Hey again
I was wondering how long Glen Campbell was a member of the band as their bass player? Also, during this time, did he do any recording sessions as their bass player which could have possibly turned into an album with Glen's picture on the cover as a band member? I guess he left before that could ever have happened but I was just curious. Keep rocking guys.

Glen was a touring bassist, guitarist, (and occasional banjoist) between December 26 1964 and May 15 1965, with both Brian and Bruce filling in for some dates during his tenure. None of the Beach Boys tracks recorded during that time features Glen on bass. He did however play 12-string acoustic rhythm guitar on "Please Let Me Wonder," "Help Me Ronda," and possibly 'Help Me Rhonda."

Here's a timeline that I prepared some time ago:

ive been watching a Glen Campbell commentary. He said he got to sing with them on record.
What is the proof or any evidence of that?  unless he is talking about 'guess I'm dumb'.
any knowledge of that? singing wise?
edit: maybe he can sing flute

Best of my knowledge, he never sang on a studio session while in the band. Never played on "GV" either.

Now, that's a fascinating one. Craig has confirmed that, while she did unquestionably play on several "GV" sessions, she's not on the final edit. :D

I could have swore she sang on "Let's go away for awhile" imitating a flute.... LOL
