THE BEACH BOYS
OUR FAVOURITE RECORDING SESSIONS
“ABRIDGED AND ILLUMINATED EDITION”
180 PAGES
WELL OVER 1000 B&W AND COLOUR IMAGES
UNLOCKED PDF DOCUMENT
This is the E-BOOK version of the April 2000 book In The Studio With Brian Wilson And The Beach Boys: Our Favourite Recording Sessions reconfigured, annotated and illuminated.
What you get is an insightful look into over 90 Beach Boys and Brian Wilson related recording sessions documented via American Federation Of Musicians (Local 47) recording contracts that span the period from February 1962 to August 1970.
Every effort has been made to gather together all the relevant facts and trivia about each recording session, together with information detailing the availability (and format) of the material in question.
Unlike the printed book, this E-BOOK version only deals with the AFM Contracts in question.
The sections “Who Said ‘The Beach Boys’?”; Summer 1961-Summer 1962 - What Really did Happened?” and “The First Sessions - An Overview” have been omitted as this musical period of the Beach Boys is more thoroughly documented in the three books The Beach Boys 1961-1963: Inception And Conception; The Candix Story and Beach Boys, Surfer’s Stomp And Candix, also available as E-BOOKS from payhip.com.
Also not included in this E-BOOK edition is “The Sea Of Tunes CDS-Truly Unsurpassed Masters” section.
However, an additional section dealing with the FOUR VERSIONS of the Beach Boys’ tune Vegetables/Vega-Tables is included which was not in the original printed book.
Stephen's books are always well researched and encyclopedic with information.
Do yourself a favour and have a look at his body of work.
