California Girls

[Pretty Funky]

From Wiki.

Stebbins was a member of a music band called 'The Point' which was active on the Los Angeles club circuit from 1979 to 1985. [1] The Point were often described as part of L.A.'s psychedelic revival scene known as the Paisley Underground. They released a self-titled four song EP in 1981 that was described by the L.A. Times as having a "purity of intent that recalls the haunting resonance of pre-psychedelic Northern California groups like The Beau Brummels."

The Point released a full length album in 1983 called Magic Circle, (not to be confused with the 2005 album of the same title by Wizard.) The record was produced by Vitus Matare of The Last and recorded at Radio Tokyo studio in Venice, California and released on the Warfrat label. Magic Circle was also released in Europe in 1984 on the Lolita label. One of its songs, "All My Life" which was co-written by Stebbins and co-guitarist/vocalist Tom Alford, was included in a 2006 episode of the Gilmore Girls television show.

Thanxx! 
Tho I probably should have helped to line AGD's pockets and simply gone to google... ( silly Me)

I still think it is the biggest rip-off for iTunes to pay the artist roughly one cent for every download which costs buyers 99 cents to 1.29. But that's the modern age.

I think the recording artist gets roughly 10 cents per downloaded iTunes track, or roughly a dollar for a downloaded album.

But to go back to the orginal question...
David Lee Roths version features Carl on backing vocals... which in my world counts as a permission good as any!
//RD

And Brian is a fan of Roth's version and in concert even let Foskett sing a "I dig the girls....whao" in DLR's style.

I wonder how much pain it is for Brian (and Mike) not to own the songs. Don't know how many of you know about John Fogerty's case, but he didn't own his songs for what.... 30 years...? And he was very hurt, had mental problems (I guess depression) and didn't play them live for a long time.

I forget the ins and outs of the story, but as CCR's acting manager didn't Fogerty shoot himself in the foot on many of the groups financial aspects?

Oh yes he did. He was in his early twenties when he signed to Fantasy and signed an adhesion contract. He only was allowed to leave Fantasy when he gave up the rights to his songs (that's how I remember it)

I'm a fan of David Lee Roth so I've done some research on this. I read somewhere (most likely one of the Roth or Van Halen sites that I've frequented over the years) that Brian received around $500,000 in royalties because of the cover's success.

[Beach Boy]

As a huge Van Halen fan I came across this some time ago.
