Beach Boys Pulled Out Of Doldrums
Keith Altham, NME Annual, 1969
WITHER The Beach Boys in 1969? The group that produced 'Good Vibrations' and 'God Only Knows' have never quite recaptured the magic of those halcyon days but 'Darlin' ', 'Wild Honey', and 'Do It Again' have added more power to their surf boards in this last year and are concrete proof that they are still very much in the Big Boys Beat League along with the Stones and the Beatles!
