Title: Are all the 'Smiley Smile.Wild Honey' bosnus tracks on other compliations? Post by: jsegovia on July 01, 2013, 02:37:44 PM Hi, folks. This is my first post. I'm a life-long BB fan but I really got into the group in the '90s when a good friend played me a bunch of post-surfer and car hits stuff by the group as well as his own personal 'Smile' mixes (some of which I still have and cherish!). I'm going back and trying to buy a lot of Smile-era stuff and I'd like to get either the 2012 remaster CD of 'Smiley Smile' or the old Smiley Smile/Wild Honey' two-fer. I'd much rather have the newer remaster with the stereo and mono versions but I don't know if I already have all the two-fer bonus tracks on the 'Good Vibrations' box set and the 'Smile Sessions' set (I have the 5-CD compilation). Can someone help me out?
And by the way, what's the board attitude on boots - OK to discuss or not OK? Thanks! Jesse Title: Re: Are all the 'Smiley Smile.Wild Honey' bosnus tracks on other compliations?

Oh, and welcome to the board! :) Title: Re: Are all the 'Smiley Smile.Wild Honey' bosnus tracks on other compliations?

The stereo version of Smiley Smile is fantastic and makes for a great listening experience.
Just go to youtube and listen to the twofer bonus tracks and see if they are anything that you must have. Title: Re: Are all the 'Smiley Smile.Wild Honey' bosnus tracks on other compliations?

I'm pretty sure all the rest is on there, but as far as "Can't Wait Too Long" and "Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring", I don't think those appear elsewhere in those versions. The version of "Can't Wait Too Long" on Smiley Smile/Wild Honey is over five minutes long whereas the version on the 1993 box set is less than four minutes long. And then "Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring", I don't think the 1967 version of that is available anywhere else. |
