Could it be "Runaway Dancer"? The Yahoo interview of 4/7/2015 begins as follows:

“I take a lot longer to write a song now than I did when I was young,” says Brian Wilson, Beach Boy, musical icon, and current solo artist promoting his brand new album. “I take, like, you know—sometimes a month to write a song.”

If I'm remembering that section you're talking about, what makes the bgs cool is that in a progression that goes from B to A/B bass, Brian's top note goes UP from B to C# instead of from B down to A, which is what we'd expect since it's the root (despite the B bass).

I've always assumed that that C# was what Brian was alluding to when he said that the vocals could have done with more work but that there was no time. Something along those lines. To a self-critical perfectionist like BW that note may have sounded just a tiny bit flat. I wouldn't change it for the world. ;=)      

They put out an ep instead between Surfer Girl & Shut Down vol2 and it was just the five new tracks minus the rewrites and reissues: ballad of ol betsy, be true to your school, spirit of america, no-go showboat and custom machine?

I'm trying to imagine a life without "Cherry Cherry Coupe"... a bleak prospect indeed.    

Anyone know yet if the correct mixes are included this time around?

I sincerely hope so, particularly in the case of "Melt Away", whose original mix is said to be amazing...

^^The 'WANNABE' reading of John K's solution:^^

I:) Dennis/jesse (from Jesse & The Rippers - A John Stamos alias, being a wannabe-Dennis and Mike-sycophant?)
III:) "I'm" (myself, rs or anyone being the Brian/SMiLE-sycophant!)
IV:) 'Mel' (back to being M(e)L = Mike)
V:) 'E.J.' = Elton John (originally a wannabe-Brian? AND " 'Tad' Jennings" from the band 'Elton John' a wannabe-Elton?)

i like it, especially V:)!

Yes indeed. I remember reading these edits first time round. Thanks a bunch, Onkster.

I think he pushed the band to take noble risks that they would never make again.

I like that. I've never been a fan of C&TP but I'll be hearing it in a different light now.

Today I walked out of my gym session long before time. The music they were playing was this lame drum & bass version of the Korgis' "Everybody's Got To Learn Some Time" on repeat----just one track!----and it was driving me nuts. Apparently there was nothing they could (or would) do about it so I left. Assholes.

The pop world could do with more colourful characters like you, Jack. Rest in peace.

The first Star Wars film (okay, fourth in the trilogy…) and Heroes and Villains (okay, a version not released for decades) both have a cantina scene.

And on the strength of that, I think you deserve a birthday. Many happies, sir. :=)
