Title: Everything I Need Post by: Amy B. on June 02, 2007, 07:13:41 AM I've only ever heard the Brian/Carnie/Wendy version and the CM Parkes version, but I've never really loved this song. I questioned whether, if the song had different treatment, I would have liked it more.
I read an interview with Carol Kaye (not always the msot reliable source), who said that she and some of the other 60s players played on the 1996 (?) Brian/Carnie/Wendy version and that Brian was in charge and created a really terrific, vintage BW track. And then, according to Carol, someone planted doubt in Brian's head and told him it should be more contemporary, and they added a whole bunch of other instruments and sounds, effectively ruining what Brian had captured. Does anyone know anything about this? Title: Re: Everything I Need Post by: Andrew G. Doe on June 02, 2007, 07:53:25 AM Two words - Joe Thomas.
The members of the 'crew' who played on the original session were: Hal Blaine - drums Carol Kaye - bass Frank Marocco - accordion Tommy Morgan - harmonica Jay Migliori - sax I've heard the original non-Thomased, track, and I have to say, it sounds decidedly underdeveloped. Jeff Foskett's version uses this track, and also the girl's & Brian's scratch vocals. Title: Re: Everything I Need Post by: c-man on June 02, 2007, 10:52:50 AM Two words - Joe Thomas.

Jeff's version features Darian S. and an interpolation of the original "Sandy/Sherry/Whoever the hell She Needs Me" backing track riff, as well as a few lines sung by a decidedly out-of-it-Brian. The leaked version of the original EIN track has none of those things.
Title: Re: Everything I Need Post by: HeyJude on June 02, 2007, 09:29:38 PM I hadn't heard Foskett's version before, but I just listened to a 30-second clip of it on Amazon, and apart from the Brian vocal part, it didn't sound like the original/rough version that floats around with Brian sharing the lead vocal with Carnie and Wendy. I suppose Foskett could have used the original backing track as a starting point, but on that clip that I heard, Foskett's version sounded as different from the original as the Thomas-produced version on "The Wilsons."
But I readily admit that I'm going off of a mediocre-sounding 30-second clip, so I only have so much detail to compare.

I have the whole song and while I couldn't verify if this is the original version, it does indeed sound a little rough around the edges. It definitely sounds more like something Brian Wilson would do. |
