Comment to Brother John --
I like the sound of the Andrew Sandoval and Dan Hersch 2000 release best -- over and above the first one I sat in on. ~swd
Stephen, which is the CD release of Sunflower that you like the best? I have two - the one that accompanies the Surf's Up release mentioned above, and a 'onefer' remastered by Joe Gastwirt and released in I think 1991. There is a difference in the sound of the two, notably in Brian's backgrounds in the breakdown of This Whole World, which seem to have a more pierceing treble to them on the Sandoval Hersch release. I also have an EMI Stateside Brother LP (SSLA 8251) though sadly I have no equpiment to listen to it on.
Thanks,
bj

I like the 2000 release over the 1991 release. I worked on the 1991 release. Sometimes someone else can improve on your own work. Like, don't proof read your own writing. I think also that that the A to D converters had greatly iimproved in the nine years between the two releases.
I'd say the authentic version is on Reprise Records LP # RS 6453 and if you can find a matrix number 31237 it will be one of the Artisan originals. (The matrix number is hand written on the land between the leadout groove.)
None of them sound complete unless heard through the matrix of 360Surround. Hope you have one. ~swd

Question for Brother John --
In your signature line you say, "Religion is a privilege, not a right." Wouldn't the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution make it the other way around? ~swd

I haven't read the 1st Amendment, so I can't comment. I'm English, so naturally don't subscribe to it. I didn't put the comment in to annoy or offend anyone, but it saddens me to see so much hate and mistrust in this world, much of which is based on interpretations of worthy religious texts of the past. There is a huge gap in understanding between the East and the West right now, and the voices riased the loudest in condeming other people's beliefs seem to come from those who use religion to defend their views. Martin Amis, our great English writer and novelist, once said (I paraphrase, but it was a short quote) 'Religion is fine in the home, but don't bring it out onto the street.' That I do subscribe to.

PS If anyone has an issue with this, please take it to the Sandbox. This is a thread for discussing the beautiful music of the Beach Boys.

Thanks for the Sunflower info Stephen.
I don't have a Matrix 360Surround. I've toyed with the idea, but have yet to make a commitment to buying one. Feel free to persuade me here, though! ;) Sunflower is one of my very favourite records, and I guess anything that will imprive the listening experieice would be worth having!

P.S. I have your book though (but I guess you know that! ::))
