A family company started as early as 1961 with Surf & Hot Rod Sound. Brian Wilson who had drug problems
was with the group till 1967, after that only writes songs and worked in the studio, around 1976 he returned.
Brians work with PET SOUNDS maybe the best record in 1967 with great arrangements a concept Popsike
album and for me better than Sgt.Pepers. The Band was very successful in the 60s. In the early 70s they
only had some smaler hits.
