From AGD's site:

"Reunited under the aegis of Don Was, Brian and The Beach Boys start cutting tracks for a
proposed reunion album, but after two songs have been roughed out, the project collapses
during a backing vocal session for "Dancin' The Night Away" when Carl walks out."

Is there any more info on these sessions ie. other tracks worked on?
Thanks!

Ah... wrote that some time ago, need to revise it.

Carl actually walked out of the November 1995 sessions with Don. "Dancin'..." and another track possibly called "Grace Of My Heart" were recorded March 3rd 1995 at Mark Linett's studio.

The November Oceanway sessions were as follows:

7 - session: Must Be A Miracle/Soul Searchin'/Turn On Your Love Light*/It's Not Easy Being Me/You're Still A Mystery
8 - session: Must Be A Miracle/Soul Searchin'/Turn On Your Love Light*/It's Not Easy Being Me/You're Still A Mystery
16 - session: Soul Searchin' [vocals]
17 - session: Soul Searchin' [vocals]

(* - no, I don't know either...)

Sales are tough, though. I recall at the time that one of the issues with BWPS sales was that Nonesuch didn't print as many copies as they could have sold the first couple of weeks -- and after that point, the initial demand was gone.

I would be interested to know -- for both GIOMH and BWPS -- how many copes were actually pressed.
