I heard that Brian's hand-written lyrics to "Surf City"were on Jan & Dean's website but I can't find them. Can anyone direct me to a place where I can see them. Or if not could someone kindly upload them?

You can see a very small picture of them in this newsletter of the INTERNATIONAL SURFING MUSEUM:

Thanks Christian. That's where I saw the hand-written lyrics but then read that there was a scan on Jan & Dean's website but couldn't find it. Thanks anyway Smiley

The J&D camp is rather polarised at the moment and therefore you have an Official Jan Berry web sight (run by Mark A. Moore) and an Official J&D sight (run by Dean Torrence)...

It's the latter one you need. I can't seem to give you a direct link to the lyrics but if you follow this, then you should be there or there abouts...

Yeah I never could understand that Jan camp and Dean camp thing. They were both good.

Yeah I found that picture a little while back. That is another cool picture though cause I haven't really seen too many photos of Brian with Jan and/or Dean

The Dean and Brian "in the studio" picture I first saw in the J&D Anthology double album booklet. Don't know for certain but I've always assumed, given the young looks and Dean's long hair, that it was in someway connected to the recording of the Dean Torrence/Laughing Gravy version of 'Vegetables'...?

It is strange Dean and Brian photos are not seen that often, especially as Dean (perhaps more so that Jan?) it appears was something of a good friend of Brian throughout the early/mid sixties. Dean is featured in the infamous Guy Webster photo taken at LA (was it?) airport. The one which is usually shown along with a caption running something like... "Brian telephoned ahead and asked Marilyn to get together all of his close friends and come to meet him at the airport. In little short of a couple of months, one by one these people would fade from Brian's life..."

The shots come from 1971 when they redid Vegetables.  There are two others. One inclueded in the album of Brian alone and one of Brian, Dean, Marilyn and Diane recording. That one is the John Milward book.

The photo of Jan Berry and Brian Wilson is from a 1965 KFWB launch party... I believe for "The Girls on the Beach," but I could be wrong. Lesley Gore was also there, in other pictures.

There's a 1963 shot of Jan, Brian, Mike Love, Dean Torrence and Dave Marks that will be appearing full-page in my new book "Pop Surf Culture" on Santa Monica Press.

I was hoping that Jill Gibson or Marylin Wilson might have snapped a shot of Jan & Brian working together in the '60s, but thus far, nothing has turned up.
