It'll sound like Imagination, unless they bring in one of the names brought up in the past - Don Was, Sean O' Hagan, even Andy Paley. Or they could go with someone truly organic like Rick Rubin. Or maybe Jeff Lynne for that ELO/Wilburys-style fairy dust...

Rick Rubin definitely. I still love the Beastie Boys "License To Ill".
But........
Will it be "Donovan" mellow?
Or "Old People's Home" mellow?
I'm really hoping it's called either "Pleasure Island" or "F*cking With The Formula"
And unlike Summer In Paradise, I
will
be buying this album
(That last one's going out to DrBeachBoy)

Is that smiley because you're joking? No offence and each to their own but Jeff Lynne. I've still not forgiven him for what he did to the Beatles.

and Brian if you happen to read this (or his managment) please give the new cd a classic 60's wall of sound feel like "today" or "summer days/nights" and the more recent andy paley sessions and "just like you and me"..it doesn't have to be mono but at least bring back that classic sound.if Amy Winehouse can release cds with that wall of sound thing going on I can't see why you can't.
ok I needeed to get that off my chest...lol..

Is Jeff Lynne a significantly worse idea than Joe Thomas ? BTW, Imagination is quite an enjoyable album but it is very middle-of-the-road sounding...

I never listen to Imagination, solely because of the production. Don't mind ELO though
Regarding Joe Thomas though, a lot has happened since 1998. I think back then they were still unsure of how to market Brian, and what his fan base expected from him.
We've since had BWPS, LOS, and the Disneys. Hopefully now Joe will be respectful of what Brian and the BB's are all about

Haha. You're quite right and I couldn't agree more. I actually really like Imagination. It came out whilst i was really getting into the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson and I bought it whilst travelling the world, so it's got a special place in my heart. Love the songs on it but I probably let off the production a little because of the memories the album evoke. (I still can't forgive the Cameron Diaz line). The production, no the engineering, is a little cheesy. Some of those instruments even sound like they were played straight from a keyboard....

Well i liked the Imagination Lp + i didnt mind Joe Thomas updating BW sound.. What bothered me was Darian"s comments about Joe arraigning basterized versions of BB classics.. BB used to change things live on occasion.Rhonda for instance... But Joe didnt seem to hardly involve BW on these decisions.. i think Joe had to much control + BW gave in.. Without asserting his authority.. It took Darian"s complaints to right the ship..At least thats what i read.

Is this BBs project truly on? I read nothing about a BBs album on Brian's answers, only a ref to how they sounded on the new version of DIA. All other mentions of a BB project are simply the author's words. The only names mentioned in relation to the recordings are Foskett and Thomas. Brian even states that Foskett's doing backing vox. I remain optimistic but skeptical.

This is definitely something that crossed my mind. Joe was (and is, I'm sure) a huge BB fan, so I'm sure he's not sitting around trying to figure out how to screw up a Brian Wilson project. And Brian isn't the same guy he was in 96-98, either.

I wondered about this too, but thought it might be impolite to bring it up.
Also, on the subject of Joe Thomas:

Pick your poison (bad choice of words, I know) Jeff Lynne produced/co-wrote "Let It Shine" on "Brian Wilson". So what worked better for you? That track's sound or the "Imagination" album.
After hearing the new Micky Dolenz, "King for a Day" album produced by Jeff Foskett, I'd vote for Jeff.

I wonder why David isn't involved? If it's by his own choice then fine, if not, hasn't he been given the shaft enough already?
Last time I spoke to Dave, a few weeks ago, he was hoping to be involved, but still hadn't been "invited" to any sessions or meetings. Maybe the reunion will not recognize any of the material on the first four LP's and the surf/car era...right.
If Brian is working the "old Brian way" - doing the music first, he'll bring in the Boys later for vocals. Hope that includes David. And a David lead vocal would be awesome. And while he's at it, have Dave overdub a lead guitar on "Do it Again".

John & Wirestone --
Everything I asked Brian was SPECIFICALLY about "The Beach Boys reunion sessions" -- and stated that way prior to every question. We spoke a bit about his relationship with the other members -- this was all part of a conversation dealing SPECIFICALLY with the Beach Boys. I asked Brian nothing in regards to any solo sessions. It was 100% perfectly clear that we were talking about the Beach Boys 50th anniversary project.

Great reporting Howie! Frustrating that no one with access would ask Brian specifically about this. Mahalo!
ps - any mention of David being involved?

I mean, this is not just any CD booklet.
It's. The. Booklet. For. FREAKING. SMiLE.

Thanks very much.
But all the kudos really go to Boyd & Linett.
From what I gathered, certain members of the BB's have promised David that his presence WILL be part of the 50th anniversary.
Even if he wasn't already the most talented instrumentalist in the band (past and/or present) -- there's no way to be unhappy around David Marks.
For no other reason, he's sorely needed there.

I'm going to put my money down and say that Al would be the certain member (s). Would be interesting to know the dynamics of the working relationships between members for the project.

Would it be possible they may only record a limited number of really good new tracks and release them amongst a Beatles Anthology type set of releases. Say double sets from each era of differrent takes and demos with these new tracks.
Instead of 1 long tour that would just not work do a lesser number of excellent longer quality shows based around Smile and these sets.
Any thoughts to content of these possible sets?
