June 12, 20251 yr In my youth I only purchased a handful of pop singles and LPs. The Beatles, the Stones, Procul Harem's "Grand Hotel" - the LP purchased solely for their massive hit "A Whiter Shade of Pale" but I soon came to love every song on that album - and of course The Beach Boys. Their songs illuminated the sun and fun of the great California outdoors, such a contrast to what felt like still drab Britain beyond swinging London. RIP
