Happy Feel Flows week  Hard to believe that most of Dennis's early '70s solo work with Daryl Dragon is finally going to see release THIS WEKK, among countless other gems. Reminds me of the week that Made in California was set to come out, with "Wouldn't it be Nice (to Live Again)" about to be heard for the first time. It didn't disappoint and neither will this material, if the snippet of "Behold the Night" played on the Beard/Boyd podcast is any indication. I am very excited for "behold the night" |

On your recommendation, I borrowed the eBook and skimmed the relevant chapters. Yes, it's very dark stuff indeed, alleging that Dennis and particularly Terry were involved much longer and more deeply with "The Family" than had been previously acknowledged. The author seems to believe that Vince Bugliosi covered for Terry and minimized his involvement.
Something new-ish with respect to BB history is the author's suggestion that Gregg Jakobson had very limited musical talent and that Denny gave Gregg songwriting credits as a "thank you" for testifying in the Manson trial so Denny didn't have to. Not sure that I really buy that. If we were talking just about a few Sunflower-era credits, it might be plausible, but if the Denny-Gregg collaboration was more pretense than reality, why would it have continued into Pacific Ocean Blue 6 or 7 years later? The Manson thing had surely blown over by that point, so I'm very much inclined to believe that Gregg's songwriting credits were deserved.
That was actually John Stebbins who suggested that to the author |

Has anyone else read this? It is wild!
Dennis and The Beach Boys play a big role in it. It alleges that Dennis was involved in a cover up with Terry Melcher after the murders. That Hollywood knew right after that the Beach Boys were involved and they were shunned, FBI bugging Beach Boys offices.. crazy stuff.
No Beach Boys talked to the author but he does talk to some exes of Dennis, despar is in it. Really interesting stuff, The book is getting a lot of attention.

I wonder if we'll get any new interviews with the band together for this release
If there are any group interviews, Mike and Bruce need to get their matching Robert Graham striped shirts out of storage and have them cleaned and pressed. 😂😂 |

Same here. Cancelled.
Is this Amazon's way of hiking up the price in a week of so and me not getting my 'Price Guarantee'?
Fantastic.
Yes, I had a great price guarantee, and I won't be re ordering any time soon through Amazon As I have no record shop anywhere near me, I suppose I'll just be streaming this set. A real shame for those who worked hard on this. Sales are going to be hit. There own fault |
