NOTES:

As we go down another Japanese memory lane, let’s spare a thought for the Earthquake/Tsunami/nuclear fallout victims in Japan, as well as those in China and New Zealand. And for those who can, in your own countries, donate to a charity that is sending aid to Japan and/or any of the afflicted places.

Steven Gaines’ Heroes And Villains: The True Story Of The Beach Boys gives only a cursory mention of the Beach Boys’ 1965/66 tour:

After two dates and ten days of knowing each other - with Mike (Love) bragging he had $70,000 in the bank - he asked Suzanne (Belcher) to marry him. They flew to Las Vegas on October 15, 1965, where they were quietly married. Then Mike had to rush home for a Beach Boys appearance on The Andy Williams Show. Mike took his new bride with him and the rest of the Beach Boys on a long Asian tour, which included Japan, Hong Kong and Honolulu.

With the other Beach Boys gone, Brian started work on a new album, which would turn out to be the watershed of his career.

Of the Pet Sounds recording, Steven Gaines continues:

[When] the other members of the group returned to LA, they found that most of the tracks were complete - and they didn’t like it. They objected to Brian’s preconceived notion of what the vocals should sound like. Mike Love reportedly considered this Brian’s ‘ego’ music… ‘It took some getting used to,’ Alan Jardine admitted. ‘When we left the country, we were just a surfing group. This was a whole new thing.’

The vocals tracks were arduous to lay down, and Brain made them work harder than ever to perfect them. Mike hated Brian’s role as taskmaster. ‘Who’s gonna hear this?’ he asked. “The ears of a dog? But Brian had those kind of ears, so I said, ‘Okay, we’ll do it another time.’ Every voice in its resonance and tonality and timbre had to be right. Then the next day he might throw it out and have us do it again.”… [Brian] would sometimes let the group do the vocals the way they wanted, then, after they left the studio, he would wipe the vocals off completely and finish the track himself, since he could sing all the parts.
