SIP Could Have Sold Much Better As Is
The Cincinnati Kid:
The live version of SIP on MIC is the first time I've really liked anything from that album. Other stuff on it is ok, but nothing from that album (aside from said live version) is in my library.

I have to strongly disagree; I was a DJ in Adult Contemporary radio in the summer of 1992. We gave Hot Fun in the Summertime considerable airplay and it peaked at 17 on the ACR Billboard chart. It was, by far, the most commercial track on SIP and a damned fine choice as a single. Island Fever and Lahaina Aloha were great songs, but in the vein of Still Cruisin' also a great track but, sadly, a failure on the charts (peaking at 93 on the Hot 100). Still Surfin' might have been a hit in 1976. Slow Summer Dancin' wouldn't have had a chance. As for Summer in Paradise, good song but they never quite got the arrangement right on that one until the 1993 live version and by then it was too late.
If you're going to go by the AC chart, though, Still Cruisin' was a big hit there, peaked at #5 or something.

As bad as Surfin' is on this album, has anyone else at all heard that they remixed (or were going to remix) Surfin' into "a dance song" in the late 90's/early 00's? I swear I did not dream this...Mike and Bruce played Reading Municipal Stadium in 2001 I believe and the local radio station, Y-102 (102.5) was promoting the show. They were playing some Beach Boys songs during the day, including Getcha Back which I hadn't heard on the radio in well over a decade at that point, and the DJ mentioned that they were going to play a "new" Beach Boys' song around 5PM that day and then clarified it and said that it was a dance remix of Surfin'. My initial reaction was "Please don't" but although I was morbidly curious, I wasn't around a radio around that time and missed it. I did make it to the show that night though. Has anyone else heard about this?
I've definitely heard about the idea, but this is the first I've heard of it airing. Did anyone here listen to this radio show?
Micha:
The EU mix of the song "Summer In Paradise" is probably my favorite Brianless BB track. I never got into "Kokomo", but I really like "Summer In Paradise" - and dislike the live version that several posters here are obviously fond of. That's the way it is, folks!
