Title: MIU - the lost double album Post by: matt-zeus on June 10, 2006, 01:42:57 AM Being a big fan of the MIU album, I was wondering about its earler incarnations as 'Ne album' and 'California Feeling' and realised that theres loads of good late 70s (post loveyou/adultchild) outtkaes that might have made it even better, which share the warm production of MIU (unlike the cold hard production of LA which I hate) . Off the top of my head:
Go and get that girl Hows a little bit of your sweet lovin Do Ya (if it had been a BB song) Its like heaven (ditto) Almost summer California FEelin Santa ana winds Our team Winter Symphony I reckon a few moe to this and you would have had the great late 70s BB double album (which is what LoveYou/AdultChild should have been as well. Can anyone think of some more songs?

But maybe a more solid single album!
This is what I would've done. 15 Big Ones had 15 songs, Love You had 14, then MIU dipped to only 12 songs. So, the first thing I would do is make MIU 15 songs long. Next thing would be to eliminate the two weakest songs, IMO "Hey Little Tomboy" and "Kona Coast". Then I would insert the stronger "It's Like Heaven", "California Feelin", "Santa Ana Winds", "Our Team", and "Winter Symphony". Now doesn't that look like a much stronger album? The Beach Boys can be very perplexing, but their song selection for albums has to be the most perplexing...
