(This is from comments appearing on the cover of at least 1 edition of "Beatles in the beginning, c. 1960, with Tony Sheridan".) It's also my understanding that Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys was going deaf in one ear, and became quite withdrawn, and stopped touring with the group (replaced on the tours by singers such as Glen Campbell and Bruce Johnston). Other members of the group were concerned about the new sounds found on Pet Sounds LP, even though such LP became a classic. (It compares to Sgt. Pepper or Rubber Soul, and is the 1st Beach Boys LP not to have surfing and/or car songs on it.)
