Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: SMiLE Brian on January 20, 2012, 05:12:34 PM I want a vinyl record with that cover released with the Lei'd in Hawaii music.
Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: Curtis Leon on January 20, 2012, 07:22:30 PM I want a bootleg with a potential 1972 SMiLE with that cover.

I Just Realized how much I love Lifehouse. Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: Emdeeh on January 20, 2012, 09:03:21 PM Nicely done, Jon!

Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: Aegir on January 21, 2012, 01:05:36 AM I am so glad Smile wasn't released with that cover, even if it meant the world having to wait another 39 years.

Yeah, Carl and Mike both have a weird evil Rasputin thing going on. Al has that goofy "I just smoked pot for the very first time" look. ;DTitle: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: The Heartical Don on January 21, 2012, 01:55:59 AM I am so glad Smile wasn't released with that cover, even if it meant the world having to wait another 39 years. I love it - it is a perfect encapsulation of what Smile could and would have 'looked like' in the early '70s. For me, it's not a matter of what I would appreciate anno 2012; it is what things were in 1972, and as such it is spot on.

Just the one nit to pick: Lei'd In Hawaii would have been on Brother, not Capitol. Brother 9002, to be entirely anal about it. ;D Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on January 21, 2012, 08:08:38 AM (http://i41.tinypic.com/13zn3uo.png)

Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: Magic Transistor Radio on January 21, 2012, 09:43:22 AM So we have no idea what the '72 SMiLE running order would've been?
Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: hypehat on January 21, 2012, 09:47:43 AM So we have no idea what the '72 SMiLE running order would've been? Apparently no effort was made to sequence the thing - it seems Carl and Stephen Desper were stumped by it, and understandably so. Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: PongHit on January 21, 2012, 10:41:55 AM The SMILE cover reminds me of this, also from 1972: (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZEdPfPph5rY/TG2dEfRNe5I/AAAAAAAABHU/GH_hYx7WvVg/s1600/Past.jpg) Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: PongHit on January 21, 2012, 10:55:24 AM Al has that goofy "I just smoked pot for the very first time" look. Doesn't Al look like Tom Petty? Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: Zach95 on January 21, 2012, 03:09:55 PM On that bottom picture for the Hawaii Alternate cover album, the one with the guys with all of their shirts off...Carl just looks so fat. So does Brian. Mike and Dennis look pretty good, and obviously Dennis. But sheesh, the other two Wilsons were struggling...

Definitely several people within the LA Scene suddenly thought that burgundy looked cool.

Definitely several people within the LA Scene suddenly thought that burgundy looked cool. I was thinking Deja Vu too. That look was the in thing in the early 70s. Title: Re: Alternate Universe Beach Boys album covers Post by: 37!ws on January 26, 2012, 10:14:05 AM That Lei'd In Hawaii mockup will undoubtedly be a bootleg CD cover. Same thing happened with Bruce Spizer's Hollywood Bowl Beatles mock-up, which he based partly on Something New and partly on Beach Boys Concert; a former Capitol employee said what he came up with is probably EXACTLY what Capitol would have done!
