Hollywood-based US label, largely associated with the hits of the
Beach Boys. Many thanks to John Cummins for these listings and his comments,
including ‘Both LPs are amateurish productions and one wonders why a major
label such as Capitol was associated with these releases.’ John adds that the
first of the BCB recordings listed below, and both are by the 1958 version of
the band, bearing no resemblance to its 1930s predecessor, was probably the
first live commercial Irish music release (recorded at the Irish Club in
Dublin’s Parnell Square).
