Title: Best of the Brother Years 2000 comp: US vs UK version Post by: Eric Aniversario on November 22, 2014, 12:56:41 PM I recently bought the UK version. I'm astonished at how much better it sounds than the US version. Am I just imagining this? Til I die, surf's up, Marcella, all sound much clearer. The fade on Marcella seems a little longer....I heard a line I've never heard before "doo be do be do" at the end. I'm not at home to A-B it, but I will check it out tonight.

Now if I could just find the UK single mix of Lady Lynda... I didn't realize that Sumahama was the single mix. Is it also the single mix on the Platinum Collection? Can't say I know the difference.Title: Re: Best of the Brother Years 2000 comp: US vs UK version Post by: Rocker on November 22, 2014, 02:45:19 PM One of the best Beach Boys compilations! And what a beautiful art work. All around perfect (maybe they could've added a Dennis song).
I have the UK version as it seems. I really love the record and it's still the only album I have with single versions of "California saga", "Rock'n'Roll music", "It's ok", "Here comes the night" and "Sumahama" (thanks Steve Latshaw for the "Sumahama"-info! I didn't realize that before). Is "Susie Cincinnati" also really the single mix? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_Hits_Volume_Three:_Best_of_the_Brother_Years_1970%E2%80%931986 Title: Re: Best of the Brother Years 2000 comp: US vs UK version Post by: Eric Aniversario on November 22, 2014, 11:03:51 PM I listened to it again...sounds like the album version to me? Unless I'm missing something.

Unless I'm missing something. Probably. But what are the differences between the single and the album version? Something very obvious? Title: Re: Best of the Brother Years 2000 comp: US vs UK version Post by: gxios on November 23, 2014, 05:19:46 AM Sumahama - 45 versus lp. The difference is at the end fade. LP mix has "suma...hama" background vocals over and over, 45 just has "ooh" harmonies. I do not have a UK 45, that's just the difference on the US 45.
