Title: Re: This Whole World - The Complete Beach Boys Singles and EP Cover Collection Post by: elnombre on April 27, 2008, 09:24:57 AM Nice...very enjoyable to look through, especially for someone like me who missed out on collecting the singles the first time around.
Title: Re: This Whole World - The Complete Beach Boys Singles and EP Cover Collection Post by: MBE on December 09, 2008, 06:23:43 PM It combines two of my favorite things-Beach Boys and vinyl. I love color photo books and though I wish the pics were a little larger, this is just a wonderful presentation.
Title: Re: This Whole World - The Complete Beach Boys Singles and EP Cover Collection Post by: dogear on December 10, 2008, 08:30:03 AM Totally agree, although the English translation is a drag. Many more PS 45s have surfaced in the meantime. Unfortunately the book sold quite poorly, so there won't be a second edition, which is a shame. Great job, Manfred and Christian.
Title: Re: This Whole World - The Complete Beach Boys Singles and EP Cover Collection Post by: MBE on December 10, 2008, 10:09:52 PM They needed to make it easier to buy. It took me over a year to find the right place to buy it. Still it is great. The translation wasn't the best but the info was very good.
Title: Re: This Whole World - The Complete Beach Boys Singles and EP Cover Collection Post by: smile-holland on December 10, 2008, 11:48:36 PM I love this book. Bought it for the regular price at the time (on http://www.vinylcover.net/#1), but it was well worth it. Just got a second copy from my father who thought he'd finally found something I definitely would not have in my collection.... ;D He'll never learn...
But this gives me the chance to use one of them not only as a reference guide, but also for notes/remarks, etc. Again, I love this book. Essential for anyone's collection. Title: Re: This Whole World - The Complete Beach Boys Singles and EP Cover Collection Post by: dogear on December 11, 2008, 06:00:04 AM I own two copies exactly for that reason.
Title: Re: This Whole World - The Complete Beach Boys Singles and EP Cover Collection Post by: bgas on June 21, 2012, 01:35:26 AM In case anyone wants to buy this, I just saw a copy on Ebay, and the price is decent:

Although “The Beach Boys on 45” website is far more extensive, the book is still a great companion piece as it contains singles and EPs from countries which have not yet been added to the website ;D
