Not a Beach boys recording, but it has several good points.

"The song beach boy is quite enjoyable and the live tracks are okay. It has computer enhancements which are rather clever.
"beach boy" and studio performances of the live tracks appear on the album "Raygun Suitcase", which after repeated listenings I find quite satisfying.
incidently "Raygun Suitcase" does contain a very basic performance of "Surfer Girl" that wouldn't sound much out of place on the Beach Boys album "Wild Honey".
This EP and the album are no longer in print, pere ubu and Tim/Kerr parted ways because of a legal dispute, someday they may be re-issued. Cross your fingers but don't hold your breathe, any album released since 1988 up to "pennsylvana" just doesn't seem to get back into issue once discontinued.
Why the song was entitled "beach boy" isn't apparent to me as beach boy or surf references are not mentioned."
