Ich lese gerade noch einmal das Buch von David Leaf über die Beach Boys und "The California Myth".
Auf Seite 65 (3. Auflage von 2022) wird beshrieben, wie Russ Reagan und Joe Saraceno über die
Namensfindung einer neuen Band aus Kalifornien sprechen:
"Russ Reagan, now a major figure in the recording industry, was just starting out in late 1961....
Reagan remembered that the A & R man over there was a friend of mine named Joe Saraceno.
He called me to play a record over the telephone. ...
"So", Russ continued, "I said", `Who is it ?` And he said "Ìt´s a new group we´re signing here at Candix;
called the Surfers.`And I said, `Joe you can´t call the the Surfers.There is a group over on Hi-Fi Records
called the Surfers. They are from Hawaii.` And he said, `You know something, you´re right.
I forgot about that. We´re gonna come up with a name.` So I laughing said, `why don´t you call them
the Lifeguards or the Beach Bums, the Woodies, anything to do with the beach.`
So finally I said, `I got it, why don´t you name them the Beach Boys!"
In seinem ebook über Candix Records hat Stephen J.McParland ein Foto des Labels "Surfin", auf dem der Name
"Surfers" als Band steht, bevor es dann zu den Beach Boys umgewandelt worden ist.
