The Smiley Smile Message Board

I see it refered to much on the board...i'd love for someone to tell me...thanx

give someone the boot - to stop employing someone...?  to be forced to leave a job...?

i coulda sworn it was a website or something

It's the title of a Beach Boys boot. I don't have it so I honestly can't tell you much else.

The Beach Boys Get The Boot is a wonderful treasure trove of unreleased material, a goodly portion of which had never been booted at the time of its appearance in 2004. Came out around the same time as another Smile bootleg, Secret Smile.

i know it'll be hard to find, but could you post a track list so i can druel?

Hard to find? It was a bootleg that so shook up the powers that be that the distributor was issued a cease and desist. Shouldn't this be in the General On Topic Discussions forum?

You know, it's so hard to hold my tongue at times.

no dools, them's the rools
despite what fules learn in skule,
being crool's uncuel!

Why are the Beach Boys the most boot-paranoid of bands?  They even have managed to get the torrent sites to not host any of their stuff (including Brian Wilson solo).  The Stones allow trading and treeing on Shidobee.com and are on torrent sites, you can find Beatles and McCartney stuff at least on torrent sites (and until recently, links to download sites were being posted on McCartney's official site).  The Dead's position is well-known.  Who do the Boys think they are, anyways?  ::)

Only EasyTree removed all Beach Boys and related torrents. The other torrent sites still host them. EasyTree was the most popular, until it was hit with a potential lawsuit and forced into remission for a while (it has since come back as Dimeadozen.org).

The reason EasyTree removed all bit torrents featuring the Beach Boys or solo acts was because a certain "Honored Guest" went on there, said a bunch of things, and boom! They were all gone. Pfffft.

Maybe the Beach Boys should keep a closer watch on their archives.

Possibly because they have the most unreleased/unbooted material of any existing band? Just a theory.


I heard this at a friends house a while back.
The establishment probably got pi$$ed because disc #2 is almost entirely embarassing. I'd be miffed if someone booted my absolute worst material! I get loose stools just thinking about disc #2.

Perhaps this can be moved?


I've never seen GTB, but those tracks above would be the only reason I'd even consider getting them, because I've heard everything else. Does anybody have any info on these tracks?

I'd love to get ahold of this...I'll trade for it!  ...Oh, no.  If I were to talk like that on the Brianwilson.com board, I would be hounded like the dog I am/was.

I just want the song "Thank Him"

I'd never heard any of it until someone tried to sell an acetate of it on ebay and they played a 10 second clip of it. That's all I've ever heard....that fucking 10 second clip. I really really love that song. So I'd kill to get that boot just so I could have a complete version of "Thank Him." Maybe someone could put up an mp3 of it here, so I could "borrow" it?

Ehhh...might have to do that via pm's. Just like if I wanted (hint hint) those mp3s I mentioned, I'd have to check my pm box periodically (hint hint).

Otherwise, it'd violate the ToS.

You guys want it for Mona Kani and It's A New Day. Trust me.

Yeah, i'd like to hear those too.

If only...

i want it all! please, someone PM me, we'll work out something! I'll do anything for it!  :o

It's not THAT great. If you don't have the SOTs, get those first.

Already have them. In fact,
is pretty much everything I've yet to hear. Except, of course, those songs I've never heard *of*

Oh, and "Drip Drop"

having RUTH is worth it enough   ;)

Get it for Hard Times; especially if you don't usually like Blondie/Ricky material.

i think i try to like em...i knew when i said i liked "here she comes" i was lying to myself.
we got love/leaving this town/dont worry bill--mediocre

I love this set. Just when you think you won't get to hear anything else, this baby shows up.

May I say that I feel David Marks' Kokomo is a real surprise. I like it more than the original!

A real gem of a bootleg.

Why, oh why dont' they release a 70's Rarities set?

I agree about David's rendition of Kokomo. That's how that tune should have been done, as a reggae tune.

Look for a visit from some nice men in little white coats. Don't worry, they're very nice and you'll feel much better soon.

I think I prefer this version of Oh Darlin to the  released version.

Scratch...I KNOW I do.

This is a nice collection.  I don't understand why, with all of the nice unreleased stuff out there (its not ALL good but much of it is) that another Hawthorne isn't in the works.   The powers that be could make a little money and they have access to technology to clean up and enhance the material to it's optimal sound.   Put it in a nice package and most of BB crowd would go for it.


Right?

oh it would be nice, but I've not heard anything...everything seems to get abandoned all the time like beachboyscentral.com?
