Title: Surf's Up (alt version) Post by: Boiled Egg on October 12, 2007, 06:39:01 AM i've come across something called Surf's Up (Alt Version), apparently recorded in 1972. it's got a carl lead vocal throughout, a different piano take, some extra overdubs (possibly strings - the version i've got has particularly clanky sound quality - certainly another trumpet, some sax and what sounds like tack piano) and a faster part three with fewer vocals but drums and a dodgy sax.
and here's the thing: why would the BBs re-record Surf's Up, especially after the released version had gone out? is it a live version with no audience? can anyone join the dots?

The lack of audience noise has caused a lot of folk to think it's an alternate studio take.

I wonder if one of them's Brad Elliott, who wrote in his book that the Boys recorded an alternate studio version of the song in Holland in '72. |
