Title: "Get The Boot" track confusion... Post by: TheLazenby on January 30, 2010, 12:21:02 PM I'm trying to reconstruct the original version of "Sun Flower" using Get The Boot (the only source for two of the tracks, from what I can tell)... but I'm confused, because the track list on the cover seems to be wrong.
The tracklist on the cover is: 10) Back Home (demo version) 11) Back Home (Sunflower outtake) 12) Walkin' (Sunflower outtake) The thing is though, track 10 is a whole different song, track 11 is a demo of Back Home, and track 12 is a finished version of Back Home. Where the hell is "Walkin'" at? (Track 13 is "It's A New Day", just as the cover says.) Is there any other source for the apparently nonexistent "Walkin'"? I need that for the Sun Flower disc! Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G. Doe on January 30, 2010, 12:44:36 PM If track 10 has someone saying "I don't wanna sing this ******* thing" (or something like that) - that's "Walkin'". ;D
Title: Re: \ Post by: TheLazenby on January 30, 2010, 01:10:07 PM Oh, okay! Yes, track 10 starts with Brian saying "I don't want to sing."
Title: Re: \ Post by: runnersdialzero on January 30, 2010, 04:27:19 PM Is the piano "demo" of "Back Home" from the Sunflower period, as well? I know it was originally recorded much earlier, I think for the "Surfer Girl" album, so I wasn't sure.
Interesting that the final 15 Big Ones version sounds a lot closer to the older Surfer Girl take and not the later Sunflower take. Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G.

The first recording was 6/14/63, at Gold Star: same session as the basic track for "Run-Around Lover". Might have been Brian's first session there.

Like H&V, Brian did the version most people know but Al was born to sing it.

I know it's wrong to judge from unfinished tracks, but they just seem... I dunno, inconsequential.
Title: Re: \ Post by: Bicyclerider on February 01, 2010, 09:55:21 AM If you're trying to reconstruct the "original" sunflower - i.e. Add some Music - then Back Home and Walkin' should not be on it - they were never in the track listings, just on a comp reel for consideration for the album.
Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 01, 2010, 11:15:41 AM The 'original' tracklisting for Add Some Music was as follows:
Side 1 Susie Cincinnati Good Time Our Sweet Love Tears In The Morning (original mix) When Girls Get Together (track) Slip On Through Side 2 Add Some Music To Your Day Take A Load Off Your Feet This Whole World I Just Got My Pay At My Window Fallin' In Love |
