Carl Wilson singing "Wouldn't It Be Nice"

[MBE]

No it's Here Today and a pre 1990 copy isn't hard to find.

The original mixes are obviously the closest to the artists original conception, but the guys were not above remixing there own tracks when given the opportunity (Surf's Up, Cabinessence, various singles) so it's not a set in stone thing. Most of the remixes so far have been really well done (exceptions=H&V, CG, and YSBIM) and I'm really looking forward to hearing my all time favorite song (PLMW) in a non-muddy sort of way. But didn't this thread have something to do with Carl?

I dig Carl on London '69

Yeah, me too. I think that whole period, '68-72 was when Carl not only wrote a couple of good songs but also was at the peak of his singing. Actually, everyone was sort of at the peak of their singing! I even like Brian's new keening whine that he had in his falsetto.

[MBE]

I would agree with the 68-72 vocals being the best. Brian had a little more range, and Dennis really was singing beautifully. Even Mike could sound subtle then.

I was surprised when I found out that it was Mike singing on "Meant for You"... I always thought that was Brian. My respect for Mike went up a notch...
