The Beach Boys: Surf's Up (Brother/Reprise)
Dave Marsh, Creem, January 1972
I HAVE, AT one time or another, been a Beach Boys fan. I was even more a punk then than I am now, though, and so, after I'd heard the Who, my interest, started to dwindle. I kept up with the Beach Boys, though, because they were making incredible post-surfing music: 'Fun Fun Fun', 'I Get Around', the brilliant 'Help Me Rhonda', and 'California Girls'.
