Murry was the first manager of the Beach Boys; father of Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson; and uncle of Mike Love. The intention of Sea of Tunes was to publish and promote the songs written primarily by Brian.{{citation needed (lead)|date=October 2018}} Sale to Irving Almo MusicAfter the Beach Boys dismissed Murry Wilson as their manager in 1964, he continued to serve as their publisher.[1] In May 1969, Brian Wilson told the music press that the group's funds were depleted to the point that they were considering filing for bankruptcy at the end of the year, which Disc & Music Echo called "stunning news" and a "tremendous shock on the American pop scene".[1] In August, Murry, his wife Audree, and Brian allegedly signed away Sea of Tunes to Irving Almo Music, for the undervalued amount of $700,000 (equivalent to ${{Format price|{{Inflation|US|700000|1969|end_year={{Inflation-year|US}}}}}} in {{Inflation-year|US}}).{{sfn|Carlin|2006|p=145}}{{sfn|Love|2016|p=226}} Brian, according to his wife Marilyn Wilson, was devastated by the sale.{{sfn|Gaines|1986|p=224–225}} Mike Love wrote, in his 2016 memoir, that the group signed away their rights to the songs under duress, and that in the late 1980s, it was discovered that the exchange was part of an elaborate plan orchestrated over two years by Abe Somer, the Beach Boys' lawyer. Somer concealed the fact that he was also Irving Music's lawyer, marking a conflict of interest.{{sfn|Love|2016|pp=225–226, 376–377}} Over the years, the catalog would generate more than $100 million in publishing royalties, none of which Murry nor the band members ever received.{{sfn|Love|2016|p=227}} By 1994, the catalog was estimated to be worth $40 million (${{Format price|{{Inflation|US|40000000|1994|end_year={{Inflation-year|US}}}}}} in {{Inflation-year|US}}).[3]In the early 1990s, years after Murry's death, Brian claimed fraud and sued for the return of his song copyrights.[2] The suit suggested that Brian's signature may have been forged, "plus malpractice, misrepresentations, suppression of facts, breach of contract and conflicts of interest," making the sale illegal.[3][4] While he failed to recover them in court, he was awarded $25 million in damages, including unpaid and underpaid royalties.[5]{{not in citation|date=May 2018}} Mike Love credits{{Infobox United States District Court case|italic title=no | name = Love v.

An inherent conflict of interest there."[10] Love hoped that "we don't have to go to trial because it's going to destroy Brian. He's going to be destroyed in depositions, first of all, let alone getting him in court."[7] They were unable to come up with a settlement, and so Love filed suit against Wilson in 1992.[8] After an eight-week-long trial and eight days of deliberation, on December 12, 1994, Love won the case.[8] The jury ruled that Love and Wilson were partners, that Wilson or his agents concealed material facts with the intention of defrauding Love, and that they engaged in promissory fraud with respect to publishing credits and royalties, and that Love was owed the 35 songs disputed. Love later called it "almost certainly the largest case of fraud in music history".{{sfn|Love|2016|p=373}} He was subsequently awarded a co-writing credit to 35 songs that were published from 1962 to 1966, as well as $13 million.[8] Awarded credits[9]{{columns-list|colwidth=20em|
