The Beach Boys announce major new box set

A new box set The Beach Boys / We Gotta Groove: The Brother Studio Years is released on February 13 through Universal.

The the 3CD/3LP/digital set is produced by Beach Boys historians Howie Edelson and engineer James Sáez, with creative direction from longtime band archivist Alan Boyd.
