How a Beach Boys fan ended up being a guardian of their legacy
Beach Boys archivist Alan Boyd talks to q about working with his idols and reconsidering some of their overlooked work.
Last year marked 50 years since the Beach Boys released their classic Pet Sounds album and head Beach Boy Brian Wilson went on tour to mark the occasion.
However, Wild Honey and Smiley Smile, released the year after Pet Sounds, aren't held in as high regard, and band archivist Alan Boyd is out to change that.
Boyd has compiled and produced the new reissue package of the Wild Honey album. 1967: Sunshine Tomorrow was released last week.
Boyd talks to q about why he believes Wild Honey deserves a second look and how he went from being a Beach Boys superfan to winning a Grammy for working with his idols.
