Just as an aside to all my dear friends in the Netherlands, I was at a pub in Edinburgh and met a couple from Holland and I asked them about the Beach Boys and they were able to sing with great joy Surfing USA, but they had no idea whatsoever where the city of Baambrugge was, though they lived about an hour from there. They've never heard of it and said it must be a small town. I just thought that was funny.

According to this source, "Some geographers specifically define a village as having between 500 and 2,500 inhabitants." An hour's drive from Baambrugge can take you halfway across The Netherlands, so it's no surprise your Dutch couple had never heard of it. And I'd guess most people in NL have never heard of Holland. I myself lived here for nearly 30 years before I learned of that album's existence. Lovely city, Edinburgh.

Beach Boys in The Netherlands (have) shelter Housing shortage in The Netherlands? Give the Beach Boys a break!
Two years ago I did a trip down memorylane (see pg 16 of this topic). This time I did a small detour, while being in the area. Mike temporary home on Rustenburgherweg 29 in Bloemendaal. Hardly changed, except for the garden’s hedge which has grown immensely. (That, or the photographer was so bold he actually entered the front yard)

Anyone fancy a new home in Holland ?
You might find some old reel tapes on the attic... either with cricket sounds or yet another home recorded little gem. Or a worn out copy of Randy Newman's Sail Away album...

Has anybody ever seen a photo of Brian actually in Holland during the making of said album?

Another Holland related item I just purchased. Related? Well, there’s only the slightest connection. The surprise is in the fold out… (yes, this is inside the former BBC2 studio)
