Here's my go at it

That sounds really great!

[Cabinessenceking]

Official or not, this is well done.

ehm, not well done? this promo video stinks 


GV vocal fragments are great, especially the chorus part where the blend is split into their individual components. Surely using this mix and vocal extraction techniques a pretty solid stereo mix could be made!


terrei's mix is really good!

All I did was use kn0ck0ut plugin to crudely extract the vocals and then laid that on top of what was missing.

.... the Good Vibrations (Master Take with Partial Vocal) is probably the stand-out track on the set. There's even a hidden surprise at the end for the die-hard of the die-hards... 

So... I got my set on Friday, played the GV Partial Vocal track through, enjoyed that, let the disc play to the end, and thought 'ho hum, no extra content'. Just everything that was on the 1997 set seemed to still be there.

This morning, I caught up on posts here, and saw this. Thought "Oh! Perhaps I missed something after all!". Played the track again, but... I still can't hear anything extra.

I mean... the isolated vocals from the Here Today bridge, of Brian (?) chatting with a photographer about his flash, are there positioned right at the end of the disc, and so are the isolated vocals from the IJWMFTT chorus, so you can hear what those words are clearly... but they were on the 1997 set. I was thinking there was something new to 2016...?

Or did I STILL manage to miss something??

How's the CATP mono version?

Am I right to assume (before I go purchasing) the CATP mono version comes on the 2CD set?

[terrei]

1. It's clear that the CATP master is in poor condition
2. Besides spots of tape distortion and numerous pops/clicks, the only audible difference is the presence of much more low-end, like somebody turned an EQ knob as far as it could go

For everyone who understands german, here's an article about the release:


Fünfzig Jahre Glitzern

So weltfremd und funkelnd wie je: „Pet Sounds“, die Beach-Boys-Platte, die Paul McCartney zum Weinen brachte, erscheint zum fünfzigsten Jubiläum in einer reich mit Boni versehenen Ausgabe.

That's what I was talking about, only that I did not know that it was on the 1997 set. I thought it was new to 2016 and freaked out when I heard it in the car.

Another official clip. Location for the PS Shoot.

I like the part where they superimpose the 1966 BBs over the current footage of the photo shoot location.

[Rocker]

Very nice. Thanks for the link!

Yeah, I love these kind of now-and-then photos. Anybody got the picture (maybe a screenshot)?

[Pretty Funky]

Forget the screen shot.

Thank you!

Great job terrei on that GV stereo mix.  I love when Mike comes in with the backing track in glorious stereo behind him.  My only issue is the single Carl vocal in places from this new mix on the box which makes it a little uneven when the double tracked ones comes back.  But it's very impressive.  Great job!

[tpesky]

The live tracks do a great job showcasing Carl and Al over the years. Not a great Mike representation unfortunately . He makes a complete ass of himself on the 60s intro clips and he's too much in the 82 vocal mix.

I think the live stuff was a bit of a missed opportunity.  I love "God Only Knows" but I think just two live versions rather than four would have been enough and of all the versions they had to pick from, I don't know why they thought to include that '82 version.  "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" was played on the 2012 tour and was not on the official live album so that would have been a nice inclusion.  I've heard live audience recorded versions of "Don't Talk" and "I'm Waiting for the Day" from the 70s too but then again, there might not be any professional recordings of those performances in existence.  Also, the two versions of "Wouldn't It Be Nice" included are the abbreviated versions from the 60s without the "You know it seems the more we talk about it..." part.  They could have included one of the versions from the 80s and 90s when Carl sang lead so that the full version was represented.

Ta.  I guess I'll pick up a copy.

My guess is that they were simply given a *very small* budget for this new PS set. It's mostly rehash from the PS Sessions set, and the live tracks are, with one probable exception, all previously booted.

I'm guessing they didn't have a huge budget for a lot more searching and vetting of live tracks.

I'm wondering if even some of the Blu-ray audio mastering work had already been done for the apparently canceled standalone Blu-ray audio disc release that was on release scheduled in the last year or two or so.

Got my set today. The 1989 “Sloop” is amazing. We don’t get enough ’80s Brian in archival releases.

Agreed!

sounds great and really incomplete.  Enjoyable and then frustrating not having the rest of the parts there.

Maybe they are going to release a 100% true-stereo version in October for the 50th anniversary of GV...

Let's hope so. In the meantime, I'm throwing an old mix of mine from a few years ago out there: https://www.dropbox.com/s/a93nh01df7xdh7z/The%20Beach%20Boys%20-%20Good%20Vibrations.mp3?dl=0

To me, it's the closest to true stereo out there (better than the Derry Fitzgerald mix from the remaster, which was very impressive). Terrei's mix is very good too though. I should re-do mine with the new GV track, though I don't know if it'll make it any better because of the fake stereo doubling added to most of the vocals.

Wow Tom, I'm impressed! Vocal Isolations?

[JK]

Two great mixes there, terrei and TW. :=)
