But, you know again, getting back to what a group like ours might represent - the cleanliness thing.

   

Sometimes one of us might be missing because we might be away or something, but there's always four or five.

   

I've been with the group since 1965. I will be beginning my fifth year on April ninth this year.

   

Records... a record just shouldn't be that important.

   

We try some really interesting things besides being outright commercial.

   

Before I joined The Beach Boys, I was working at Columbia Records as a producer, and saw The Byrds come in and do their first overdub before Terry even met them.

   

We've recorded over our voices once and double the harmonies, make them thick. The Four Freshmen do that.

   

We're not trying to top ourselves with each record, obviously.

   

I mean it shouldn't hang you up emotionally if your record fails.

   

You know, if I wrote the arrangements two years from now, they would probably be a lot slicker.

   

We are a business, and you do a little of what you think's right, pay your bills, and attract... a single record attracts attention to your concerts and your albums.

   

Carl, Dennis and Brian are brothers, and Mike Love's a cousin.

   

Well, a lot of our concerts do okay, and I know we still get royalty checks which still isn't that important, but again, I have to just say that we're making our records.

   

I really dig The Byrds. I think they are the most underrated - in their original form - pop group.

   

Brian came back in on the road and Al stayed, but Al's the original member of the group.

   

You know, The Beach Boys' image is kinda like a group Doris Day, you know what I mean?

   

For us... you know, we're not The Beatles.

   

We're just kinda surviving at a very comfortable level.

   

You know, Glen Campbell sang with the group right before I joined the group.

   

Of course The Beach Boys will be camp.
