The Beach Boys Song Book


Here's the answer to our 'clue', The Hollyridge Strings "The Beach Boys Song Book". The album was released in the mid sixties amongst a string of albums featuring instrumental versions of 'pop' group artists as the Beatles, Four Seasons, Elvis, Nat King Cole and eventually Simon & Garfunkle. This studio orchestra of Capital records conducted by Stu Phillips has a very unique style to themselves. The Hollyridge Strings were quite popular with air time on easy-listening stations. Enjoy some of your favorite Beach Boys hits that even includes a Christmas favorite, Little Saint Nick.

Thank you for the post. I wondered over here from another blog and have enjoyed leafing through your pages.
I love good instrumental versions of pop and rock songs as well as 101 Strings.

Keep up the good work.
