Brian instrumentals '65

I'm compiling a mix with some of Brian's best compositions from around '65 when he had this special groovy early-psych sound. I think his best instrumentals were made around this year.
I'll be using SOT takes to make a good mix of each song. The beautiful sounds of The Wrecking Crew and Brian's sounds without vocals for once.
Let Him Run Wild
Trombone Dixie
In My Childhood
In The Back of My Mind
Run James, Run
I'm Waiting For The Day
Sandy
Let Go Of Your Ego
(early instrumental)
The Little Girl I Once Knew
(it's just a shame the full instrumental isn't available)
Let's Go Away For Awhile (And Then We'll Have World Peace)
Guess I'm Dumb
Here Today
Something like that. I don't wanna include too many Pet Sounds cuts, since I've already obsessed with them on the box set.
BTW, it's NOT going to be called Remember The Zoo, even though that's a pretty name.
Do you have any suggestions?

Or the backing track to 'And Your Dreams Come True'

I've always thought that "She Knows Me Too Well" has a groovy early-psych sound. "When I Grow Up To Be A Man" as well.*
*I'm not certain if both of these exist out there as just backing tracks.

I have a mix of the backing of When I Grow Up, the end has a tag of the guys singing the ages and I think, possibly Denny, shouts 69 at the end. I was told this was the mix that was prepared for inclusion on the Stack-O-Tracks album but wasn't included for some reason.

The GV Box Set has a binaural mix of When I Grow Up on Disc 5. Music is on the left channel and vocals on the right channel.

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen. ---hypehat

I know: people are always belittling two year olds with endless repetition as if they weren't able to form coherent intelligent arguments and cogent theories on their own.

It's cool but like "When I Grow Up", the backing tracks are more similar to their early stuff, and that's not the sound I want on this mix.

Nooooo-you can't replace Good To My Baby. I was listening to it today and it reminds me of Here Comes Your Man by The Pixies.

May just be the inclusion of the harpsichord, but I find the instrumental of 'When I Grow Up' to be very psychedelic.

That odd ascending/descending harmonica part (sounds like it's trying to replicate the sound of a breath) is pretty far-out as well.

Those harmonica bits are really oddly, but fantastically, placed. Like the drums in the coda of 'God Only Knows', Brian thinks of the most genius riffs.

What about "Summer Means New Love."
I've always thought of that one to be a follow up to the "Summer Place" theme. The piano parts are similar with the 9th voicings as well as assimilar melodies. Hmm.
Has BW or anyone ever officially commented on this song? The strings at the end are beautiful too. Very underrated.

I thought about including it, but it can't have too many songs. The strings, yeah. They're wonderful.
Have you listened to the Back of my Mind instrumental? The strings in the end are absolutely marvellous with that descending bassline.
