SIP Could Have Sold Much Better As Is

You know how Republicans and Libertarians always go on about the free market finding it's way and blah blah blah letting the market decide, as if it's some sentient force that inherently seeks out products of good value and dismisses shoddy tho well-marketed tripe?
Yeah, that. I'm gonna go full Mitt Romney on this and say all 100 of those singles are better than SIP. The market decided! Lo!
So get out your seats and jump around...
Jump around! Jump around! Jump around!
Jump up, jump up and get down....
do you really not understand that the free market is just people voluntarily doing business (trading) with each other without an agency of force (the state) getting in the way?
Its not a thing in itself, but the combined actions of individuals.
i imagine nearly your entire life is spent in the free market, unless you ask the state to intervene when deciding what album to purchase or who to date...
maybe i just dont get your hilarious joke?

So I've heard the UK SIP album version of "Summer In Paradise" which is an improvement over that of the US version. What other changes were made to the UK version of the album and were they positive changes?

I guess Boardwalk would have been a good single. Hot fun was definitely not the right one. I met Mike in 1993 in Germany, Hotel Parkschloesschen, where he was guest (for free), an ayurveda hotel that just had opened (5 stars today !). I ran the German fanclub "California Saga" then. We talked for about 2-3 hours and had lunch there, he, his wife Jackie, a friend of mine and me. He seemed to be not really satisfied with the album and the promotion in Germany was a desaster. On the same evening McCartney was live in "Wetten dass" (a very prominent TV show then), and Mike didnīt know about it at all. He should have been there as well ! Instead of that he was in a 3rd class afternoon show the next day and was only asked about the old days. He struggled to keep the CD once briefly in the camera.
I know only one person who likes the CD.

Wasn't it sent out as a single - or a promo? I know they were pushing it in a German concert (Lorelei) I've got.

I can't speak for Europe but in the U.S. Hot Fun was a genuine A.C. hit.

plop on 3 or 4 Brian Wilson songs (in an alt universe) which 3 or 4 would you have on it? from the early 90's..
1. water builds up (in place of slow summer nights and take it off and put it as a B-side or something)
2. Smart Girls (in place of surfin' and take off Summer of love completely) if they are going to do a rap type song then at least have this since it's at least creative.
3. the spirit of rock n roll (in place of walking in the sand)
4. Do you have any regrets (in place of Still surfin)
take off "under the boardwalk" (make it a B-side to the second single) keep "hot fun in the summertime" but move "Lahaina Aloha" as the opening track..keep "Forever" as the closing track..you'll lose a song making the tracklist one track shorter but who cares..
