REVIEW:

Maybe one of our members can confirm this but, it's my guess that this was taken from a VHS compilation titled "The Beach Boys Video History".  This production has had interactive menu and scene selection components programmed for the disc, which is very nice.  It's a very fun compilation to watch and would be fairly comprehensive had all of their American Bandstand appearances included.

Clearly, whomever pieced this together is a devoted fan.  It just has that feeling of devotion stamped on it.  There are some really precious clips featured throughout.  The most fun of all though, is the footage from The Jack Benny Show.  The exact year is not known but it is the late 60's anyway.  After singing California Girls, Jack Benny & Bob Hope pull up in a Dune Buggy dressed in full surfing regalia and boards.  The interaction in this skit is worth the price of the disc!  You don't get to see this stuff everyday.

Obviously with all of the various clips gathered here, the quality varies considerably.  From marginal to superb.
