BEACH BOYS '69 (THE BEACH BOYS LIVE IN LONDON)

Produced by The Beach Boys

Band line-up
Mike Love
Carl Wilson
Dennis Wilson
Al Jardine
Bruce Johnston

A hidden gem amongst the Beach Boys catalogue, Live In London is a recording which shows the band at a transitional period, when they were at a commercial peak in the UK while almost unrecognised in their home country, adding more interesting and obscure material to the hits. The album doesn't contain a single song also performed on their first live album from less than four years previously!
