In the 1960s, rock acts like [[the Beatles]], [[the Rolling Stones]], and [[the Kinks]] produced some of their own songs,<ref>{{Cite web |title=John Lennon & Paul McCartney Interview: The Tonight Show, May 14th 1968 - Beatles Interviews Database |url=http://www.beatlesinterviews.org/db1968.05ts.beatles.html |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=www.beatlesinterviews.org}}</ref> although many such songs are officially credited to specialist producers. Yet especially influential was [[the Beach Boys]], whose band leader [[Brian Wilson]] took over from his father [[Murry Wilson|Murry]] within a couple of years after the band's commercial breakthrough. By 1964, Wilson had taken Spector's techniques to unseen sophistication. Wilson alone produced all Beach Boys recordings between 1963 and 1967. Using multiple studios and multiple attempts of instrumental and vocal tracks, Wilson selected the best combinations of performance and audio quality, and used tape editing to assemble a composite performance.
