What's the deal with this set? Does anyone have any info on it?

Im guessing its some kinda live boot with interviews spliced in...I actually think ive seen that cover before..what tips me that it might be a boot is BW + BB tunes on same lp..

Kind of reminds me of The Beatles' Story, which was a cash-in album released in the mid-60s with interviews and clips of songs.

Oh..So it might be a promo interview lp..??

So you didn't read this bit of text at the top of the page, I take it ?

"BEACH BOYS The Beach Boys Story (US United Stations Programming Network triple vinyl LP radio show hosted by Paul Michael Tyler, includes exclusive interview segments with the band with Brian Wilson, along with 62-tracks by the Beach Boys & related artists which all come together to tell the story, includes the tracks Sail on Sailor, Good Timin', Love And Mercy, Night Time Disney Girls and more, first aired 30th June to 4th July 1989 and includes cue sheets, all housed inside a custom picture sleeve!)."

That's like a magic trick.  I would just about swear that when I looked at that album earlier today the information at the top wasn't there, and the track listing wasn't below.  Just goes to show, I guess, how bad graphic design can misdirect your attention.

Yeah, I don't think I saw that there, either.

In which case I apologise for the tone of my response.

Not at all, I think it was there, and for some reason you were the only one who pried your eyes from the awful cover art and saw it!

I'd like to have a copy of this..even on CD is I could get it.  That album is a bit pricey.

:lol thats a shocker.
