MIAMI HERALD "Roy A. Sciacca is suing the Beach Boys for the right to sell Brian Wilson's original sheet music for hits such as 'Good Vibrations' and 'Wouldn't it be Nice', said to be worth some $20 million. Sciacca says he's the legal owner of Wilson's handwritten sheet music, which was contained in boxes of 'junk' Sciacca bought for a nominal amount at a liquidation auction of memorabilia held by the Beach Boys' management in the 1980s."
"The band, through its management company Brother Records, alleges the sheet music was stolen and has halted Sciacca's planned auction of the items. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Miami."
Roy A. Sciacca is Secretary of GEM SYSTEMS, INC. and the head of Star Memorabilia.
