Mark:

I own both of your excellent, meticulously researched, J & D books - they're incredible and I recommend them to everyone!

Thank you for all the hard work that went into producing these.

Hopefully, you're now working on others.
 

Here is some rare footage I think Board members might find interesting:

I've often wondered how much footage like this and featuring the Beach Boys is locked away in someone's closet - never before seen.

I'd love for you to ask Howie about this subject:

I remember excitedly gathering in front of our family television on Thursday evening August 5, 1976, to watch the one-hour NBC special on the Beach Boys, who were all over the media that bi-centennial summer.

I know little about television production but assume that many hours of video were shot in June of that year and then carefully edited down to a 50-minute broadcast.

Does anyone know what may have happened to all that unused footage? Was it destroyed or is it stored in an NBC vault somewhere? It would be fascinating to see the raw footage and sad to think of it languishing in a vault never to be seen.

This Friday night May 27, 1983, 30-minute television interview with Carl is certainly one of the best I've seen:

Please note that there are a few technical issues with the clip.

I enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing!

Here is a very interesting video from a jazz pianist who only recently discovered the complexity of Beach Boys music:

I wonder what happened to the recording they made for especially for Audrey?

Joshilyn - thank you for your response. I LOVE your fascinating videos - please keep making them!

These two notices were published in the September 1, 1962 and October 5, 1962 issues of the “Los Angeles Evening Citizens News” (the former included Al).

I’m familiar with the “Rachel and the Revolvers” recordings but am not sure the purpose of these notices. Does anyone know? 

Here is the full episode that Ian is referring to:

Ian – please accept my apology for not mentioning your incredible book as a date source as well.

It resides on my Beach Boys bookshelf right next to Jim’s. I can’t recommend it enough – a must have for every fan.

I do hope you're working on a 2nd edition, as you can count on an order from me!

Elora’s YouTube channel has uploaded a fascinating, rare clip – one I’ve never before seen.

According to Jim Murphy’s great book, “Becoming the Beach Boys 1961-1963”, it was shot on April 21, 1963.

Interesting video by jazz musician and Brian Wilson fan, Aimee Nolte:

An excellent, nearly 90 minute, new interview with Don Randi.

His recollection of the dates of certain Beach Boy sessions is sometimes off, but I think you'll enjoy. 

Darian just posted this on the Sail On Facebook page:

"Heads up! This unbelievable film footage was only unearthed late last year (blew my mind). Wasn't sure how it was going to be unveiled but they're going with the 55th anniversary of the photo shoot, which is this Wednesday (but premiering Tuesday 11pm)."

Interesting comments from Vince Gill about Brian and performing "Surf's Up":

The June 20, 1971 issue of The Los Angeles Times (page 149) has an advertisement featuring local health food stores, including the Radiant Radish.

Its address is listed as 553 North San Vincente Avenue.

This address, however, doesn't exist on Google Maps while 553 North San Vincente Blvd does, so the Blvd address must be correct.

I'll post the ad if I can determine how to upload a jpeg to this Board.

Interesting interview with Hal that I haven't seen before:
