Offically released songs ONLY on Brian Wilson offical website!

Those are the original demos.

I think one of these was released on CD - on a compilation for the Sydney festival that Brian played, from memory Jan 2008. I may be wrong.

You are correct sir - "MAD" was released on a promo for a Sydney music event, but you couldn't buy it. It came as a freebie if you bought a regular CD.

Thanks Andrew. I picked up 2 of these CDs without any payment - can't remember how. In any event that is an official CD release.

The OP seems to have been concerned as to whether these were available officially. Hard to get sure - but an official release.

So was the long and the short of all that that there has been no official release of the FYBMSG demo?

Seems such a sampler was a regular release every year

Thanks for reminding me of the track listing - just to be clear I meant I picked up 2 copies of the 2008 sampler.

Brian's cover of Carl's Heaven. I don't think it has been released anywhere else, but I could be wrong.

Yes, on a  ESQ CD.

"Heaven" was released (with the permission of Bri-Mel) on the bonus CD included with the Summer 2008 Dennis Wilson: ONLY WITH YOU issue.  The issue/CD are still in print and available from us:

It says on the web site that the cd's are not for sale?

[LeeDempsey]

That just means that the CDs are not commercially available for sale in stores.  They are free with the purchase of the corresponding issue of ESQ.  If you can add the issue to your cart from the website it's still available.

All of the ESQ issues that contained CDs are still available except for the April 2004 Dennis Wilson "One in a Million" issue which is sold out.
