Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread!

In the new beach boys book it talks about Dennis doing the bass vocals in wouldn't it be nice with his mouth cupped into his hands. I can't really hear it on the track. Can anyone else?
I didn’t realize it until about a month ago that it was him doing that. I do believe it is him, the bass vocal during the second verse is definitely more of a Dennis vocal than Mike.
Bedroom Tapes:
Anyone know more about Spring's "Funky Fever" outtake and where it might be lurking? Thanks all.
Gosh Darn Highway:
Slowly making my way through the new "Beach Boys By The Beach Boys" book. Two questions that have come up for me so far:
1. On page 64, a photo of a tape box dated 4/14/62 shows track 1 being "Bye Baby Bye" with Audree's name (misspelled) next to it--I presume she sang this? There's no reference to the tape box photo in the captions on the page, but is this a known track to many of you? I'm not sure I've ever come across any reference of it.
2. On page 105, there's a selection of photos of "Fun Fun Fun" single picture sleeves from Japan, Sweden, and the USA. However, the USA one is stated to be the "West Coast" picture sleeve...I presume this is a typo and simply meant to state the US as the source. I've never seen any other photo for the American issue of this single, nor am I aware of any major (or minor, for that matter) artists of the day releasing regionally-different picture sleeves. But there's a first for everything so I'm curious about the reasoning for calling it a "West Coast" picture sleeve if it's not simply an error on the writing/editing side of the book.
Rebel:
On Take a Load off your feet, the song starts with a muffled and muted drone buried in the mix. I feel this is more prominent on the recent box set. It almost sounds like a horn but I suspect it is some kind of key instrument. Does anyone know what that instrument is? It doesn't sound like it's playing a chord, just one note at a time.
Rebel:
Do we know any of the random assortment of instruments everyone was using on the heroes and villains "back of tricks" snippet on the boxset?
