How does this only have 900 some views? This is a masterpiece.

That first track was one of my most played Beach Boys tunes for a while. I don't know, it's nuts, but I think Brian was onto something with obsessing over this tune.

Indeed. I believe these renditions/variations of Shortenin' Bread are among the best things Brian has done 1970s onwards.

Alan said on Discord Q&A that there are couple more unheard Shortenin' Bread jams from 1974/5 - hope they will be released soon.

Maybe it is just me, but the riff in the chorus of “A Thing or Two” off the Wild Honey album sounds like a play on the Shortenin’ Bread riff.

This is AMAZING.

But is this fake? Was there actually a 1977 German 12"?
