Beach Boys Set Up Record Label; Wilson Seeks Distributors
Los Angeles — Brother Records have been formed by the Beach Boys while domestic and foreign distributions for the new label currently are being sought. The group itself will not cut for their own company which falls under the umbrella Beach Boys Enterprises. They remain tied to Capitol Records. Brian Wilson will be executive producer for the teen-oriented company.
Over at Capitol Records, the west-coast group has just earned gold disk records for their recent single release, “Good Vibrations,” and for their Capitol LP’s, “Little Deuce Coupe,” and “Shut Down, Vol. II.” END.
