SPOILER!!- Heroes and Villains and Good Vibrations from TSS

[GeorgeFellInHisHorn]

This is actually not even a leak. It was put out by Capitol themselves.
So... It should be alright to post a link: http://www.mediafire.com/?z1ihxrro9wh5zv1

bump for those who are having trouble with the site

I'm creating Apple Lossless versions.... Oh gosh I can't wait for headphones...

How do you make a lossless file out of an mp3?

Encoding, it's magic

You're aware that it won't make ANY DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER in sound quality, right?  

Actually, you lessen the quality re-encoding from lossy mp3 to another format, whether lossy or lossless. So, best quality will be if you leave it at 320 mp3.

Heroes is majestic.

In fact, I'm considering driving down to KINK-fm tonight and demanding the DJ put it on the air, as an exclusive.

I've consulted the charts and this should be a good time.

Patience My friends, scrub that, clasclas has done it already

Did you guys get the artwork too?

Hi-Res SMiLE cover anyone? Earcandy will be wanting these. Multiple formats including Adobe Illustrator. Zoom in on those little SMiLES

How long before the nit-picking starts. I wouldn't be a SMiLE fanatic unless I thought there were a few things I would have done differently.

and we can make Tee shirts using the eps file.

Just noticed: no theremin on H&V this time! Which is fine with me, it seemed out of place with the whole Western thing.

Any chance someone could PM me the MOJO 45 mp3s so I can put all the new mixes on my ipod? This trickling out of new tracks reminds me of discovering smile for the first time and celebrating any time you found a new piece of the puzzle!

Consider it done, expect a PM in a few...

One minute left from the Mediafire link

Thank you, good people-1am here. Sometimes insomnia can be a good thing!

The awesome part at the end (that mirrors Brian's mirrored BWPS version), was that already booted, or was it part of a booted multitrack and they've stripped away the other stuff?  I think I've heard it before but I thought there was other stuff going on.  

That part resides in my collection only as part of a heavily edited session tape for Prelude to Fade. You never get a real good, unmolested, full picture of it, but you hear the descending strings against the french horn, only to have the talkback interrupt, etc. It has long been one of my favorite little "lost" bits. I even Frankensteined my own version of it (using the descending strings at the end of YAMS, pitch-adjusted) for my own homemade SMiLE. SO glad it's present in this mix.

Thank you greatly good sir. The smile you send out returns to you

Thoughts on Good Vibrations.  Love the edited PARTS but it seems like it's almost sacrilege to cut and paste those parts into the final version of the song. Always thought they belonged in the early version (w/Tony Asher lyrics) or in a GV sessions comp. The edits are very well done, and fit, but it seems like something that was part of a SMiLE mix tape compiled by a fan. I dunno - I have mixed reactions about creating something that wasn't intended for release.

ALL BETS ARE OFF, however, if Brian approved it or told Linett/Boyd that his original intention was to include those parts in the final release but had to trim it down or other reasons.

Didn't they do this edit thing before on the GV EP release of Good Vibrations a few years ago?

Again, have always loved those parts (except for the kazoo) and it's a very clear version of Good Vibrations!

Will always wish to hell that they find the vocal sessions......

[bossaroo]

so i wonder if this mix of Heroes came from an acetate or some other newly-discovered source?

i do miss the theremin. love the mandolins on the Cantina section. this new ending will take some getting used to.

wow. "new" Beach Boys music. what a day!

It's a newly compiled version based on the BWPS version, with, as you've heard, a slightly different end.

[Cliff1000uk]

That was amazing-thanks so much for the link!

Going to try and sleep and listen to them on the way into work tomorrow-I may be a bit on the late side getting in

Night all!!

[sidewinder572]

Any chance of sending me those MOJO mp3's too?

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Also: Sure, anyone else for MOJO?

[roll plymouth rock]

I love this!! Can't wait till that album is full of tracks in my iTunes

[Mikie]

Mixed feelings about Heroes. Cantina fits nicely. Vocals seem more spaced so you can hear different parts better. The mix is less muddled - crystal clear and clean! Again, the edits seem almost sacrilege (but they fit perfectly). Not sure about that new ending - agreed that it will take some getting use to....

Hope the "Three Score and Five" section has been cleaned up too and is in the box somewhere!

Those weird strings at the end underneath the flutter tone...when were those first booted? I’ve never heard that little bit before.

Also, i always assumed that Brian's verse vocals on this version, the softer delivery (as opposed to the more aggressive almost shouting takes) were from the Smiley sessions? He did these vocals during Smile sessions proper?

I've only ever heard the strings/fluttertone on the Project SMiLE iso

I love it, but I miss the Baldwin.

I don't think it was an omission for historical reasons, as most of this track is from the Smiley re-record. It is absent in the Hawthorne stereo mix as well, so it must have been dubbed on during the mono mixdown. Without it the lead in and out of the chorus sounds a little empty. Brian knew exactly what he was doing when he dubbed the Baldwin on. He was a master of dynamics.

It's a tiny gripe though. Personally I'd have got a surviving wrecking crew keyboardist to dub the Baldwin back on. We couldn't complain about that could we?

And I'd have dubbed the clarinet back onto Look. Its VINTAGE OK.

Yes...that would please me!

Sorry to hear this. I know you know I meant no offence

I know...I found it funny!

I'd love if you could send me a "PM"  of the Mojo songs. I have the vinyl, but no turntable.

Yes please!

[monicker]

I miss the Baldwin too. Exactly what Iron Horse Apples said about the chorus lead in and out. But it's there during the boys/girls part.

The cantina section sounds SO good, Mike sounds amazing.
