On October 28, the Beach Boys were the featured cover story on that date's issue of "Rolling Stone". It included the first part of a lengthy two-part interview, titled "The Beach Boys: A California Saga", conducted by journalists Tom Nolan and David Felton. Unusually, the story devoted minimal attention to the group's music, and instead focused on the band's internal dynamics and history, particularly around the period when they fell out of step with the 1960s counterculture. At the end of the month, "Surf's Up" peaked on the US charts at number 29, becoming their highest-charting album there since "Wild Honey" (1967).
