Title: The Lowdown
Post by: brother john on September 15, 2011, 10:47:27 AM
Hmm, this is new. Anyone know anything about it? I'm guessing its a hatchet job designed to cash in on the latest releases, but would love to be proved wrong:

Great shirt! They should produce an edition. If folded nicely it would probably fit in the box set! ;D

Decent pic of BW, anybody know roughly what year that was taken? I'll guess '68, 69? Bet I'm wrong lol.

Looks a bit like the Brian Wilson during the Hawaii 1967 gigs.

1967 hawaii the wondrous unique psychedelia of the beach boys, wherein brothers brian & dennis on lsd decide to forgo conventional playing of the instruments favoring an altered style some might call melting rhythms, entering the higher dimensions, can't hit snare on........time. ah.

GIMME A TICKET FOR AN AIRPLANE
I AINT GOT TIME TO CATCH A FAST TRAIN
LONELY DAYS ARE GONE IMMA COMING HOME
MY BABY SHE WROTE ME A LETTER

cool intro, sounds demonic at first. the beach boys rock hard in this weird funky sparse way, it's refreshing actually compared to other bands. they really became an acid rock and roll band after the brothers Will all took it, probably together a bunch of times. someone called Smiley Smile 'zen rock' once, and i always thought that was cool.

That's all very well, but does anyone know about the contents of the cd?

Hm. The information is exactly the same as at amazon. Just wondered if anyone had heard it or could recommend it. No worries.
