The Smiley Smile Message Board

On the Beach Boys 20/20 Album there is a song called Breakaway and on Made in California set why is an Alternate version of this song and what is the Difference between the 2 songs.

Listen to the two for differences and post back...

Why suggest a troll do anything sensible?

It was worth a shot :lol

C'mon guys...I'd assume Surfer doesn't have the boxed set. If I didn't have it, I'd likely have wondered what the differences were myself. We've all been new fans at one point.

I will do that!  

I have the Books the every CD's that they made and the 3 box sets including Made in California. Not to be rude but are you nuts

It's one of my favorite songs from my favorite time period of the band, so I definitely do suggest listening to it blind (er...deaf?), because part of the fun IMHO is discovering the differences yourself.


Not even close. I thought you were asking the question because you didn't have the boxed set. I was actually sticking up for you.

Wow.

Not sure of the whole story but since nobody is telling you.... what I've always heard is that the song was never fully mixed by Brian; and they recorded a ton of different parts for it, so different people have done different mixes of it over the years with and without different vocal parts.  Murray Wilson even sings on the song, apparently and was involved with some of the arranging in the chorus.

On the "Warmth of the Sun" cd that came out a few years ago, they have kind of the ultimate version of the song, Mark Linnett's mix with just about everything including the kitchen sink on it. 

I think the story goes something like this..

Mike's not available for some reason, but Murry is. So, they use Murray to sing the bass parts.

Yeah, Billy, not to be rude but........you're nuts!   Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!  ;D

Call me Payday :lol

But you couldn't be bothered to spend ten minutes of your day listening to both versions to find out what the difference is ? And - not to be rude - you wonder why we think you're not only a troll but also a considerable idiot ?

Not being rude, of course...

I also don't want to be rude

I think someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Now that's rude.  :-D

And of course.... We all know it wasn't on 20/20,.

HE GOTCHA THERE

Something you need to learn, sonny - not to be rude, but here, when we say track "X" wasn't on Album Q, we mean it wasn't on the original release, not an expanded archival reissue 21 years later. FYI, 1969 20/20 track listing:

Side 1:
Do It Again (B. Wislon/Love)
I Can Hear Music (Barry/Spector/Greenwich)
Bluebirds Over The Mountain (Hickey)
Be With Me (D. Wilson/Manson)
All I Want To Do (D. Wilson/Kalinich)
The Nearest Faraway Place (Johnston)

I Went To Sleep (B Wilson/C. Wilson)
Time To Get Alone (B. Wilson)

I wanna be rude.   I do, I really do.  

payday Billy sounds like a wrestler name... :lol

:lol

Self deleted

I don't have the MIC box, is this alt version the one from the Hawthorne CA 2-cd set? And is it different from the Warmth of the Sun CD? I don't have that cd either, so I wasn't sure.

eh? don't think this was the Surfer thread from earlier, guess it was deleted? no way that was his youtube account anyway

Billy moved it to the sandbox

yeah, its fake.

And what makes you draw that conclusion?

geez guy, chill out. ask woody, not me.

Why??  You're the one claiming fake; put up or SHUT UP

ah i gotcha. you met the dude personally?

And you have?

I'd prefer to believe and be wrong, rather than not believe and be wrong.

lol don't just say things.

no, it's real. we just found out in the sandbox. he introduced himself as 'surfer' in his video.

as you were..

I believe it's real. I am a fan of Surfer now. :-)

Say, Surfer, one of the things that made me defend you was that you weren't rude to other people. Don't make me change sides. You can ask silly question as you like, but don't start insulting people.




Which thread is that?

Wait a minute ... 

Wasn't it the Beach Boys themselves who said "Surfer Rules, Four Seasons you better believe it, Surfer Rules, Four Seasons you better believe it ..."

Don't be so obtuse

Excuse me, sorry to interrupt! But I was just wondering something. I am Georg Festrunk, and this is my brother Yortuk. We have a wash going in the next room, and we need some change for the dryer, can you help?  Wait! what are playing on Jukebox?  It is the Boys of the Beach singing Broke away!

All the same version with Brian singing lead.
