Question about "Surf's Up" (the song)
Bicyclerider:
Hmm, why would you need a boot recording of Surf's Up 1st movement - the instrumental track with horns is on the fifth disc of the Good Vibrations box set.
SurfRiderHawaii:
Oh goodness, I did not know that. Thanks BR!!!!!!
I have never heard people talk much about the instrumental track and why Brian never went back to it. Though it has been said that it reminded Brian of the 'Fire' track. Plus that the vocal version(s) are so amazing. I have also wondered why Brian didin't include this instrumental section/1st movement on BWPS.
Anyway, thanks again Bicyclerider! Now I'm going to edit in the 1st movment into the 1971 release and make my own version.

is the cello a double bass logging mistake? sure as eggs is (are) eggs, there's no cello on surf's up...
No, Jimmy Bond (the string/upright/double bass) is listed on the Nov. 4 basic track session, and Joe Saxon (cello) is listed on the Nov. 7 overdub session (along with the trumpet and French horn players).
this is bizarre. apart from there being no audible cello on the finished track, it seems mighty odd to bring a cellist to this session, which is all the George Fell Into His French Horn stuff. there's no sign of a cello on any of the slew of silly tapes from that session. c-man, if you've got a copy of the AFM sheet for this date, is there any other info on it (like was Saxon dismissed early/stayed late/doubling)?
on the subject of session sheets, an AFM APB: has anyone got the listings for who's playing on the 'sixteen musicians' session from jan 23 1967? the two sessions from this day are the missing bit of the surf's up puzzle: the first one with the drums, bass, two guitars, trumpet and three (probably) saxes - no sign of any of that in what's out there in bootland - and the 'sixteen musicians (mostly strings)' - also missing from bootland.

On the 11/4 session, Jimmy Bond is almost certainly playing a string bass.
On the 11/7 session, I'm looking... and no listing for Joe Saxon.

The AFM sheet I've got only lists 10 musicians (well, 8 really) - it's for the 3.00-6.00pm session.
