Brian Wilson Sessions Question

[JDShadow]

Are there any tracks from Brian's 1988 album sessions floating around out there, especially the ones from Rio Grande.

I know there is one bonus track in the re-issue, but are there others?

Thanks

Lets Do It Again was certainly meant to be on it (just reading a 1988 interview from Contrast magazine which has Brian running through the songs on what was then the forthcoming LP and that was on it). Don't think I've heard that myself anywhere.

There's a Walkin' The Line mix which heavily features Terence Trent D'Arby's harmony vocals. That's on Surfin' Rarities vol. 6, among other places.

More like are there NOT any tracks from Brian's 1988 album sessions floating around. Demos, live versions, alternate versions, session fragments, promo mixes, single mixes.

"Let's Do It Again" is on The Wilson Project  bootleg. Pity they didn't include it on BW 88.

Agreed. And it's a pity they didn't include "He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body To Move" on the album. Did whoever was making the decisions for the final track list have an aversion to rock and roll, or were they trying TOO hard to make Brian appear as a "serious artist"?

Oh my god, Ian, I had manage to repress my memories of that steaming pile of merda until you triggered them with your post.  Horrible.  Singularly Horrible.  "Talkin' 'bout American Girls" horrible.
