Title: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: slippingonthrough on February 21, 2014, 07:22:16 PM There's probably already a thread about this but I couldn't find one though so I thought I post about it.
On some of my two-fers I noticed they had some spelling errors. My Finds Sunflower/Surf's Up On Sunflower/Surf's Up the disc misspells Stereo as Stero. (http://i.imgur.com/gcIworl.jpg) Also in the booklet, the 1 before Don't go near the water is on the wrong line. (http://i.imgur.com/M63R0Om.jpg) Concert/Live In London And on Beach Boys Concert/Live In London the yellow sticker on the front misspells Length as Lenght. (http://i.imgur.com/bOclE9N.jpg) They do know that Live In London did not top the charts right? I'm sure there's more errors as I do not have all the the two-fers. If you find anymore errors, be sure to post them. More Errors found by Smiley Smilers: Little Deuce Coupe/All Summer Long I Get Around is listed under Little Deuce Coupe as confirmed by branaa09 Yeah I did always think that on the Back of the Two-fer cd, I Get Around being placed under the Little Deuce Coupe Album was odd! Today/Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) I realized that the two-fer Today/Summer Days spells "And Your Dream Comes True" as "And Your Dreams Comes True" on the back cover. It even misspells it in the booklet. Friends/ 20/20 On the Friends & 20/20 twofer, "When a Man Needs a Woman" is misspelled "When a Man Needs a Women" on the back, which just seems greedy. When I was upgrading to the 2001 two-fers they made the ultimate spelling error. My (USA) Friends 20/20 label on the disc says: Smiley Smile/Wild Honey Does everyone else have that misprint? . Not a spelling error, but nonetheless a huge mistake on the first 1990 2-fer issues was the mix up of page 4 and 21 in the booklets of the Friends-20/20 and Party-Stack-O-Tracks 2 fers. Which meant you started reading about the Party album in the Friends-20/20 booklet and vice versa. Page 21 wasn't too much of a problem as it showed general info on all then-current BB releases, but the layout colours obviously don't belong there. Btw, I'm talking about the UK pressings. Concert/Live In London I also noticed on the back Concert/Live In London they spell Sloop John B as Sloop John B. which really isn't a huge error but it is never usually spelled that way. Sunflower/Surf's Up This really isn't an error but more a WTF moment How about the technical description for either Sunflower or Surf's up, "This album was recorded on a Brother Multi-Track Recorder using long lasting Flash Light Batteries." Or something like that, what were they thinking? Look it if you don't believe me! 15 Big Ones/Love You The liner notes for 15 Big Ones/Love You misspells Dennis' name when it spells him out his name as the lead singer on Mona as B-R-I-A-N. Non Two-fers Greatest Hits Vol. 3: The Best of the Brother Years It's not on a twofer, and all my cds are packed away (still unpacking after a recent move) but I seem to remember that greatest hits vol. 3: best of the brother years misspelled three as "trhee" on the spine of the cd box Advertisments Two-fer switcheroo from a 1990 promo poster :o Shut Down Vol. 2 is also spelled as Shut Down(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/marcus1970/two-ferswitch.jpg) (http://s351.photobucket.com/user/marcus1970/media/two-ferswitch.jpg.html) Title: Re: Two-fer spelling errors Post by: alf wiedersehen on February 21, 2014, 07:27:35 PM On the Friends & 20/20 twofer, "When a Man Needs a Woman" is misspelled "When a Man Needs a Women" on the back, which just seems greedy.

At least they left the 'a' in. It could have been When a Man Needs Women.

Title: Re: Two-fer spelling errors Post by: slippingonthrough on February 21, 2014, 07:42:19 PM Maybe the person designing the back cover thought All Summer Long was the first track of the All Summer Long album.

What do they mean by a 30 position toy mixing console. Was it made by Fisher-price?Title: Re: Two-fer spelling errors Post by: pixletwin on February 21, 2014, 08:03:34 PM The liner notes for 15 Big Ones/Love You misspells Dennis' name when it spells him out his name as the lead singer on Mona as B-R-I-A-N.
Title: Re: Two-fer spelling errors Post by: metal flake paint on February 21, 2014, 08:08:35 PM Two-fer switcheroo from a 1990 promo poster :o
(http://i351.photobucket.com/albums/q476/marcus1970/two-ferswitch.jpg) (http://s351.photobucket.com/user/marcus1970/media/two-ferswitch.jpg.html) On a side note, it's a pity that the Capitol two-fer liner notes weren't updated in 2001. For example, the group (plus Hal) played on Carl's Big Chance, not a studio band including horns (it's actually an accordion). Title: Re: Two-fer spelling errors Post by: slippingonthrough on February 21, 2014, 08:13:15 PM The liner notes for 15 Big Ones/Love You misspells Dennis' name when it spells him out his name as the lead singer on Mona as B-R-I-A-N. It's not a huge spelling error. They got an I and N, they just need D, E, N and S.Two-fer switcheroo from a 1990 promo poster :o It's a pity that the Capitol two-fer liner notes weren't updated in 2001. Most glaring example: "Dance, Dance, Dance" (alternate take). "This early version offers a fascinating example of what Beach Boys records might have sounded like if the group had played on the tracks instead of studio musicians." Sigh ::) It also spells Shut Down Vol. 2 as just Shut Down. At least Vol. 1 is now available :-D Title: Re: Two-fer spelling errors Post by: metal flake paint on February 21, 2014, 08:23:08 PM It also spells Shut Down Vol. 2 as just Shut Down. At least Vol. 1 is now available :-D In 1990, the number of confused buyers who, after seeing these posters, didn't know whether Shut Down or Shut Down Vol. 2 was being paired with Surfer Girl, was inconceivable ;D Title: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: Eric Aniversario on February 22, 2014, 01:48:19 AM It's not on a twofer, and all my cds are packed away (still unpacking after a recent move) but I seem to remember that greatest hits vol. 3: best of the brother years misspelled three as "trhee" on the spine of the cd box

Does everyone else have that misprint? . My Surf's Up (2000 USA) booklet Does Not have the 1 misprint on the titles page. Mine is 1. Don't Go Near The Water Title: Re: Two-fer spelling errors Post by: Lowbacca on February 22, 2014, 05:37:44 AM On the Friends & 20/20 twofer, "When a Man Needs a Woman" is misspelled "When a Man Needs a Women" on the back, which just seems greedy. :lolTitle: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: Vegetable Man on February 22, 2014, 06:02:55 AM Not a spelling error, but if I remember correctly, the "Friends/20/20" booklet lists Carl as one of the singers on "Be Still", which always struck me as odd.

Title: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: Mikie on February 22, 2014, 11:08:07 AM The spelling errors in the 2-fers are nothing. It's the factual errors that make one do a double-take.

Title: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: smilethebeachboysloveyou on February 22, 2014, 01:19:37 PM The spelling errors in the 2-fers are nothing. It's the factual errors that make one do a double-take. The first one of those that comes to mind is on the 15 Big Ones/Love You two-fer when Peter Buck writes that the only Beach Boy audible on "Mona" is Brian, even though it's clearly Dennis doing the lead vocal. I appreciate Buck's giddy admiration of the album, but I'm surprised that he couldn't tell and didn't bother to check.

Does he not notice the harmony vocals at the end of every line? Title: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: slippingonthrough on February 22, 2014, 01:34:01 PM I updated the Main post to include more errors

These rock stars need to check their facts! Title: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: Moon Dawg on February 22, 2014, 02:23:38 PM The spelling errors in the 2-fers are nothing.

Title: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: metal flake paint on February 22, 2014, 03:41:15 PM Just as I suspected, this ad which appeared in the June 1990 edition of Pulse! perpetuates the Shut Down/Shut Down Vol. 2 confusion :o

Btw, I'm talking about the UK pressings.

Now that's a mistake. Title: Re: Two-fer Spelling Errors Post by: slippingonthrough on February 28, 2014, 02:26:01 PM I just realized that the two-fer Today/Summer Days spells "And Your Dream Comes True" as "And Your Dreams Comes True" on the back cover. It even misspells it in the booklet.
