Brian's 1975 recording of "In the Back of My Mind" is being released...

As the thread title states, Brian's 1975 recording of "In the Back of My Mind" is being released...

This is kinda huge news. At least for me. Confirmed by Ray Lawlor.

Apparently it will be available on the Japanese version of No Pier Pressure. No word on a US release. But with the internet if any of us around the world want a copy of this version, it should be easy to acquire.

Anyways, supposedly this recording of "In the Back of My Mind" is a very interesting link between Brian's earlier, sweeter, voice and his later '70s, gruffer voice.

And personally, it is the number one unreleased Brian Wilson recording that I am interested in hearing. Along with the entire new album of course. So this is great, great news.

Wow! I didn't even know he'd recorded one in 1975. Good news indeed!

Great news, but why not stick these on the US/Euro/AU versions as well?

Had to double check that the date today is not April 1st 

[John Manning]

Wonder what treats the Best Buy Exclusive and Amazon Exclusive and iTunes Exclusive will offer? Maybe the complete Adult Child and Landlocked and New albums?

It's generally cheaper for Japanese buyers to import albums from other countries.  The sole reason for Japan-exclusive bonus tracks is to give them incentive to buy their domestic pressings.

What's the Love and Mercy on there?

Thanks, AvanTodd!

So as a result, we're all going to buy Japanese editions and forgo our own regional domestic editions; in the heady pursuit of juicy bonus tracks

I don't know if this is a factor as well, but due to the prevalence of CD rental stores here, very few people actually buy CDs, it seems.  Unless they're specifically trying to push their favorite band's newest release to the top of the charts.

It looks like the Deluxe Edition sold in Canada and New Zealand will include the tracks as well.  Same press release that's on Brian's site, it appears, with ITBOMM and L&M added to the Deluxe Edition tracklisting.

Maybe the deluxe version everywhere will have it, after all.  Calling something a deluxe version for having three tracks in the middle is a little bit knobby.  This, an 18 track version including an old, unheard and unbooted track, looks rather better.

Hell yeah!!!!

Great news but isn't it kinda odd to put a '75 Beach Boys (I guess) recording onto a 2015 Brian Wilson soloalbum? Even if just as a bonus

I think it's just a solo demo.  Kind of like how Still I Dream of It was on the I Just Wasn't Made for These Times soundtrack.

I could swear that when "Love & Mercy" was first announced someone on here made a joke about them including an unreleased BW recording such as "In the Back of My Mind" on the soundtrack.

Oooh, that would be cool!

[Jesse Reiswig]

This is fantastic news. I didn't think we'd get this one so quickly!

[Wrightfan]

Looks like I will have to buy the import. Once again, the U.S. (with its crap economy) offers an inferior version of a product

So what's the newest gem that's still locked up now?

sweetdudejim called it with this post about the "Love and Mercy" soundtrack all the way back from last January.

Now anyways, after that, it's possibe, depending on licensing, that maybe you could end up with some other artists stuff. Maybe some Crystals, Ronettes, Beatles, possibly some Four Freshman even. Lastly, my biggest hope is that they decide to share previously unreleased older material, maybe like the piano and vocal version of "In the Back of My Mind" from 1975. I think something like that would be possible.
