...Polish. The group's latest LP, Surf's Up (Brother/Reprise), released last week, is a case in point. Always noted for their pop polish, they have this time turned out one of the most imaginatively produced LPs since last fall's All Things Must Pass by George Harrison and Phil Spector.

Instead of venting those gases into the air, the destinking system sends them into a special furnace fed by pressurized air and natural gas. The fumes are then forced through a flame that burns at 1350° F., which is the oxidation point of the sulfides and mercaptans. The resultant oxides...
Next to a naive girl the most important prop is a house. It should be a vast, forbidding domicile replete with walled-in rooms and a name that resounds like the surf it often fronts: Manderley, Mount Mellyn, Castle Crediton...
