Title: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: pmugghc on October 09, 2013, 08:25:56 AM I was turning on my phone with MIC on it, wanted Steamboat, confident it was there but no! So I'll start with my "missing tracks" list:
1) I've got a friend (live) 2) Steamboat Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Niko on October 09, 2013, 08:37:26 AM More than anything, All I Wanna Do
Then Big Sur 4/4 In The Back of my mind backing track more Love You tracks and the (apparently) better mix of You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Cabinessenceking on October 09, 2013, 08:40:38 AM Our Life Our Love Our Land
Gold Rush Hard Times We Got Love Don't Let Me Go All Of My Love (short, but so is 'I Believe In Miracles') You Are So Beautiful (studio or live version) Lookin' Down The Coast Lucy Jones Come To the Sunshine 1974/75 version of any of the following: In The Back Of My Mind Angel Come Home River Song Good Timin' I Want To Pick You Up Rainbows Pacific Ocean Blue furthermore: Deep Purple Life Is For The Living Still I Dream Of It (with same style remixing as was done on It's Over Now (alternate mix)) Cool Cool Water River Deep Mountain High Lady Lynda or Full Sail (Brian's Back was not appropriate imo) Big Sur 4/4 not saying all of this should be out ofc, but more of it could certainly make the cut. Even if only a couple of them. Transcendental Meditiation, Pom Pom Girl and Don't Go Near The Water (both versions) could easily face the axe.

Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Andrew G. Doe on October 09, 2013, 04:04:31 PM Also - more Jasper Dailey tracks. There should be a worldwide search going on for them. "Teeter Totter Love" was THE highlight of the entire Smile Sessions box. There are only two others, and there's no need to search - same place as "TTL" was. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: ash on October 09, 2013, 04:21:14 PM Well my kids will be happy. They thought Teeter Totter Love was hilarious and much better than cd2 of the Smile box set which they found somewhat repetitive. "dad put teeter totter on again..it's hilarious...dad..this one's boring put on teeter totter"
I'm sure i remember reading that the other acetates by Jasper were lost but thanks for confirming they exist or have emerged in some form Andrew. As my kids are fast asleep right now i'll just make two additions (on their behalf) to my earlier list re Durrie Parks acetates, Big Als Big Dig Worm lead vocal etc. and my children want to know why MIC did not include Crack The Whip When I Get Mad I Just Play My Drums Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Jim V. on October 09, 2013, 05:08:32 PM I'm kinda of two minds. I like having more unreleased stuff to look forward to. So I'm glad they didn't empty the vault (just as I never expected them to!)
Anyways, here's a few that I would like to see released in the future: "My Little Red Book" (1968) "Carry Me Home" (1972) "Lucy Jones" (1974) "In The Back Of My Mind" (1975) "Calendar Girl" (1978) "Little Girl" (1979) "I'll Always Love You" (1979) "Why Didn't I Tell You?" (1979) "Smokey Places" (1979) "Stevie" (1981) "Sweetie" (1981) and then a few that might not have vocals or be totally finished, but would still be interesting: "Spark In The Dark" (1972) "Baby I Need Your Lovin'/Gimme Some Lovin'" (1972?) "Rooftop Harry" (1972) "Brian's Jam" (1974) All kinds of other stuff would still be interesting by the way. Backing tracks, early version, vocals-only versions. There is still a lot of interesting Beach Boys and Brian Wilson stuff to be released. So, given this lack of so other real rarities, are people a little ambivalent about MIC? I'm not sure if this is a joke or something, but no, not me at least. Thanks to the release of the set, I now have stuff I'd dreamt about for years, like "Where Is She?" and the demo of "California Feelin'", not to mention great stuff like "(Wouldn't It Be Nice To) Live Again", the official Beach Boys version of "California Feelin'", the live "Wild Honey" with Blondie on vocals, "You're Still A Mystery", "Back Home", and lots of other stuff. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Eric Aniversario on October 09, 2013, 05:41:26 PM A few years back, a doobie bros boxed set came out, filled with hits, rarities, live tracks. But for whatever reason, Without You was omitted. Many collectors and fans, though they probably had purchased the song 10x over, were astonished. I feel the same way about MIC omitting Then i Kissed Her. Glaring oversight on an otherwise great box. it just doesn't feel complete without it. Salt lake city, which I don't think anyone was clamoring for, could have easily been dropped in favor of it. A cool but inessential album track with a 12 year old mix...it would not really have been missed.
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Marcella on October 09, 2013, 06:08:48 PM I can't believe no one has said Long Promised Road
IMO Long Promised Road > Feel Flows, but since Cameron Crowe expressed his love of Feel Flows and placed it prominently in Almost Famous, Feel Flows has, in the words of another poster on here, become the go-to "Carl as artist" track. I still prefer Long Promised Road Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: The Shift on October 09, 2013, 06:21:16 PM This thread is already the root of MiC vol II.

So I'll start with my "missing tracks" list: You have MIC on your phone? You mean you dialed a number and heard MIC on someone's answering machine? I'm confused. 1) I've got a friend (live) 2) Steamboat Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Micha on October 10, 2013, 12:30:57 AM My realistic wishlist:
Lady ("Landlocked" mix instead of what they included) Big Sur ("Landlocked" mix) Suzie Cincinnati ("Landlocked" mix instead of what they included) What'd I Say CIFOTM (Brian 1966 mix) Here Today (mono) Drive-In (mono) The not-so-realistic wishlist: I'm Broke (Brian 1996 vocals) It's Not Easy Being Me (Brian 1996 vocals) Surf's Up live with strings early 70s Totally unrealistic wishlist: Do You Like Worms (finished version with new vocals from Al, Bruce and Mike) CIFOTM (finished version with new vocals from Al, Bruce and Mike) Holidays (finished version with new vocals from Al, Bruce and Mike) Look (finished version with new vocals from Al, Bruce and Mike) Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: ash on October 10, 2013, 03:51:17 AM Good list Micha.
However your "unrealistic" wishlist is perhaps only 3/4 unrealistic. I'm not sure how hard it would be for Al to sit down with Brian and Van Dyke, play them that vocal snippet from the boxset and say "Gee Brian i'd love to finish this one up it was always one of my favourites and all it needs is the 2nd part of the melody line. I've got the lyrics here. Just how much cake do you need to remember the rest of that melody ? We can play it live or i can dub on the lead in half an hour with Mark Linnett for the Smile Volume 2 box. It'll be a smash.We're bound to sell a million units." Holidays/Look and Child are more difficult as we have so little to go on unless something (missing Look vocal multitrack/composing demos ?) turns up or unless Brian has a mahoosive flashback. Given current circumstances i think the unrealistic bit might be the Mike/Bruce overdub but we don't need them for this track.

I'll probably annoy you now, but I think the DYLW vocal snippet from TSS is a background vocal line, and I could go without it, though I'd prefer that touch of color to be there. I'd be happy if they completed it as they are on BWPS, and I want Mike on lead for Holidays and the CIFOTM verse "Easy my child..." Al or Bruce should do the lead on DYLW. And if it was a realistic wish, they could have done it for TSS. On my realistic list I forgot "Custom Machine". Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: TimmyC on October 10, 2013, 10:10:14 AM I know I will be flogged (edited in) for what I'm about to write, but I don't care, it cannot be said enough, and it should be repeated on a daily basis until someone who matters hears it: THIS BOX SET IS A TRAVESTY for the simple fact that the same m----erf-----g g----d-----n greatest hits songs were repeated AGAIN for the gazillionth time, most recently a YEAR ago in the form of not just one, but TWO greatest hits compilations: 50 Big Ones and Greatest Hits. The idea that the casual fan was going to spend 125 g----d---n dollars on a Beach Boys box set is ludicrous. It was only EVER us die hards who were EVER going to spend 125 on a box set, and we have the vast majority of the songs on the box set 100 times over. For the LIFE of me, I don't understand why we didn't boycott it.
What OBVIOUSLY should have been released is a comendium of all unreleased tracks. And I'm talking truly unreleased (including live tracks) and not the 2013 mix of California Girls (or whatever) or the stereo mix of This Car of Mine (or whatever). Why did we not riot over MIC?? I just don't understand. For the record, I DID NOT buy it. I would buy anything by the Beach Boys including an album full of Teeter Totter Loves, but I REFUSE to pay BIG MONEY for a set that is primarily composed of tracks I already have in my collection not just once, but in many cases a dozen times over (again including from 2012's 50 Big Ones which I DID stupidly buy just to show my support). The posters on this site are incredibly, incredibly intelligent. So the how hell did you let yourself get snookered? ONCE AGAIN??? Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: TimmyC on October 10, 2013, 10:10:38 AM meant to edit my previous post... sorry....
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: ash on October 10, 2013, 10:20:13 AM You could well be right on Worms Micha. I'd love to know either way and i wanna hear the "Having returned to the east or west indies " lyrics in context sung by Al too.
I'm not convinced by the additions on Child,Holidays and Look on BWPS. I would like someone to sit the guys down and quiz them about all these little Smile mysteries...they may know nothing but i don't believe i've seen them asked directly. There have been some amazing archival finds in the non-beach boys world recently...Laurel and Hardy,Orson Welles,Metropolis,Johnny Kidd and The Pirates (i found that one !),The 3 Stooges etc. While we wait a definitive report on the recently auctioned Durrie Parks acetates i would suggest all is still not lost. I posted an article a year or so ago about record company archiving and they all have mahoosive piles of uncatalogued tape,unboxed etc. with no way of knowing what's on them until they listen to them. You never know... Today's missing story recovery is that of Doctor Who...after midnight it'll be announced just what has been found ...an amazing story and hope for all of us. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Phoenix on October 10, 2013, 10:47:45 AM I'll probably annoy you now, but I think the DYLW vocal snippet from TSS is a background vocal line, and I could go without it Listen to these and tell me if you still feel that way. http://www.mediafire.com/?jhz7t9q1o7g53mb http://www.mediafire.com/?dztw18x2sazl1qb I'm convinced that Brian remembered the lyrics in 2004 but not the melody. The vocal line for the "worms" verses if very unlike the rest of Smile, and is barely a melody at all; more like a chant. Given the context that could have been the intent but why check the tempo against an "insignificant" background part? I'm pretty certain that was the intended vocal line. It's my belief that if the "chant" was actually intended for the song in 1966/67, IT is the part that would have been the background part/counter melody, as I show the example in the second file. You have to use your imagination a bit and picture the respective line, each time I used the repeated snippet, but the lyrics are a perfect fit with the melody. From the control room, Brian sings something like "A once upon a time in ala da da da da..." It's pretty easy to see that line as "A once upon a time among the sa-and wich isles", or something to that effect. The rest of it isn't a complete fit but that's why we need Al to finish it! ;D Either way, give them a listen and see if it changes your opinion. If not, that's fine. I just think that missing bit is the MAIN melody rather than a background part and think you might at least find that theory interesting. :) Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: TopCat on October 10, 2013, 11:02:08 AM What would I have wished to see on MIC? That's easy: a lower price tag.
(I'm still saving ..... by Christmas maybe.) Sorry, couldn't resist. I'll fetch my coat.

Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Micha on October 11, 2013, 05:33:29 AM You could well be right on Worms Micha. I'd love to know either way and i wanna hear the "Having returned to the east or west indies " lyrics in context sung by Al too. I'm not convinced by the additions on Child,Holidays and Look on BWPS. I'm sure Look was never completely written back in 1966, and the finished BWPS version is a bit unconvincing but works in the suite. It's better than being left totally unfinished though. The CIFTOM verse lyrics are said to be written in 2003, but the "I believe... I believe... I believe..." is as good as if it was written in 1966. The Holidays lyrics however seem to be close to what was written back then, according to some circumstances. I imagine the "Having returned to the east or west indies" lyrics were to be placed over the "winding down" harpsichord part before the fade. The "we always got them confused" would match the music quite well. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Micha on October 11, 2013, 05:42:44 AM I'll probably annoy you now, but I think the DYLW vocal snippet from TSS is a background vocal line, and I could go without it If you had bothered to quote my whole phrase you might have noticed it ended with "I could go without it, though I'd prefer that touch of color to be there." Would have saved you a bit of time posting all that. And FYI, I did use it as background vocals on my DYLW DIY mix on the second verse. The main melody as on BWPS isn't very interesting, but there's no proof it was better in 1966. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: JK on October 11, 2013, 09:31:46 AM Haven't seen "Thank Him (For Our Love)" in any of these lists. Might have missed it, of course.

Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Mikie on October 11, 2013, 03:49:50 PM "Wich Stand" is a "Survivors" track. Doubt we'll ever get to hear that. Same with "Girlie" and "Hot Harp".
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Blake Alan on October 11, 2013, 04:05:41 PM Yeah, a guy can hope though, right? My two biggest wants for MiC were 'Wich Stand' and 'Sound of Free'. I was actually pretty surprised to see either of them make it since neither were technically BB tracks. And yes, I'm afraid 'Wich Stand' will never see the light of day, given it's status as a Survivor's song. I mean, if not on a BB comp, where does it belong? Another BW productions comp?? There's probably plenty of material for a second volume, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Mikie on October 11, 2013, 04:27:22 PM A little history behind the song "Wich Stand". Wiki fudges a little, saying it was written by The Beach Boys. Maybe one of them....

Sure glad I got a hold of my senses first. Seriously, I would love to hear clean professionally mixed copies of "My Solution" and "Carry Me Home". Plus maybe something from the axed Denny tour rehearsals. And those early 70's Carl demos with moog and such. Vocals only mixes of "Goin' On" and "The Trader" (first half). A 2013 mix on "Chasin' The Sky". Maybe the early version of "Keeping The Summer Alive" that is supposed to rock much more. You could go on and on and on or just simply be thankful for what they did give us. Glass is half full or empty scenario.

Completely ruined by DW's vocal. Sorry but i really can't stand it. I didn't like it in mono or especially Duophonic, because his voice was overdubbed so many times. I like the new stereo mix better without all that overdubbing. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: roll plymouth rock on November 13, 2013, 01:06:20 AM Still Cruisin'
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: donald on November 18, 2013, 04:38:56 PM I have a very nice sound quality vinyl landlocked boot. I'm going to finally put it on a USB turntable and get it in digital format. then I can include those songs left off of MIC in my own comps.
Still f' ...ing around with vinyl boots after all these years!

Completely ruined by DW's vocal. Sorry but i really can't stand it. Couldn't agree more. Blows my mind that BW's edit of CIFOTM wasn't included on TSS, let alone MiC. As for the latter....I can't believe that that backing track didn't make the set. My heart sunk when the tracklist came out and ITBOMM instrumental was nowhere to be found. I've yapped about it plenty here, as have others. F8ck, even Bruce went on about that backing track on the Brian Wilson Songwriter DVD. I actually don't mind Dennis's lead, but for the love of god, it's a shame to have that backing track just sitting in the vaults. Here's to hoping a hardcore-fan-only 2 disc album will be made soon...with all the goodies we want.

But Dennis did a great job, it's one of his best pre-1973 vocals! The song wouldn't be the same without it. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Niko on November 18, 2013, 05:46:39 PM I prefer the version that has just one track of Dennis singing. I think it's much more effective :)

Do You Like Worms with a lead vocal from Al with original melody line and lyrics. The remaining tracks from the BBC Top Gear session. I think I would be willing to pay the cost of the MiC box just for these suggestions.

I don't think Dennis does it very well, I actually think he was a poor choice, but then, what do I know. And listening to the stereo version, I think there are parts where the strings should be louder, as they are so beautifully arranged and would give more effect to the recording. But then, the track as it is is better than anything on Love You for me... Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: rattfink on November 22, 2013, 06:56:37 AM Drip Drop (Teardrops on my Bed)

You’re Riding High on the Music You woke a sleeping dog and I haven't repeated myself lately, which I'm prone to do... This was a no-brainer. There should've been two boxed sets. One boxed set would be comprised of all released material, including rarities, single versions, and some mono and/or stereo mixes. The other boxed set would be comprised of all unreleased material, including some live cuts as well. The Beach Boys deserved it and the fans deserved it. Nevermind the historical value, I believe the record company would've profited over time, and not a very long time. Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: The Shift on December 02, 2013, 01:04:30 AM Think you're right Sheriff, and the project would have reached into profit cos most of us here would have bought both despite the prereleased stuff on one of the sets. We're like that …
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: donald on December 14, 2013, 05:50:03 PM I really need to take the time and organize and sort my archives. I actually have a lot of what has been left off of MIC as I suspect many of you do. Still, as a music consumer of advancing years, I'd like to unwrap a new release of all of this material and simply put it on the record player. Most of all, I miss going down to the record store and buying it. Just today, on this Rainy winter day, I lamented the demise of the cozy record store I visited on many a snowy winter day as a teen. Am I alone in my nostalgia here?
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: CenturyDeprived on January 07, 2014, 10:53:50 AM I was going through my iTunes recently and came across a track which I'd almost forgotten exited - the Mike-sung version of Please Let Me Wonder. For as highly regarded and well known a song as it is, I'm surprised this hasn't seen release on MIC, or as a bonus track somewhere. Are the master tapes missing or something? It's pretty much the only time I can think of where Brian tried to have Mike sing a non-shared lead vocal on so sensitive a ballad (in the band's early-ish years).
Title: Re: Tracks you'd wish was on MIC Post by: Jason on January 07, 2014, 12:39:13 PM I don't think anyone here would want to hear Rubles, if what AGD has told us about the song is any indication of its quality...
