THE BEACH BOYS

The Beach Boys are a broken band now. Trump fan Mike Love and Bruce Johnston lead the cabaret faction, while Al Jardine enables Brian Wilson to glory in his singular genius. But 50 years ago their creativity was abundant. In 1967 they released two albums – the soulinfluenced Wild Honey and the fascinating Smiley Smile. This 2CD-set trawls the sessions of both, disinters the abandoned Lei’d In Hawaii Live album and adds various live cuts for 54 previously unreleased tracks. Lovely.
