Title: When was the Status Quo version of 'Fun, Fun, Fun' recorded? Post by: peerke on July 05, 2007, 11:42:42 AM The single and Status Quo's album were released in February 1996.
So when was that re-make recorded? Was it during the aborted sessions in Fall 1995, or was it before that or later? Title: Re: When was the Status Quo version of 'Fun, Fun, Fun' recorded? Post by: matt-zeus on July 05, 2007, 12:14:01 PM It never happened.............

In 1994 STATUS QUO met up with legendary American band THE BEACH BOYS when the two groups co-headlined 'THE FAREWELL PARTY' in Berlin - A massive open air show, attended by some 300,000 people, hosted by the Allied Forces of Great Britain, The USA and France to celebrate the withdrawal of troops from Berlin. The meeting led to the bands joining forces to record a new version of THE BEACH BOYS' Sixties classic 'FUN FUN FUN'. QUO recorded their parts in Surrey, England before sending the tapes to America where THE BEACH BOYS recorded their vocals in various studios and hotel rooms while on tour. The recording also marked the first occasion that BRIAN WILSON had joined the rest of the band on record in over 25 years. The track is included on QUO'S 30th anniversary album 'DON'T STOP' (released February 1996) which features QUO'S versions of classic contemporary hits originally recorded by other artists.

So Brian hadn't appeared on any Beach Boys record since about '67 or '68? That's going to cause some consternation over at the "Definitive Vocals" thread!
