"Surfin' Safari" - 1962 Ariola Single (no, it's not the version on 'Lost & Found')
"It's A Beautiful Day" on single b/w "Sumahama", October 1979

I am sure it´s the "attempt at overdubbing", i.e. track 20 on "Lost And Found" , stereo on CD, mono on the ARIOLA single of course . 

Thanks. I read that the guitar solo is different, but apparently not...


Dennis Wilson, solo:

"Sound Of Free/Lady" single (December 1970)

"It's A Beautiful Day" is on "Ten Years Of Harmony"

2 versions exist:
the album mix (from the Americathon-soundtrack LP, OOP)
the US 45-mix (shorter edit), also OOP

And yes, one of those appeared on 10 Years Of Harmony...but that Epic cd-release is long OOP... and I quote:

Just some remarks:

> this album did have a cd-release (but probably withdrawn by now).

> not to disappoint you, but there are more versions floating around, albeit DJ-versions, see below...

> the ‘regular’ Rarities release had a brief Japanese cd-release but is long OOP as well. So one could name all those tracks too (With A Little Help From My Friends, extended version of I Was Made To Love Her, etc)

> and don’t forget the R&R to the Resque instrumental mix, the Percadella mix, a vocal mix, and I think there was a 4th one…
Btw, GV live is from Live In London...

> again: another (longer) edit exists, both on promo (with both versions) as on a picture-disc.

> and don’t forget the 3rd version: the radio-edit!! (hm, probably promo only, doesn't count)


And further...not that I want to discourage you...but there are more...
- Bluebirds Over The Mountain (Dutch mix). It is available on Rarities and The Dutch Singles Collection, but both are OOP now
- Never Learn Not To Love (single edit, without the intro)
- Susie Cincinnati (1970, b-side Add Some Music, first mix, different from 15BO)
- Cool Cool Water (45-edit, could be on a recent compilation though, not sure about that)
- Cuddle Up (45-edit, different from the LP)
- California Saga – California (again: not sure if it’s on a recent compilation, could very well be)
- Honkin’ Down The Highway (wrong edit, released on first Epic 1990 cd-release of Love You)
- Hey Little Tomboy (the longer 45-edit)
- Come Go With Me (wrong edit, released on first Epic 1990 cd-release of MIU)
- Winds Of Change (wrong edit, released on first Epic 1990 cd-release of MIU)
- Peggy Sue (wrong edit, released on first Epic 1990 cd-release of MIU)
- Lady Lynda (US 45-edit)
- Here Comes The Night DJ Reservice short version 3:25: b-side to the long single version 4:28 (ZS8 9026) (yeah I know...promo)
- Here Comes The Night DJ Reservice 12'' single short vocal version 6:44 (Caribou AA-AF 2Z8 9028, with as b-side the regular album version) (again...promo)
- Sumahama (Waves-mix (to be found on a Japanese only sampler LP: Tropical Sounds (CBS Sony YAPC 133))
- Here Comes The Night - vocal version (10:41)
- It’s A Beautiful Day – album version (on the Americathon soundtrack LP)
- It’s A Beautiful Day – 45 edit. Could be on a recent comp, but I’m not sure. Btw, it’s b-side, Sumahama, is a 45-edit. Although not mentioned, this version can be found on the compilation cd "The Brother Years (1970-86)"
- Living With A Heartache (shorter US 45-edit)
- School Days (45-edit, on promo-45 only, but also on the official but OOP Ten Years Of Harmony 2CD)
- Somewhere Near Japan radio edit (but that's a promo cd-single version)

As for solo-work
Dennis:
- Sound Of Free (45-release); Lady did have a rare cd-release not that long ago, but I forgot which V/A-comp that was...
- Pacific Ocean Blue (long OOP)

Carl:
- both solo-albums are long OOP
- several 45-edits (I think shorter edits of Heaven, Hurry Love and Hold Me exist)

Bruce:
- Pipeline (45-edit)

Mike / Celebration:
- Looking Back With Love (LP)
- Celebration Almost Summer (soundtrack LP)
- Celebration: 2nd album
- Disco Celebration (LP; although opinions differ on whether it even got an official release, but I know several people who have a copy)

Blondie Chaplin:
- Gimme More Rock ‘N’ Roll (45-edit)
- And is his first solo-album still available on CD?

And at least interesting...
 The Flame:
- Another Day Like Heaven (shorter 45-edit)

Thanks for that!

I see withdrawn and OOP as two different things. Withdrawn means it was pulled back for a specific reason, OOP means it just sold out and wasn't reprinted. So OOP is still 'officially released'.

Respectively...

Different mix, not edit...
Was on the Best Of The Brother Years (GH3) comp...
Almost totally different recording...
Rough mix...
Rough mix...
Never officially released, although pressed...

mike did a version of stagger lee on the 1983 hitbound release "new memories" by the association

The Warmth Of The Sun Comp. download bonus tracks:

Best Buy: "409" live in Chicago, 1965
Target: "Fun, Fun, Fun" live in Sacramento, 1964

Livin' Doll? Wow, I've never heard of that song. Was that a brand new BW solo single or just a collaboration/cover version?

thank you! Any idea how many of those Disco Celbrations were pressed at all?

"Livin' Doll" was "released" as a flexi single as part of the California Dream Barbie package in the late 80s. Same song as "Christine", with different lyrics. The flexi credits The BB, but it's Brian.

However many, it was too many. Sucks.

What about the live Runaway?

does that '86 sunkist lp count? runaway was on it wasn't it? (been too many years for me to recall)

Only place you can (legally) find it.  8)

I didn't include that because it was released on a Beach Boys album...

Well, so were songs like What'd I Say or the Rarities stuff.  To me, "withdrawn" is a total subset of "OOP".

There's a MONO mix of Susie Cincinatti released on the promo Add Some Music single, which is different from the stereo mix on the regular single.

Oh, and a mono mix of Little Bird, Bside.

Of course there are mono mixes of entire albums (Surfin' USA, Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coupe, Shut Down Vol 2, and Concert) that are OOP with the exception of the singles on Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2.

Is "Susie Cincinatti" on the "Child Of Winter" single the 1970 single mix ?

I may have missed it but Brian Wilson solo:

He Couldn't Get His Poor Old Body To Move
South American (a cappella)
Being With The One You Love

I'm not sure if these have been released on an album or not but as far as I know they haven't?

Both on the re-issue of BW's s/t album.

I think these can be found on the re-release of BW's first solo-album (with bonustracks)

EDIT: oops, shelter just beat me on that...  ;D

Brian's done a soundtrack album ? When ? Which movie ??   ::)

Self-titled albums are often indicated with the abbreviation "s/t", as far as I know.

Yep, s/t = self titled.

Oh, and by the way: I Just Wasn't Made For These Times was a soundtrack album...  ;D

I believe the Dutch single mix is in mono while the Rarities version has the basic track and the overdubs on seperate channels?

Another addition:

Kokomo (Spanish) on Dutch/German 7" of California Dreamin', 1989 (or 1990?) re-issue.

Utterly insignificant, but there's some odd remix of the Stamos-ized "Forever" floating out there that got distributed to radio stations.  Some girl I knew in high school that worked as a DJ had a copy.  I don't know if it was a promo copy, or what.

Maybe it was one of the versions from Full House. I remember that in Full House, John Stamos's character was trying to break through with his version of "Forever", and that there was an episode where a record company tried to push him into another musical direction and that they made him record a faster, disco-ish version of "Forever". I'm guessing that that girl probably got a hold of that version somehow.

Don't know if it was a promo, but I think there's an Australian (?) cd-single floating around (sometimes on Ebay) with 3 versions: the regular one, the ac-mix and the chr-mix.

There are all from 1985.

The shows used on this album are DC 7/4/84 ("USSR" & "Surfer Girl") and Philadelphia 7/4/85 ("Come Go..." & "Barbara-f******-Ann"). I think.

Oh, I meant 1984 of course.
