Hey folks.  Just posted a March 2024 upgrade to my 1967 SMiLE Mix, and my BWPS Mix, for those that are interested (for listening pleasure, or simply gutting it to use in your own mixes)...

I think of interest for you folks...
- complete stereo mix of the Cantina version of H&V.  Particularly the verses (which otherwise only existed in the mono acetate source), in which the bass and vocal is centered, the backing vocals panned right, and the rest is panned to the left.  And yes, as some observed in my previous Hitsville Mix, the "tape Epxlosion" part is in stereo too!  ;)
- complete stereo mix of "Wonderful"!  Brian's vocal centered, bass centered, harpsichord panned left, backing vocals right.  imo crystal clear. 
- complete stereo rebuild of Mark Linnet's 1993 "Vege-Tables" mix, otherwise only in mono.  This was also on my Hitsville Mix. 
- new stereo mix of "I'm in Shape Shape", with a new sync of Brian's vocal and the backing track.  Two separate iterations of it, the 67 version (with Brian singing along with the instruments) and the BWPS (with sound elements being added as the song progresses, and the tape explosion happening like four bars later iirc)
- new stereo mix of "Barnyard".  Really tried to get this one expansive and cohesive; it's not perfect, but I think it's pretty good.  New sync of Brian's vocal, centered with the bass, isolated backing vocals panned right, drums, guitar and animal noises panned to the left. 

Also, for those folks who think the BWPS sequence is the sequence of SMiLE, then for this I really tried to match it as close as possible as an all-Beach Boys version of that version of SMiLE. 

Nice work Jesse. (as usual)

Thanks for sharing.  :3d

Thank you so much, this is fantastic
