I'm a real thrift store junkie, and over the years I've found my fair share of Beach Boys related items.  I think this one, however, takes the cake for most unusual.  Here's a 4 track (not 8 track) cartridge of "The Many Moods of Murry Wilson".  The album is very difficult to find "in the wild" on vinyl, and I can only imagine how few of these are out there.

And in such nice condition too! ( looks nicer than mine for sure)
Now should you find the 4 track for Wild Honey, you'll have the only released version with the full title of the song " Good Lord, How She Boogalooed It"

Good find btw.

Oops.  ( very embarassed)
MUCH nicer than mine, because, as it turns out, I was confusing the Murry 4 track for another. I don't have the Murry tape.
Oh well, something to add to the want/wish list...

thanks to bgas (and thank you for sending it to me), here's the scan of (the back of) the Wild Honey 4-track. Very cool indeed!

I'm fairly sure that The Flame LP was released in quad.

I could very easily be wrong and a perusal of the Desper thread is really in order, but I believe while they were recorded to be in quad, the actual releases were only ever in stereo.

The Murray Wilson 8 track was probably played once and left on a shelf until they donated it to a thrift store 40 years later.

Two tracks on Sunflower - "Cool, Cool Water" & "It's About Time" - are mixed in quad, as are all of Surf's Up & Spring. CATP claims to be a quad mix, but in fact only the two Dennis tracks are: the rest is a sort of DuoPhonic quad and yes, it sounds as bad as you'd imagine. The Flame album is a quad mix as well.

That said, everything Steve Desper recorded & mixed for the band 1969-1971 (and 1979-1980) has an encoded matrix that gives an early form of surround sound.

4 track? I don't know, I am not that familiar. Looked like one of those old 8 tracks to me.

Were those the ones he rented in a bowling alley, put on, and walked out the door and right on home with?  Razz

4 track tapes are basically the predecessor to 8 track tapes.  They look very similar, yet sound noticeably better.

I already posted this in another thread, but my wife has tried checking with the hard-core collectors, to no avail, and this thread reminded me about this the other day.  Back in the 70's, I designed a poster for SUNN amp's, using a shot of The Boys where you could really see them using their amp's.  I even came up with a catch phrase that they used on the poster, "The Beach Boys get a little Sunn".  Anyone have a copy of that poster?  Somehow, I never kept one, and I'd love to just see it again...
