Description:At last, after ten years, nearly 1250 posts, the exhaustion of five laptops and very nearly the author himself, the Alan’s Album Archives website (www.alansalbumarchives.blogspot.com) is now a bona fide book series. The AAA has been reviewing everything by a select list of thirty acts or artists since its inception in 2008 and we mean everything: all the studio albums analysed in mind-numbing detail (we get upset if a review doesn’t make 7000 words!), every live album, every solo spin-off, rarities albums, box sets, all the important compilation albums, A sides, B sides, EP tracks, all the key books and DVDs, a guide to all the surviving TV clips, the best songs that are still unreleased, landmark concerts, important cover songs, ‘extracts from our website’s ‘top ten’ column looking at topics shared amongst our bands and an essay per book getting to the heart of what makes each of our chosen artists tick. Exclusive to these books compared to the website are three new sections: ‘biographies’ of all the key players, ‘thematic threads’ analysing themes that run through the book and three key influences that inspired the chosen acts to make their music. Everything our chosen golden thirty ever did should be in these books somewhere, from teenage doo-wop recordings to albums only released in Germany to obscure spin-off live albums, all in as close to chronological order as is humanly possible. It’s like a big record – both in terms of recording everything a band ever did and in the fact that we’ve presented it like a ‘record’ with an ‘A’ side and a ‘B’ side. Along the way we seek to ask ‘why?’ an album or song turned out the way it did, as well as the usual questions of ‘Who?’ ‘What?’ ‘When?’ and ‘Where?’ These books aren’t meant to be definitive, they’re not meant to be the final word on the music and they’re not meant to replace the official books – that’s why they’re the Alan’s Album Archives Guides, one fan’s attempt to be the big brother with the record collection you always dreamed of whispering in your ear and saying ‘don’t buy that you clodpole, buy this!’ One book a month in the series is due to be released between June 2018 and December 2020 in a colourful way designed for use in tablet form (though they can be read in monochrome Kindle format if you tweak your settings slightly). We begin with a particularly ambitious volume dedicated to all things Beach Boys that topped 900 pages in A4 Word document form. Covering twenty-nine studio records in depth and 413 songs all analysed in turn, this densely packed volume also includes every album by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine , Bruce Johnston, ‘Celebration’ and ‘The Flame’. This book’s essay deals with ‘The Beach Boys in relation to The American Dream’ while the ‘Thematic Threads’ section studies such things as brotherly love, Brian’s many girlfriends and his response to his nervous breakdown. The ‘News, Views and Music’ newsletter top tens include such articles as ‘the top Beach Boys rarities still unreleased on CD’, ‘The best foreign language AAA songs’ and a ‘pun filled AAA cookbook’. To give you a taste and to check your compatibility levels, Alan’s favourite song and album for this book: ‘I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times’ and ‘Smile’ (in all its versions!) His most under-rated hit single is ‘When I Grow Up (To Be A Man)’. His least favourite song and album for this book: ‘That’s Why God Made The Radio’ and ‘Brian Is Back’ (because he flipping wasn’t!)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with The Alan's Album Archives Guide To The Music Of...The Beach Boys: 'Add Some Music To Your Day'.
