Heard their Beach Boys ripoff "Beach Baby" on an infomercial.. are these guys any good? Title: Re: First Class Post by: Jeff Mason on February 05, 2006, 09:00:12 PM I have never heard any FC track besides Beach Baby. But I must speak up -- that is an homage and no ripoff. In fact, IMO it is one of the best tracks from 1974 and it is exactly what the BB could have and should have sounded like in 1976, not 15 BO or MIU, if they wanted to court the "fun'n'sun" crowd. Totally current yet timeless and classic.
Just had to speak up to defend that track, which gets bashed by BB fans (and even if memory serves Mike Love himself). MUCH better than the rep. Title: Re: First Class Post by: LaurieBiagini on February 05, 2006, 10:13:30 PM I like that song too :)

Title: Re: First Class Post by: Boxer Monkey on February 05, 2006, 10:22:53 PM Isn't that another Tony Burrows-sung cut, he of Edison Lighthouse?
I believe both songs are on a Varese Bubblegum comp that spotlights Burrows> Worth checking out ... Title: Re: First Class Post by: cabinessence on February 06, 2006, 12:42:54 AM The band overall is the definition of "studio hackdom" (I bought their LP, I'm entitled to my opinion), but heard in the extended version (album track), Beach Baby is indeed a very fine tribute to our favorite band.
