Synopsis
Originally published in 1978 as The Beach Boys and the California Myth, this groundbreaking study was both the first full-length book on the band and the first to recognise Brian Wilson as one of the most significant and influential artists of the twentieth century. It takes an intimate look at Wilson's rollercoaster of a life and career, told through the eyes of those who were there, including Brian's mother, his best friends and many of his collaborators, such as Tony Asher and Van Dyke Parks - who worked with him on the legendary productions Pet Sounds and SMiLE. Extensively updated to also cover the last four decades of Brian's career, this indispensable book features unique contributions by Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Barry Gibb, Jimmy Webb, and Melinda Wilson.

However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
