The Beach Boys brought the sun, surf and California dreaming to the world. Get ready for the good vibrations as we take a look in to the start of their post garage phase. From the seminal Pet Sounds through to the socially charged Surf's Up! we'll go through the ups and downs of this turbulent period for the band. Not only that, we discuss summer songs, Charles Manson, the secret to great harmonies and of course there's another instalment of the classic lyric game! As ever check out our 15 track playlist of songs from this period to get you in the mood for this surfin' safari!Contact: [email protected]
