font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;,sans-serif" lang="EN-US">The Beach Boys pioneered the wildly popular
"Surf Sound," selling more records than any other American band. And
2016 marks the 50th anniversary of their groundbreaking and hugely influential
album Pet Sounds and its follow-up single, "Good Vibrations." This
book offers the first fully illustrated, in-depth examination of the group^s
story, with a special emphasis on the creation of those two masterpieces and
what came after. More than 150 images include classic and rarely published
photographs, album artwork, and archive memorabilia. By examining the writing,
recording, and performance of the band^s entire catalog, mostly created by
Brian Wilson, the book presents a unique look at the times, trials, and
tribulations that went into making the Beach Boys, both before and after their
1966 triumphs. </span></p>
