Rock & Other Four Letter Words: complete Brian 1968 interview online

[The Shift]

… and those who love the Stack of Tracks shoot will like the cover of the latest issue if UK mag Record Collector, which inside allegedly includes the definitive Beach Boys interview (or similar… don't have a copy yet…)

I was looking for this but forgot what the filename had been! Just found it now thanks to this thread

Here's a temporary link, grab it quick and make sure to mirror somewhere else: http://puu.sh/4BZz1.mp3

Weird how the interview ends so abruptly. Is there any more?

[Andrew G. Doe]

Maybe it's just me... but if it wasn't stated that was Brian, I'd have thought it might be Dennis at times - that kinda softly whiny timbre...

I have had this tape for years because I contacted the New York Public Library and paid for it to be put on a cassette. To say it made me rethink Brian in a more positive way in early 1968 (and the band in general) is an understatement.

Ah, this is great.  Thank you for the upload...  again! 

[schiaffino]

This is amazing, thank you all so much, for posting this again and for Mike getting the original cassette recording 

It such a fascinating documentary of a moment in time, when drug-use equaled spiritual enlightenment. It's so amusing to hear the reporter phrasing this point as a politically-correct question, while kind of making it clear to Brian that he's talking about drugs. Amazing, just amazing.

I say this 'cause I'm not from that generation, grew up in the 90s and the whole don't do drugs, choose life campaigns. Its fascinating to see how there was such a different perspective before....

Again thanks everyone, cool stuff!

Does anyone have a copy of this interview they can post? I'd really like to hear it.

Is your reply about the Jamake Highwater interview from '68 (which is what I was asking about; sorry for the confusion) or about the Made in California one that your link goes to? If the latter, thanks because I didn't see that before either!

If the former, then I'm confused and I apologize if I'm just dense.

Re the MIC; didn't re-read back far enough to see the 68
