Title: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: warnakey on May 07, 2007, 12:57:31 PM I found an mp3 on a website that claims to be a "lost" smile track.
The page is http://www.surfinagain.com/smile_index.htm (http://www.surfinagain.com/smile_index.htm) - the mp3 is here http://www.surfinagain.com/grin.mp3 (http://www.surfinagain.com/grin.mp3) has anyone ever heard this, heard of it, know anything about it??? I think its a fake. Title: Re: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on May 07, 2007, 01:06:41 PM Uhh...

Title: Re: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: Ebb and Flow on May 07, 2007, 02:55:18 PM Sounds like a synth/midi rendition of "I Wanna Be Around" which was a Smile track, though it's hard to tell without vocals.
Fortunately, Brian's arrangement was a little bit better than that one. ;) Title: Re: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: warnakey on May 11, 2007, 02:54:43 PM it doesn't sound like synth or midi.
Although I could be bamboozled. And it doesn't have any real resemblance to I Want To Be Around. Oh well. I guess I could ask where the web site owner got it from. Title: Re: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: harveyw on June 05, 2007, 07:12:13 AM No midi, no synths. It's "Snowflakes On Laughing Gravy's Whiskers", the flip side of Laughing Gravy's (ie Dean Torrence's) version of Vegetables, released 1967.
And, for the record, it's absolutely marvellous. Title: Re: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: warnakey on June 06, 2007, 09:18:51 AM hey harvey, do you own that record? Is there any way we could be 100% positive of that?
Title: Re: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: MBE on June 06, 2007, 01:00:35 PM That is one of the few Jan and Dean (Laughing Gravy) records I still need.

Title: Re: GRIN.MP3????????? Post by: warnakey on June 06, 2007, 03:32:52 PM I researched it, and wrote my conclusion on my blog as a follow up to my original finding.
You can read it here http://warnakeysbeachboysblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/something-big.html (http://warnakeysbeachboysblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/something-big.html) The ironic thing about this grin.mp3 myth is the fact that it originated from a site titled "SuRFiN' AGAiN - The authorized International Jan & Dean website". In fact, I was able to get information about the song Snowflakes on Laughing Gravy's Whiskers from this very same site here. http://www.surfinagain.com/archives4.htm (http://www.surfinagain.com/archives4.htm) Therefore, the owner of the site knew very well what that track was, where it came from and that it was not a smile track. What a lying jerk! ::) Anyway, it seems like someone was just trying to throw some more wood into the figurative smile fire. Good tune though. ;) |
