Does Manson not commit his murders ITTL.
 
So Manson is apart of The Beach Boys in ITTL?

Edit: So does this mean he still does commit the murders but later (like 1969 or the early 70s), do the Beach Boys get a bad rep for letting a murderer into their group?
Pretty much. After falling in with Dennis and dealing with Brian having a mental breakdown the Boys bring Manson in as a full member.

Did you make a follow-up album? This TL seems interesting. Also how would this album do on the charts? Because from what I can tell SMiLE still isn’t released, would it chart ALA Friends in OTL?

So I’m guessing this is The Beatles under a pseudonym with Linda singing
 
Not even with Linda singing. The 'Suzy' bit is pure misdirection.
Nice! Kind of like Derek & The Dominos! A potential pseudonym that Paul thought of during the Get Back Sessions was "Ricky & The Red Streaks". So really it could have been Suzy, Ricky or something else - the Beatles came up with quite a few pseudonyms for themselves! :)
 
[ wait, Billy Shears was Peter Frampton , Billy Preston was Sgt. Pepper: so I guess we need Elvis belting out "Show Me The Way" ]
Or he could be "Mr. Kite", I hated George Burns version of it.
All in all, it was a crappy movie, an alternate version could be a LOT better.

While fans believed they never see Presley and the Beatles ever reunite together but to their surprise during a Presley concert in Las Vegas, Paul McCartney appeared on stage and sang with Elvis. After the song the two announced they would record a new album together alongside Ringo and George Harrison. The sessions for Abbey Road would see multiple songs recorded that would be added to different albums. The four would decide to keep in touch with one another and would record and even tour together, however John Lennon would not be apart of this and would stay in New York and record his own material.
