Assuming everyone's seen the Bruce Spizer books on the Beatles releases- what would you all give for The Beach Boys Story On Capitol Records, with those same production values...?

One volume for singles, one for LPs...

I thought the first one, The Beatles On VeeJay-(a high-end hardcover tome on the Beatles Vee Jay releases, for Pete's sake)- was as far out as publishing gets, but guess what?  It sold, and it spawned an excellent series.  The Capitol books are absolute must-haves and prove what a rich and interesting subject matter the label end of the business is.  I haven't got the Apple books yet, but I assume they'll be as good.

Granted, that's the Beatles, but the Beatles on Vee-Jay?

I demand to know why we can't have a similar quality Beach Boys On Capitol book. All we need is one crazed but capable fan writer like Bruce Spizer.   Maybe Spizer himself could be interested through a petition or something?

If you can find them for something less than the 50 dollar list price, I highly recommend getting the Apple books.  Best Beatles books ever.

Haven't seen the Vee Jay one yet though... that must get old, considering every album has the same songs...

I haven't picked up the Apples yet because I haven't figured out if there's a box set version (I know, I know).

On Vee Jay, my point exactly.  If the Beatles on Vee Jay Records merits such a deluxe treatment, the Beach Boys' entire Capitol period certainly does as well.

Me too. So much rare material... to have it all compiled in one book would be awesome.
