They said it would never happen; but all five surviving Beach Boys --
co-founders Brian Wilson, Mike Love, David Marks and Al Jardine, along
with longtime member Bruce Johnston -- will appear together on Tuesday
(June 13th), on the rooftop of Capitol Records' Los Angeles
headquarters. Co-founders Dennis and Carl Wilson died in 1983 and
1998, respectively.
The event, which commemorates the sales of over two million copies of
the group's hits compilation Sounds Of Summer: The Very Best Of The
Beach Boys, will mark the first time Wilson, Love, Jardine and
Johnston have appeared in public together in nearly a decade. In
addition to the group being awarded their platinum albums, Capitol
Records will be unveiling the artwork for a commemorative Beach Boys
anniversary CD and vinyl titles to be released later this year.
In a LAUNCH exclusive, Al Jardine said that the group has been amazed
by the album's unstoppable success: "We've been delighted and
surprised in the weekly sales figures and they're beyond
comprehension -- and they're showing no sign of slowing down!"
Jardine said that being with the guys on their old stomping grounds
just might be the thing needed to get them all to finally commit to
reforming: "We're going back to our roots. It is a reunion. It's a
beautiful thing."
When asked if the awards-ceremony would be a dry-run for a full scale
musical reunion Jardine said, "I sure hope so. The only reason we're
here is because we're sharing the music and love... And then the
lawyers came. An impressive offer (for a reunion) has been made. We
just need to sit down and agree to do it -- or not to. But that's what
we've already been doing (laughs)."
Founding Beach Boy David Marks told LAUNCH that the group's records
will never fall out of fashion: ["The Beach Boys actually symbolize a
happier time. People are drawn to it -- and continually drawn back to
it, because mainly people wanna feel good, and the music is just feel-
good music, what can I say? And it reminds everyone of happier times
too." SOUNDCUE (:16 OC:. . . happier times too)
Beach Boys historian Jon Stebbins told LAUNCH that, "It's nice to know
that David Marks is finally getting acknowledged for the hit records
he contributed to. Let's hope this type of goodwill is a signal that
Dennis Wilson's great unreleased music will finally see the light of
day."
Stebbins long awaited biography on Marks, titled The Lost Beach Boy is
due out later this year. In 2000, Stebbins published the definitive
biography on Dennis Wilson, titled The Real Beach Boy.
