Brian's vocal on California Saga Single

[Rocker]

Hrm, what are the packaging differences between those and the corrected releases?

I've never seen a proper Beach Boys album in a store sans Pet Sounds and That's Why God Made The Radio. I look every time, but I never see anything beyond those. Looking online, I'd imagine most of the time I'd be buying it from someone who knows they have something special, and it'd be a gamble for obvious reasons.

I'm fairly certain the only single CD releases in the U.S, at least of the '70s albums, were from this Caribou series. They're numbered ZK 46950 (Sunflower) through ZK 46957 (MIU) and odd man out LA numbered ZK 35752. Front cover looks normal with "DIGITALLY REMASTERED" across the bottom and the backs have a gray, sand-like background with track lists, production credits and logos for Caribou, Epic and Brother across the bottom.

Like this, right ?




Thanks for the answers regarding "School days". Now that you're saying I believe I heard that mix some time

[Alan Smith]

Hey I hope a lot of you do listen to the vinyl Ten Years Of Harmony, it is one of the best sounding releases ever on the Beach Boys.

Hey, I totally agree, it's classic- possibly my 3rd ever BB purchase; and I played it so much, whenever I now listen to an original album I expect the next song to be as per Ten Years sequence, eg, Roller Skating Child followed by Disney Girls (as opposed to Mona), or Long Promised Road preceded by River Song

And the only way to hear San Miguel on vinyl!

[Rocker]

While we're at it: how about the single mix of "Susie Cincinnati" ? I don't think I've heard that yet

If he only goes to chain stores like FYE, I think that's about right....

Which one ? There are two.

In that case: both ! I only heard the version on 15 Big ones/Best of Brother years

The mix on the Brother Years CD is one of the Single mixes.

Really, there are just mono and stereo mixes of the song which are fairly different. The mono is on the Add Some Music promo 45 and Child Of Winter stock 45. I hear no difference between the stereo mix on the Add Some Music stock 45 and 15 Big Ones, tho those releases are generally identified as two different mixes.

There is definitely a difference between the stereo versions on 15 Big Ones & The Brother Years. You can hear it from the very beginning, as the harmonica is much higher in the mix and the background vocals a wee bit lower on the mix on the Brother Years.

Yeah, now that I A/B them, I can hear that. Admittedly, I don't have the sharpest ears for finding mix differences that aren't "in your face". The mono mix has more radical differences, such as more car sound effects, from the intro on.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

I've never heard the mono mix.

OK, Andrew has SC listed as released as a single 3 times. First, as B side to Add Some Music in 1970, second as the B side to Child Of Winter in 1974 and finally as an A side 1976. The Brother Years  has it as track 2, but we know now that it is the incorrect single mix to be the 1970 release. So, were there actually 3 single mixes, or were the 74 and 76 single releases the same mix?

The flipside of Child Of Winter is definitely the mono mix. Also features on the Warners Loss Leaders comp Appetizers.

[I. Spaceman]

I do wonder if the 1976 single issue features the original stereo single mix or the album mix.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Album mix.

[I. Spaceman]

Album mix.

Thanks, sir!

[drbeachboy]

Was Susie in stereo on the standard release of Add Some Music or was it the same as the Promo?

"ASMTYD" promo was same song on both sides, mono/stereo.

"ASMTYD" B side - 3.04
"COW" B side - 3.04
A side - 2.55

[I. Spaceman]

Not all of them, though. This features the SC mono mix.

Also, the stereo single version on The Brother Years ends at 2:55 even though it states 2:58.

[Amanda Hart]

Like this, right ?

Yes, like that. I picked up MIU when I described them, and it has the logos on the bottom, but some are on the side too.

Alholio - I'm not sure how to describe the Winds of Change mix other than being rougher. Like it's missing any vocal sweetening or post-production. And no, I did not get POB that day. I actually saw that one for the first time like last month in the used section of FYE in a suburban mall, of all places. I didn't buy it, but this thread makes me want to now. I bet it's still there, a sane person probably wouldn't buy the old single CD version when for only like $3 more they could get the legacy edition, which they had multiple copies of. Guess I'll be making a trip to the mall this weekend...

Nop. Chain stores, indie stores, any stores, new or used, that's it.

It is getting pretty bad.  When I started at my book/music store, we carried PS, several Greatest Hits, a good handful of the twofers and Hawthorne and Endless Harmony.  We had the Singles box set, too, when that came out.  Now, I think we only have TWGMTR.  People just aren't buying CDs in stores.  Unless you're lucky enough to have something like an Amoeba.

[Camus]

Are any of the officially released mixes of SC the same as the one on the comp reel commonly bootlegged as Landlocked?
