Back Home

[pixletwin]

No more impact the One After 909 would have impacted the Beatles if the original version had been released. Which is to say "not at all".

I prefer the demo version of 909 so...

But! The Back Home 1963 has a production style that wasn't used before in beach boys land...

I do too. It has more energy than the 1969 version. Still, I don't think it would have changed the Beatles legacy at all had it been released on, say, With the Beatles. That goes for Back Home. The only lasting impact it would have left on the BB legacy is an altered track list. That's it.

Had it been a hit, would that have led to more saxophone-driven songs? If so, I pass.

Pass as in, not a fan of sax driven songs?

I feel like Brian had plenty: Drive In, Salt Lake City, Here Today, Little Girl I Once Knew (well, that's more bass/organ driven isn't it?)

[Fall Breaks]

Yes, very much pass as in not liking sax-driven songs. Of course, there are exceptions that I like, especially Here Today and TLGIOK, and the bassier sax the better, but basically saxophones make my ears cringe.

I agree, or Brian's mix of sax's with other instrumental parts like on Kiss Me Baby is so good.
