Question about Still A Mystery

[runnersdialzero]

My guess on the lead vox originally in question in this thread is: Bruce and Al.

I think it's Matt and Bruce. Al is really prominent on the "tell me your secrets" and related lines, though.

it's Matt and Carl singing the high lead in the choruses.

Thanks for the response, Alan!

Bingo.  I knew it was Matt, should have known Carl was the other voice..  Thanks, Alan.

Mind blown. It all makes sense now. Thanks.

Now if we just knew when the lead on the MIC version was done, we'd have world peace

Heh. Indeed.

You'll find out - soon enough. 

[Yorick]

Are they gonna release it as a single B/W Soul Searching?

Would this be what this line in the MIC booklet is referring to: 'online sessionography, liner notes and historical research: Craig Slowinski'

Alan, thanks for your work on this box set. I for one am enjoying it tremendously.

I am almost as excited to read the sessionography as I was to hear the box set.... Almost...

Yes.

Great news. When I first saw that little blurb in the booklet, I actually went online and did a Google search for "Beach Boys Sessionography Slowinski" -- thinking I was missing something. Of course, simply finding his previous essays.

Any time frame as to when this will be completed/available?

Alan Boyd, thanks for answering my original question in this thread. I am pleasantly surprised to hear that one of those voices is Carl. I really, really thought it sounded like Bruce. I didn't think Carl would be doing much falsetto singing by the mid-90s but it's really cool to hear that he did.

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us and for all your work on bringing us great unheard Beach Boys music.

[Wah Wah Wah Ooooo]

I'll be damned....now I can hear Carl in there....amazing.

This song, and a good recording of it, may be the absolute highlight of MIC. This song is as good as anything Brian and the boys created since SMiLE or at least 'Til I Die.

Brilliant.

So glad to see this thread exists. When I saw YSAM (havent been paying attention to MIC) I totally flipped. Now I have it on repeat....its happening again!

Great to see we have moderators that aren't even aware of Made In California.

'95 Brian was a cool singer:

Gotta say I prefer almost any post-98 Brian vocal to that. Painful (if spirited).

I actually think that's the best performance i've heard from Brian in a while, didn't know he could sing that song that good, maybe the coolest thing i've heard from Brian since the 80's era.

On the Paley songs, with a couple of exceptions, Brian sounds like someone trapped in a mental ward.

I desperately want to disagree, but that made me laugh too much!

  I can't think of ^any exceptions!

[dellydel]

I just fell in love with this song, it's so classy, not crassy, not 90s, Pet Sound-y, kinda fantastic all around.

Soooooo... is it ok to say that THIS IS THE BEST BEACH BOYS SONG OF THE 90s?!?!?!  I know it's not ALL 90s but pretty much?  God, I want an album from the mid 90s with songs like this.

[Wirestone]

So did everybody.
