The Boys as they appeared in concert - Sacramento, CA (1964)
Introduction by B.J. Major
From the very first time I heard the
infectious Beach Boys' sound, I was hooked. That was
almost 50 years ago. I loved their musicality, their
close harmonies, and the beat of their songs. I was a
drummer back then and I was captivated by their surfing and
hot rod rhythms. I loved to play to their
records. This discography is an effort on my part to
pay tribute to all the great music The Beach Boys have given
us over the years and in particular to salute the years they
recorded on the Capitol Records label.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Leslie J. Pfenninger of On A&M Records for her support and encouragement throughout the birthing of this project and for proofreading the entire site prior to it going online. Leslie also contributed international listing info to this site. My gratitude also goes out to Peter Bay of the Austin Symphony Orchestra for his assistance in contributing scans and listing information for the site. Thanks very much also to Wolfgang Weissbrodt for supplying rare international listing info and scans for the site. And of course I am very grateful to The Beach Boys themselves: Al Jardine, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love and especially Brian Wilson for their wonderful music, arrangements, and hours of countless pleasure I have enjoyed in listening to their records.
