The Beach Boys on CD vol 3

Between 1983 and 2017 the Beach Boys released dozens of albums, together and apart, including some of the best music ever recorded - and some not so good. In this book, Andrew Hickey looks at this music track by track, analysing every song that Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Al, Bruce and David recorded and released during that time period. From 1980s hits like Kokomo to Brian Wilson's solo rerecording of Smile, in this book you'll learn how they were recorded, why they work the way they do, and which albums to buy if you want to hear a great band at their best.



The Beach Boys on CD volume three covers the band's work as a group and as solo artists, from 1985's self-titled album to Brian Wilson's 2015 album No Pier Pressure, along with the archival releases such as The Pet Sounds Sessions, The Smile Sessions, and Made in California which contributed to a reassessment of the band's legacy in that time period.
