Re: Andrew G. Doe's book Post by: Andrew G.

I do not understand this strange word. ::) Whilst I'd like to think I'll get asked to update it again in 2011 (eve if it would mean having to listen to GIOMH a few more times...) I somehow doubt it'll happen. it's possible I'll content myself with posting additions and corrections (amazingly enough, there are a few errors in the book) Hang on... "quite a good book" ?!? Sir, I demand satisfaction - instruct your page to discuss the details with my man. Title: Re: Andrew G.

Sir, I demand satisfaction - instruct your page to discuss the details with my man. Mind you, I remember you saying that you didn't think that you would update the first edition, thats why you had the supplement with the solo stuff on a site a cfew years back, you never know, they might relaunch the series again. Not to be a brown-nose, but yours is one of the better of the series in that it covers all the odds and ends which aren't even available. Quite a few of the others just do the main albums, and some don't even discuss quite a lot of tracks (The Queen and Genesis ones miss out B sides and stuff like that) Title: Re: Andrew G.

Doe on May 03, 2007, 02:24:21 PM Some of the ComGuides are outstanding (the Pink Floyd one springs to mind), whilst others are dire (notably the Queen and Doors efforts). On the whole, it's a good series.

On the whole, it's a good series. Interesting note: the author of the volume on Madonna is a noted Beach Boys fan,and managed to make several comparisons to Brian Wilson...but in a pro Brian, anti-Madonna way. I.E. him saying to listen to Pet Sounds as an "antidote" to her 1987 remix album. |
