"The Wich Stand"

What's the deal with this unreleased track? Was it recycled into another song? Was it recorded in 1964, or '66? Why was it given to The Survivors, & why was their version rejected?

"Wich Stand" (spelled
Whitch
on the AFM sheet) was recorded on August 5, 1963 at Gold Star Studios, along with "Girlie" and "Hot Harp" (featuring Maureen Love).
The finished master was submitted to Jim Economides at Capitol Records who declined to release it.

Allegedly, his reasoning was that it sounded too much like The Beach Boys.

And "Pamela Jean" didn't?

Supposedly Wich Stand is one of the better non Beach Boys BW productions/songs. The master is still in the Capitol vaults, isn't it?

So, there was only The Survivor's version recorded? There was never a BBoys recording of it?

Wow, I bet Brian ate in there morning, noon and night! He probably wanted to hold his wedding reception there.

Excerpt:
Would the Brian Wilson component have changed the path for Googie? Take for example the song “Fun, Fun, Fun”. This song not only told another story the car-culture lifestyle, but more importantly immortalized the Thunderbird brand for generations. With the words Wich Stand prominently in the lyrics, would the song have also immortalized Googie architecture? Would Googie have become mainstream? What direction would this design style have taken? I would love to think that the song would have lengthened the life of Googie style and even expanded it into areas I can only imagine. I suppose I’m visualizing an alternate future but a plausible one, but only with the help of Brian Wilson.
