RC’s Jamie Atkins was, so he headed to Oxfordshire to find out Beach Boys Celebrate the news! There’s more to The Beach Boys than their surfing and hot rod hits, more even than Pet Sounds. Jamie Atkins hails the greatness of their later period, when their hair grew longer and beards thicker and their music – minus the guidance of mastermind Brian Wilson – achieved new levels of ramshackle creativity. Van Morrison When Van Morrison released Astral Weeks in 1968, it created a new category – mystical, poetic folk-jazz.
