The Beach Boys
May 7, 2012
The infamous Beach Boys are about to embark on a 50th Anniversary adventure that includes a world-wide tour, commemorative catalog releases and the debut of a highly-anticipated new studio album. They are scheduled to celebrate their unprecedented milestone with QVC! Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks are set to head to QVC Wednesday, May 16 at 7 PM (ET) to unveil their much-anticipated new release That's Why God Made The Radio. During The Beach Boys' QSessions Live broadcast, fans will have the opportunity to order the new album, which has been specially packaged just for QVC shoppers with a greatest hits bonus CD, nearly a month before the new album's release date.
As America's first pop band to reach the 50 year milestone, The Beach Boys completed their recording sessions at Los Angeles' Ocean Way Studios for That's Why God Made The Radio, the band's 29th studio album (including 2011's The SMiLE Sessions). The album is the first in decades to feature all of the band's surviving original members and was produced by Wilson and executive produced by Love. The album's 11 new songs illustrate The Beach Boys' unique and evocative West Coast story with the band's timeless signature sound.
The bonus CD, which will only be available to QVC shoppers, will feature an eclectic assortment of The Beach Boys' greatest hits. That's Why God Made The Radio with bonus CD will be available starting May 16th at QVC.com or (800) 345-1515, while supplies last.
