BeachBoysTalk Episode 5: Howie Edelson!

[mattbeachboystalk]

Greg and I are so excited to welcome Howie Edelson to the show this week! We will be talking to him about his career and experiences with The Beach Boys. We will also ask him about the box sets and the creative process behind them. Join us Tuesday at 8EST on YouTube and Facebook.

What would you like for the next BB release? I would love a 15 Big Ones, Love You, MIU box set.

I'd love for you to ask Howie about this subject:

I remember excitedly gathering in front of our family television on Thursday evening August 5, 1976, to watch the one-hour NBC special on the Beach Boys, who were all over the media that bi-centennial summer.

I know little about television production but assume that many hours of video were shot in June of that year and then carefully edited down to a 50-minute broadcast.

Does anyone know what may have happened to all that unused footage? Was it destroyed or is it stored in an NBC vault somewhere? It would be fascinating to see the raw footage and sad to think of it languishing in a vault never to be seen.

Here's the YouTube link to the interview. Very entertaining:

(And the question above about the '76 Anaheim footage was addressed as well).

Fantastic interview👍🏼

It was a pretty insightful interview.  I was only vaguely familiar that the band was working on a proper follow-up to Holland until Endless Summer came along to forever imprison the band into the oldies circuit.  Would have loved to have heard more about this.  Based on what little we've heard from this period such as "Barnyard Blues" it sounds like we potentially could have gotten something special.

This was superb!  Well done and can listen to Howie all day--fantastic insights!
