Previously undocumented BW Production and co-write

[Peter Reum]

I was looking through Youtube this evening and came across Don Goldberg's Channel. He has a set of 3 tunes from 1970-72 on there, one of which is an undocumented Brian Wilson Production, with BB involvement, and one which is a BW co-write. Tandyn Almer, Ricky Fataar, David Sandler, Carl Wilson all play on various tunes, and Stephen Desper was the engineer. Out in the Country....link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwvD_E-s2iE      Fading Love Song link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34KwL9RFSCI    Sweet and Bitter link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7nqaz99_ms     I think these recordings have legitimate BW & other BBs involvement.

Peter: These have come up before on the board ... IIRC the consensus was that there was some original BB involvement but that the tracks have been been dramatically redubbed / altered in the years since the original recordings. But a fascinating glimpse into the unknown!

Thanks! I think the guy said he had added things. It'd be interesting to hear them unvarnished....

I was very surprised to not see even one of those songs on the MIC set. I thought for sure Capitol would have contacted the guy who uploaded them to make some kind of deal for them to be included on the set.

Suspect though that they'd be outside the remit of the "career retrospective". Otherwise there'd be a million and one collaborations that would need shoehorning in, with the likes of the Four Seasons, Little Richard, Elton John, Chicago, Julio Iglaesias… you'd fill a box set with that stuff an leave no room for, erm, Barbara Ann…

I also wonder if, when MiC was announced, hundreds of artists who've careers have touched on the BBs went through their archives to dig out  their old tapes of such studio encounters. If they presented them to the compilers for consideration only to have them rejected, is that why some stuff has now reached YouTube instead? Are they considering a separate release, and this is the teaser/trailer?
