(part 5)

Absolutely essential viewing for fans--not only is Jim Murphy a superb historian and writer (as amply evidenced in his BECOMING THE BEACH BOYS) but he's also a highly engaging raconteur, rising to even higher heights of entertainment/information value with these two segments, with Steve Lewis happily going along for the ride.

Part 5 features a slew of early Beach Boys memorabilia, which includes an explanation of the often-confusing record release sequence for "Surfin' Safari."

The good news is that there will soon be a Part 6 which continues with presentation/discussion of additional memorabilia.

This is great.  Jim Murphy's book up-ended a lot of what I thought I knew about the BBs' history (pre-fame and the first year or so after Surfin).

There is also a part 6, another segment of terrific memorabilia and other intriguing insights into the early years of the band:

Well worth your time...thanks to Jim and Steve Lewis.
