Title: Your preferred 'smile'? Post by: TheLazenby on June 18, 2006, 01:57:13 PM Which version of "Smile" do you choose to listen to the most??
At the moment, I'm liking my own mix - I wanted to combine both 'finished' versions (Brian's and Purple Chick's) into one perfect album. Something like this, if I remember correctly... 1) Our Prayer (Beach Boys) 2) Heroes And Villains (Beach Boys) 3) Roll Plymouth Rock (Brian) 4) Barnyard (Brian) 5) Old Master Painter (Brian) / Sunshine (Beach Boys) 6) Cabinessence (Beach Boys) 7) Wonderful (Brian) 8) Song For Children (Brian) 9) Child Is The Father (Brian) - I would've used more BB material for the second section, but it's in bad quality. Brian's stuff is better anyway. 10) Surf's Up (Beach Boys) 11) Vegetables (Beach Boys) - I hate the medley. It had to go. 12) On A Holiday (Brian) 13) Wind Chimes (Beach Boys) 14) Mrs O Leary's Cow (Beach Boys) 15) In Blue Hawaii (Brian) / Our Prayer Reprise (Beach Boys) 16) Good Vibrations (Beach Boys) Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'?

in BWPS tracklisting of course Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'? Post by: Billgoodman on June 18, 2006, 03:39:12 PM I really like the BWPS tracklisting
how incorrect it may be historically but it works fantastic more specific, I really like how BWPS' H&V is constructed all the best parts of H&V together integrated in a great song I think the Smiley Smile/Single version is great, but it misses the cantina section and False Barnyard. BWPS is the best version in matter of structure, but I'll take the 1966/67 recordings of all the material over the 2004 anyday. That's why I like the version that somebody made of BWPS with the 1966 recordings. Who made that, actually? It really sounds finished, with the exception of Holiday, Blue Hawaii/Dada and Child is the father of the man (still think Look didn't really need lyrics) Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'? Post by: Sheriff John Stone on June 18, 2006, 05:33:58 PM My own mix from the 66-67 sessions. I tinkered with it obsessively. Yeah, I know some of the these songs probably wouldn't have made the final cut.
1. Look 2. You're Welcome 3. Do You Like Worms 4. Cabinessence 5. I Wanna Be Around/Workshop 6. Vegetables 7. I Love To Say Dada 8. Spanish Guitar Instrumental 9. Heroes And Viilains Suite (with false Barnyard) 10. Wonderful 11. Mama Mama Mama 12. Barnyard 13. Old Master Painter 14. Mrs. O'Leary's Cow 15. Water Chant (from Sunflower) 16. Good Vibrations 17. Wind Chimes 18. Holidays 19. With Me Tonight (from the Hawthorne CD) 20. Child Is Father Of The Man 21. Our Prayer 22. Surf's Up 23. Hidden Track using the "boys and girls and boys and girls" snippet from Carl's Coda on the Hawthorne CD) Gee, it's great to talk about SMiLE again... Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'?

Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'? Post by: TheLazenby on June 18, 2006, 06:49:00 PM My favorite alternative track list (one that doesn't match BWPS) would probably have to be the one that seemed to commonly appear on sites before BWPS came out - it was split into "Side One: Americana" and "Side Two: Elemental". Don't remember exactly what was on it, but I have a CDR of it somewhere...
It crammed in a lot of bits and pieces that BWPS didn't cover; though admittedly, putting on ALL of "Heroes And Villains" (including the weird 'part 2' and the 'Bicycle Rider Theme' sections) is a little excessive. Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'? Post by: NimrodsSon on June 19, 2006, 06:55:42 AM I just made a new mix a couple of weeks ago. I believe it's almost perfect. I tried to do something that would have actually been plausible and I tried to stick to the twelve track list as much as possible. I used no fan mixes or combinations of demos and backing tracks, and everything is mono, except for a few songs which are only available in stereo, which I converted to mono. The only major liberty I took was using the Sunflower "Cool, Cool Water." Tracklist is as follows:
Side One 01. Prayer (GV box version) 02. H&V Cantina Version w/ fade 03. Worms w/ fade and chorus with "bicycle rider..." vocals 04. Wonderful 05. Bicycle Rider theme from H&V Sections--the one that's instrumental with the piano and all the cool percussion stuff. Immediately at the end of the bicycle rider theme, where that last note is held out, BOOM!--right into the Child chorus (fits PERFECTLY!), and then Brian's mix of Child, replacing the final chorus with the fading tag (This song had to be converted to mono. I used the mix found on MOK's version. I don't know where it originated.) 06. Old Master Painter (Mark Linett Rough Mixes version) 07. Cabinessence (20/20 version, converted to mono) Side Two 01. Good Vibes 02. The Elements Earth -Vega-Tables (box set version, but with Smiley a capella "I know that you'll.." added just before the other "I know that you'll...," just like on the Smiley version. Air -Holidays (Mark Linett Rough Mixes version w/ tag) -Wind Chimes (box set version w/ tag) Fire -Fire (SOT mono version w/ sound effects w/ H&V intro and w/ IWBA/Friday Night as tag--H&V intro and IWBA/Friday Night had to be converted to mono) Water -Cool, Cool Water (Sunflower version converted to mono) 03. You're Welcome 04. Surf's Up (Surf's Up Version converted to mono) Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'?

Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'? Post by: roll plymouth rock on June 19, 2006, 02:47:49 PM my preferred mix is most definately and most certainly the one described at:
http://www.geocities.com/psychedelicate_smile no bwps smile tracks, full stereo mix, 'talk-over' interludes and all sorts of other surprises. makes every other edit i've heard stink. Title: Re: Your preferred 'smile'? Post by: Aegir on June 22, 2006, 06:44:19 PM blaah
Side 1: Our Prayer - Box Set Heroes and Villains - Smiley/Wild Honey Twofer Barnyard - piano demo/backing track meld; I have a few different fan edits I've downloaded, not sure which to use Do You Like Worms? - Box Set Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine - Vigotone Cabin Essence - Box Set Wonderful - Box Set Look - Vigotone Child Is Father of the Man - Vigotone Side 2: Good Vibrations - Smiley (but I hear there's a version that was released only in Australia that lasts a few seconds longer than the normal edit, with the ridiculous abrupt fade, that would be good as an "album" version, you know) Vegtables - Box Set Wind Chimes - Box Set Heroes and Villains [Intro] (really O'Leary's Cow intro) - Box Set Mrs. O'Leary's Cow - Vigotone I'm In Great Shape - not sure I Wanna/Friday - Vigotone I Love To Say Da-Da - Box Set Holidays - Vigotone Surf's Up - Anne Wallace mix |
