Title: Newer Sloop John B, Wouldn't It Be Nice recordings
Post by: spgass on September 17, 2018, 03:00:34 PM
Hi, new to the forum here.  Recently I was watching a couple videos on Youtube with Brian Wilson and Al Jardine recording Sloop John B and Wouldn't It Be Nice at Capitol Studios in 2016:

My question is were these versions released on an album?  If so, which one?

Thanks a lot,
Steve

Welcome Steve! I'm pretty sure those were just one offs, not released any where else besides youtube. I could be wrong though

Though an EP for sale on the tour would be nice.... ;)

I may be totally wrong on this but didn't Brian, Al and band re-record the complete Pet Sounds album for the 50th anniversary for iTunes or some other company and these two performances were part of that?

Looking back through some threads and it was apparently for Spotify according to a band members FB account. Nothing was ever confirmed or announced I believe.

Thanks for the info - hopefully they will be included on a release someday.  I especially like the endings (no fade-outs) on those tracks.

My recollection is they did perform the entire Pet Sounds album in those sessions and it was to be released.

Sadly, I believe the accusations against Scott Bennett put the kibosh on that, since it was roughly around the same time both went down.

Or my 42-year-old memory is mixing things up again.
