The Studio in Baambrugge, the Netherlands
where "Holland" was recorded




The Story
Here is the full text of this booklet.


Until now, in a career spanning more than a decade, the Beach Boys have recorded exclusively in California. They were the patron saints of surf boards, Hondas and cruisin'. With record sales in excess of 70 million (group sales second only to the Beatles), they spread the good-time gospel all over the planet. The Beach Boys/California identity became so powerful that one virtually stood for the other. That proved a mixed blessing. And suddenly last summer they reacted, on no less than a monumental scale, to a pressure that had built up over several years. Concentrating on their widely recognized obsession - technological advance - they took off for Holland where the surf's NEVER up and went through some half a million dollars settling in and arranging for nearly four tons of flying studio, a prototype for the future, to be brought from America. The evidence of the whole incredible adventure is their new album, simply called Holland .
