The Beach Boys on film?

Post by Axkorecords »

Hi everybody

The surviving film material by The Beatles is fairly well documented - either in books or on the beatleonfilm website. But is anyone aware of a website or a book detailing all that's available from The Beach Boys? Are there bootleg DVD collections comparable with FAB or BA Productions devoted to Beach Boys footage?

Some well-known collections are at Pink Robert's forum and Guitars101.

Best book, by the Beach Boys, I believe it's called
'Chronicles' 30 years of Beach Boys,
had something like Beatles Recording Sessions, plus include some of the
TV & Radio recordings, including the One BBC of I think 6 songs
Lord Reith has that, from me several months ago
I think the COTO series eveolved from that

The latter years it sure needs updating, bur overall, I taken some notes

Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, & Jimi Hendrix Session Books are good too

Do you mean this one
hxxps://www.amazon.com/Beach-Boys-Definitive-Am ... 0879308184
or this one?
hxxps://www.amazon.com/Beach-Boys-Concert-Ultim ... 1617134562

The first one is seriously outdated, I mean, many things are not correct.

If you mean the one by the BBs, it's "The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys".

I wouldn't dismiss the first book totally, it's an amazing document, but sadly when Smile came out in 2011, or maybe even before, that book became known as not too reliable.
