MOJO Special Spolier

[Dunderhead]

SO I wonder when we're getting some new info....with all the interviews Brian's been doing this past week you'd think he'd have a few more details to promote

[FUN³]

"A US Forest Service sign on the access trail refers to these mountains as "The Deadly Bells" and warns would-be climbers of "downsloping, loose, rotten and unstable" rock that "kills without warning". "

this smile sh*t just got serious son. maybe they found a recording of the earth element? he better shelve it and just put out a pebble.

[bsten]

The mag is supposed to be out on June 15, so how come the Ebay seller already has copies?
Also, "It’s in all good newsagents" - at what price?

This from the BW message board:

"Details about the special SMiLE edition of Mojo Magazine!!!

(posted by HarryApplemoos on June 10, 2011 at 6:13 am)

Message:

It’s a new kind of MOJO Special Edition, a deluxe package devoted to the decade that a sage once described as the greatest in the history of mankind. Centring on the still-astonishing story of the Beach Boys’ Smile, finally to be granted release in something close to its original intended form, MOJO ’60s includes an exclusive, super-collectible, 7" vinyl 45 of Smile’s once-mythic Cabinessence, on special, sunshine-coloured vinyl, and in-depth stories on the Rolling Stones’ Between The Buttons, acid and The Red Krayola. Plus unseen Hendrix, Dylan’s 1966, a Baron Wolman portfolio, Roy Harper on the first moon landing, and some group called The Beatles. It’s in all good newsagents from next Wednesday, June 15."

I don't really care for the art on the 7" sleeve, but it is interesting that it's Cabin Essence not Cabinessence.

Mike is holding everything up, you heard it here first 

[Andrew G. Doe]

It arrived - nothing particularly of note except

Brian says he didn't burn tapes, he did a 7 minute version of H&V and that VDP came up with initial the idea of doing the elements

*koff*

Told ya so. 

So, the only entirely new info is that VDP suggested The Elements. If true, kinda throws a humongous spanner in several people's theories.

If indeed that is true. Not saying it is or isn't, but how many times has Brian said something that we've all kinda went 'Uh, sure' to?

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Is a 7 minute version of H&V news? That's been known of for years.

'xactly - since 1967, to be precise.

Oh Andrew...you must have a crystal ball or something

Nope. I just apply simple logic. That and knowing who'd written it (and when) told me there'd be next to no new information.  Not seen it myself yet, but when I do I expect to be throwing it across the room at regular intervals.

But it could be part of the conspiracy!

It's not news, but it might be interesting that Brian is remembering this fact, this late in the day. How many times has this extended Heroes been mentioned in interviews? I know Mike referred to it back in 67, but since then which of the Boys has spoken of it? I'm not well versed in the Smile interviews over the years but I just wonder if Brian's choosing to remember this now could have something to do with his memory having been jogged recently, by perhaps, er, something that's on the set?! (Yes wishful thinking, but it's all we've got at the moment!)

It would be interesting to see the quote about the 7 minute Heroes in context. Desmondo, if you get a chance could you post the quote please?!

I'll keep on saying this until it takes root - that article was written at least two months ago, at which time he wouldn't have heard anything from the box. Not seen the article yet, but it's entirely possible that the original interview went:

Int: Brian is it true you did a seven minute version of "H&V" ?

BDW: Yeah.

The H&V quote is from another piece about BB post Smile in the same MOJO which includes quotes from BW. AJ and ML and VDP and goes like this

"It was supposed to outdo (GV) and be the new masterpiece," said Brian. "I did it extended for 7 minutes. The 3:36 version bore only a distant relation to the wild, rambling, rollercoaster rendition I'd once described as a muscial comedy, but I continued to believe the song was special."

That feels like a up to date interview

Also I will put money on us getting H&V without the LEAD vocal on the upcoming release

Now, does that sound to anyone here like Brian ? No - sounds more like something out of his pseudobiography.

You took the words right out of my fingertips!

More like:

Interviewer: Would you say that the 3:36 version bore only a distant relation to the wild, rambling, rollercoaster rendition you'd once described as a muscial comedy?

BW: Yes.

Interviewer: Did you continue to believe the song was special?

BW: Yes. Gershwin's people called us and asked us if we'd like to finish 101 so songs they sent us a tape. It was the biggest production of our lives.

OK, the Mojo 45 - "Cabin Essence" is as per 20/20 but in mono (mix ? fold-down ? no idea)... and "Wonderful" is as per the 1993 box.

Except.

The first set of bvs have an extra layer, the 'yodelling' bvs, at 0.53. otherwise, as per.

So I was 97% right.  

[Andrew G. Doe]

That Brian quote about "H&V" ?

Guess where it comes from ? 

[The Shift]

That single suddenly became an even-more essential purchase.

Many cheers!

Have you bought a copy at your local newsagent by the way or on eBay?

Actually, since you said we'd be getting the 20/20 "Cabinessence" and the GV box "Wonderful" (i.e., nothing new from the SMiLE box), and it SEEMS that we've gotten a new mono mix of "Cabinessence" and a new mix of "Wonderful" with additional backing vocals ... it looks like you were 100% WRONG.  

I kid, of course.

Go on then................

Page 168 of the pseudobiography... so the author of the full "story" thinks it's a credible source.

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm gonna have SUCH FUN with this !

[Iron Horse-Apples]

It is from '(Not) My Own Story' is'nt it? I knew I'd read that quote before. Ooh, if I was Tod Gold I'd be ringing Mike Love to see if he could recommend a good litigation lawyer!
