The Beach Boys "Brother Records" Bronze Sculpture from the Santa Monica Office. Founded in 1966, by Mike Love, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson. Brothers Records came about due to Capitol Records perceived lack of support. They wanted more creative control so they started their own record company.
The company logo was chosen based on a life size bronze statue by Cyrus E. Dallin's in 1908. Carl Wilson was asked in 1975 why the group used this as their logo, he said "The Indian was chosen because the Wilson brothers' grandfather believed there was a spiritual Indian guide who watched over them from the other side." "Appeal to the great spirit".
Mike Love was also quoted "Their is no one more American than the American Indian."
This rare example was on display in the entrance to the Brothers Records' Santa Monica office.
