4.0 out of 5 stars
Essential 4 BB fans,
By Tracy Deaton (Port Orchard, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beach Boys: The Authorized Illustrated Biography (Hardcover)
Tho not the 1st or best in-depth Beach Boys' bio (that's David Leaf's THE BEACH BOYS AND THE CALIFORNIA MYTH, 5 stars), Preiss's book is still compulsively readable, contains a ton of interviews & other material (some of it's new), & is livened up by many reprinted lyrics, & flashy art & photos "illustrating" the Boys' songs -- & also includes many photos from Guy Webster's originally-planned SMILE-insert booklet.There R few errors -- tho Preiss mis-identifies the vocalist on the SMILE track "Do You Dig Worms." Overall, this is a flashy package, with enuf substance & info on the band 2 make it worth the price. & U could do WAY worse -- U could read Steven Gaines' HEROES AND VILLAINS by mistake.... |
