The Smiley Smile Message Board

no, not posting pictures  :-D

If they were goin through the BB catalog, what album would you make "naked" like they did with Let it Be Naked?

First off, with my title, I could talk about the 85 album being naked...no Steve Levine production, which is prolly impossible, BUT, if you get the vinyl version, it sounds a little bit better than the cd.
I think 15 Big Ones would be better, I think the production is sloppy.
As for Love You, some of the mix sounds wierd to me, it could be taken down a notch.
PErhaps to hear a pet sounds naked? just the guys and piano? that'd be glorious

I remember seeing a naked for of Dennis for sale on eBay...  had to do a lot of scrolling to see the entire, um, thing.

Wow pumpkinhead, thanks for saving us from that uh.... fate  :o


I would love to see Smile redone on a smaller base with Pet Sounds. Just with a woodwind, piano, clarinet and a flute would be awesome.

fate?

Hmm Beach Boys 85 and Summer in Paradice would be a lot better accoustically. They do sound a bit warmer on vinyl (yes Summer In Paradice was released in Korea and Ausralia on vinyl), but they still need an overhaul. Love You may sound better without the vocalls actually at least on most tracks.

Tinkering with the vocals on Love You would be a sin....
I think Friends would sound pretty cool, as well as parts of Holland and 15 Big Ones...
listening to the piano demo of Don't Talk is pretty freaking cool....makes you wonder what the bare bones of any Brian Wilson song would sound like...

I think Wild Honey would sound great stripped down.  Just a guitar, bass, piano, and maybe an organ.

Oh wait.....  :)

Pet Sounds acoustic!

I would like to here "Fairy Tale" live/acoustic. I think it would've made a cool intermission kind of thing, definetly without the story though....

How about the Party album naked? It's a bit over produced anyhow.  ;D
