John Foster This is a rare glimpse of the Beach Boys from 1964, reaching the peak of their career, before Brian retired from touring with the group. The sound is great and they make it all look so easy! Brian's fingers dance around his bass guitar as he sings in his slightly self-conscious way. And the whole group is obviously having a good time.My favourite songs are two rather mellow Brian Wilson tunes -- 'In my Room' and 'Surfer Girl'. But punchier hits such as 'Surfin' USA' and 'Fun, Fun, Fun' also feature. And several novelty songs, like 'Long Tall Texan', are included.
