Title: Best Brian Wilson various artists compilation?
Post by: MatchPoint on August 25, 2017, 03:53:36 AM
I wanted to get into Brian's penned or produced songs that were performed by other artists. I've notice a few of these compilations out there. Pet Projects (http://www.amazon.com/Pet-Projects-Brian-Wilson-Productions/dp/B000083LRM) and Here Today! (http://www.amazon.com/Here-Today-Songs-Brian-Wilson/dp/B00XAB4ZUM/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_15_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=7WV31GWAMN7PVT6YV5Z2) for example.

How do you guy's feel about these? Worth picking up? Are there any others?

I have Pet Projects and it's a great listen. These are genuine BW productions. Highly recommended.

Here Today! is composed of covers, many very good indeed but it's a different animal...

There is also The Big Beat 1963 which I think is available as an iTunes download only. It's got some interesting stuff on it, but as a compilation to listen to end to end I prefer Pet Projects.

Guess I'm Dumb by Glen Campbell on Pet Projects is one of must-haves for any Beach Boys fans.

It's almost a sin not to have a chance to listen to it.

Thanks all! Sounds like I'm getting Pet Projects.
