Title: "Sunflower" as a 2-LP Post by: TheLazenby on November 16, 2014, 10:12:09 AM I've been thinking recently.... given the overload of material (three scrapped track-lists and a couple other circulating leftovers to boot), what if "Sunflower" was expanded from a measly 12 tracks to a mighty 31?
I've started putting this together for myself - the track order is essentially arranged in chronological order according to when the track was completed - and so far it's not too shabby. :-) SIDE ONE 01) The Lord's Prayer [mono with one channel delayed, since the uncirculated Sunflower-era mix was Duophonic] 02) San Miguel 03) Got To Know The Woman 04) Celebrate The News 05) Loop De Loop 06) Forever 07) All I Wanna Do 08) Deirdre SIDE TWO 01) Break Away 02) I'm Going Your Way (California Slide) 03) Cotton Fields [45 version] 04) Slip On Through 05) Walkin' 06) Games Two Can Play 07) When Girls Get Together 08) Soulful Old Man Sunshine SIDE THREE 01) At My Window 02) This Whole World 03) Where Is She? 04) I Just Got My Pay 05) Good Time 06) Carnival 07) Our Sweet Love 08) Fallin' In Love (Lady) SIDE FOUR 01) Tears In The Morning 02) Back Home 03) Take A Load Off Your Feet 04) Add Some Music To Your Day 05) Susie Cincinnati 06) It's About Time 07) Cool, Cool Water Now THAT, to me, is a powerhouse Beach Boys album. :) Title: Re: \ Post by: phirnis on November 16, 2014, 10:33:05 AM Makes you realize how good they were at the time, lots of top-notch material.
I've never been a big fan of double albums and I think part of what made the BB great was their talent for 'keeping it short' even at a time when bands would release stuff like Tales from Topographic Oceans (which is an album I actually really like, just the absolute opposite of the much more elegant stuff by the BB). I just wish they would have released one or even two more full albums in the early 70s. Title: Re: \ Post by: Cabinessenceking on November 16, 2014, 12:08:26 PM Basically an album with everything single song from the period? Should we include Brian's "I dont wanna sing it" as an intro to Walkin?
Loop de Loop followed by Forever? Even disco HCTN followed by Baby Blue cannot match that in terms of sheer bizarrity ;D Title: Re: \ Post by: TheLazenby on November 16, 2014, 04:48:20 PM LOL, yep - I did leave Brian's comment (as well as the later "f***, I can't sing this bitch!")... why not? :)
