Most casual music fans consider The Beach Boys as an oldies act. The group however was much more than that and there is a whole “other music” by them that only the die hards are familiar with. Some of that music was featured on progressive free form radio stations during the early to mid 1970’s. You can hear it being played  on some of the air checks posted to this site.

Below I have posted some examples  of that “other” Beach Boys music recorded between 1966 to 1973. Not a best of list as there is so much more on the albums released during this period.

The tracks below are not just fun and sun or an endless summer and are stylistically diverse with contributions from various band members.
