Mr. Desper -- This isn't an attempt to get you to criticize anyone else's work, but is there a Beach Boys or Brian Wilson song that you didn't work on, but really wish you had? This might be for technical reasons, such as that you thought you could've gotten a different sound that particularly appeals to you, or for a more sentimental one, such as that you just love a particular song or record. Maybe you think some song deserved better or different treatment than it got. And, if so, how might you have approached it?
I'd have to say that I enjoy the work of other engineers just as you do. ~swd
the captain:
Fair enough. Thanks for answering my question.

Stephen - a quick question for you about Sweet Mountain from the Spring LP - I love this song and the very weird and wonderful production. It's credited to Brian and David Sandler - do you know who wrote what? Also, who - other than Brian and the girls - is doing the vocals at the end? Is it all Brian? There are times when I think I can hear Mike Love doing bass vocals and other times I think it's Brian. Many thanks for your time (and a big thank you for your great work on all those great records!)

Can you elaborate on the reasons for wiping not-to-be-used songs? I assume one was economical in that the Beach Boys wanted to record over older tapes instead of buying new tapes.
