NOTE: This is a 12 CD set. "As a founding member of the Beach Boys, Mike Love has spent an extraordinry fifty-fve years and counting as the group's lead singer and one of its principal lyricists. The Beach Boys, from their California roots to their international fame, are a unique American story - one of overnight success and age-defying longevity, of musical genius and reckless self-destruction; of spirituality, betrayal, and forgiveness - and Love is the only band member to be part of it each and every step of the way. His own story has never been fully told, and it's the story of how a sheet-metal apprentice became the quintessential front man for America's most successful rock band, singing in more than 5,600 concerts in twenty-six countries. Love describes the stories behind his lyrics for pop classics while providing vivid portraits of the turbulent lives of his three gifted cousins, Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson. Love's partnership with Brian has few equals in American pop music, though Mike has carved out a legacy of his own - he co-wrote the lyrics to eleven of the twelve original Beach Boy songs that were Top 10 hits while providing the lead vocals on ten of them. The band's durability provides a glimpse into America's changing cultural mores over the past half century, while Love himself has experienced both the diabolical and the divine. A husband, a father, and an environmentalist, Love has written a book that is as rich and layered as the Beach Boy harmonies themselves." - from the rear box.
