   The story of The Beach Boys first release for Warner-Reprise is one that has undergone changes over the years before the diligent research of Brad Elliott finally nailed down the true facts. Concisely, the accepted view was that the original version of Sunflower (above) was submitted to Reprise, rejected, reworked and resubmitted as Add Some Music, rejected again, revised once more and finally accepted as the released Sunflower. In fact, the presumed first lineup was nothing more than one of two reference tapes of titles under consideration for the first Warner's album - doubtless its being pictured in David Leaf's Brian Wilson biography caused the confusion - and Add Some Music was the first album offered to Reprise, who rejected it for the perceived lack of a strong single.
 
    Almost all the tracks listed above not included on Sunflower have seen subsequent release, although not all in their original form. The version of  "Back Home" here is a completely different recording to the 15 Big Ones release (and also to the 1962 Wilson/Usher demo), Dennis' "Fallin' In Love" (nee "Lady") remains criminally unavailable since its original release on 45 in 1970 while "Take A Load Off Your Feet", "Susie Cincinnati", "Good Time", "When Girls Get Together", "I Just Got My Pay" and "Games Two Can Play" saw release on Surf's Up, 15 Big Ones, The Beach Boys Love You, Keepin' The Summer Alive and the 1993 box set respectively. "Carnival", a wordless vocal rendition of  the standard "When You Are In Love (It's The Loveliest Night Of the Year)", remains unreleased, as does "Walkin'", once thought to be an alternate title for "Take A Load Off Your Feet" but apparently a completely different song.

Glad to help Surfer!

Gosh, that was such a productive period for all the band members. And  in the end, they got the right group of songs together for what became the fantaastic "Sunflower".
