How about a coffee-book size book with lots of rare pictures. Also good album cover shots (all the albums) with indisputable quotes, comments and facts from the Beach Boys themselves.

Malcolm definitely has the inside track on this one...in fact he's got a great book sitting there in web site form...and i've been wanting to help him make it happen in print...but life is constantly slamming me with things like a POB reissue gig(can't complain). I really hope you, Malc, keep polishing and improving and one day it will be a book and a truly cool one.

Joe Chemay.
I was working with Pink Floyd and they told me that the Beach Boys were going to singing backup on a few songs...a few years later Bruce gave me a call and told me the Beach Boys needed someone to play bass on an epic disco masterpiece!

Sorry for derailing the thread here, but wasn't the disco version of "Here Comes The Night" recorded and released at least six months before Pink Floyd got Bruce Johnston in to sing backups on THE WALL? I mean Pink Floyd didn't ask the Beach Boys to sing on an earlier album, did they?

A valid derailing.  I was wondering the same thing.

I left a message on the operaglass guestbook 2 years ago asking for those covers to be put in a book form. Yeah...still a great concept IMO. Goodluck!

Whatever, I was just joking.

I'd like to see Mike write a book, because he's such a character it'd just stir up more controversy, and you wouldn't know what to believe and what not to believe.  Not that that's necessarily a good thing, but it would definately be intriguing, and much more interesting than any book anybody else could write. 

Marilyn would be a good book as well, but the problem is that she's moved on and remarried, so if she did it now it would seem to be opportunistic, which she's never done before and I doubt she will now.  Maybe 15 or 20 years ago it would have made sense, or if she went on to do something else she was 'famed' for she could write a book about her life, but her public persona is simply "Brian Wilson's ex-wife" and that would be horrible for her to represent herself in that way, when I'm sure she's much more proud of the private life she's living today that we know little about.

I know he's gone but I would have loved to have read a book by Chuck Britz. If anyone knew the band he did, but he always kept a low profile when he probably could have sold his story for a ton of money. The fact that he didn't is partially why I value his input so much. Listening to the interview he gave that was on the board recently he didn't seem to dramatize or sugar coat the way things were. He was straightforward but you could tell he really cared about the boys.
