Title: The Most Oddball BB Related Find I've Made So Far... Post by: Shane on July 17, 2010, 12:42:21 AM I'm a real thrift store junkie, and over the years I've found my fair share of Beach Boys related items. I think this one, however, takes the cake for most unusual. Here's a 4 track (not 8 track) cartridge of "The Many Moods of Murry Wilson". The album is very difficult to find "in the wild" on vinyl, and I can only imagine how few of these are out there.

Now should you find the 4 track for Wild Honey, you'll have the only released version with the full title of the song " Good Lord, How She Boogalooed It" Title: Re: The Most Oddball BB Related Find I've Made So Far...

( very embarassed) MUCH nicer than mine, because, as it turns out, I was confusing the Murry 4 track for another. I don't have the Murry tape. Oh well, something to add to the want/wish list...

Sunflower, Surf's Up, and I believe Carl and the Passions are all quad recordings, compatible with stereo. Title: Re: The Most Oddball BB Related Find I've Made So Far... Post by: oldsurferdude on July 18, 2010, 07:47:39 AM Did any BBs albums, cartridge or otherwise, ever come out in Quad? I'm fairly sure that The Flame LP was released in quad.

I could very easily be wrong and a perusal of the Desper thread is really in order, but I believe while they were recorded to be in quad, the actual releases were only ever in stereo.Sunflower, Surf's Up, and I believe Carl and the Passions are all quad recordings, compatible with stereo.

Two tracks on Sunflower - "Cool, Cool Water" & "It's About Time" - are mixed in quad, as are all of Surf's Up & Spring. CATP claims to be a quad mix, but in fact only the two Dennis tracks are: the rest is a sort of DuoPhonic quad and yes, it sounds as bad as you'd imagine. The Flame album is a quad mix as well. That said, everything Steve Desper recorded & mixed for the band 1969-1971 (and 1979-1980) has an encoded matrix that gives an early form of surround sound.

What 8 track?4 track tapes are basically the predecessor to 8 track tapes. They look very similar, yet sound noticeably better. Title: Re: The Most Oddball BB Related Find I've Made So Far... Post by: Ed Roach on July 23, 2010, 09:18:24 AM I already posted this in another thread, but my wife has tried checking with the hard-core collectors, to no avail, and this thread reminded me about this the other day. Back in the 70's, I designed a poster for SUNN amp's, using a shot of The Boys where you could really see them using their amp's. I even came up with a catch phrase that they used on the poster, "The Beach Boys get a little Sunn". Anyone have a copy of that poster? Somehow, I never kept one, and I'd love to just see it again...

They look very similar, yet sound noticeably better. Not knowing if this be the correct place to discuss this, and figuring that many here don't collect so much as enjoy the music, I'll ask anyway: Anyone have knowledge of any Beach Boys/related 4 track tapes that were issued, other than the ones on this list?
