Do You Like Worms alternate version query

[Stephen Newcombe]

Hi,

I've long wondered about an alternate version of DYLW that I have. It is on a CD called "SMiLE Bits and Peices." and dates back to the mid 90's
It is very bad quality, and the first 1/2 second is missing. It goes into a full wordless vocal version of the verse, and it sounds like Dennis going Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Baaa (not sheep noises)  and then into the Bicycle rider section, which has been completely  re-recorded, and has the melody sung as Aaaah. It then goes into the fade, which is a lot fuller than other versions. It builds up a lot more and has the Wa Hona Loo La lyric spoken over the top. It has an almost punk-like feel to the vocals. It is very scratchy like it came from a much played acetate, but also sounds like it may have rain sound fx on it. This may be the quality though

It sounds like it is complete apart from the lead vocals, a much fuller realised version

Can anyone tell me about this version?

I've just answered my own question, it's the Ant-Bee version. That's had me fooled for years.

Bit tricky to tell without actually hearing it, but might be the non-BB version recorded by Ant Bee that fooled a lot of people back in the day (your's truly included) - this one:

Yes, that's the one.

I'm quite disappointed, it's such a great version.

I love those dischordant 'Kini wa ka pula' backing vox.

Where's the version of Bicycle Rider that has Billy Hinsche on backing vocals?

This totally fooled me back in the day, it was on the first smile Bootleg I'd heard and i loved it (I still do), it was only until i hooked up here that I saw it wasn't Beach Boys, Happy days

Fooled me too at first.  It's a great version though, one of the better Smile covers out there.
