Hey it would be awesome if you checked out my YouTube channel, I post alternate albums, alternate versions of songs, and more

Thanks for the link!

I just listened to your '75 Caribou album edit and it just crossed my mind what a great album they could've released if only they would have let Dennis produce and write one for them. Maybe with a couple of strong Brian tracks. But wow, what could've been.... And isn't "My love lives on" just heartbreakingly beautiful?

Yeah   What If??  My Love Lives On is just great !!

I still think it would make for great dramatic effect if used in a TV-series. Maybe for a season's finale or something like that....

Cool stuff, man. Like what you've done here. As someone who was doing something very similar last year with making these albums and then posting about it here, I would maybe caution against sharing links here as it could definitely amplify your chances of getting a copyright notice from Brother Records, and then all of your uploads are history after that. This happened to not only me but also jiggy22 and The_Beach, after we all had posted about our projects here and got a fair amount of attention from fans.

These videos are SUPER fun to make, and I've subsequently tweaked some of my album reimaginings and reuploaded them privately onto a new channel because I enjoyed listening to them so much, that I just don't want you to get your hopes up and have all of your hard work deleted in one swift go.

I haven't posted anything BB's related on my blog since mid-December, as I've been busy pursuing other interests for the time being. So it's nice to see others taking up the hobby. Just be sure to back up your video files, because you never know if or when they'll be removed by Brother Records!

I'd like to see an alternate/extended version of the LA Light Album...

That alternate Sunflower is an amazing 12-track album.

I have one strike for the Brian Wilson Slightly American Music alternate album I did.  But everything is backed up and I want to make a blog just like Jiggy did. Some one more strike and I'll probably make a blog

Yes, I second that. Sunflower was a very underrated and underappreciated album. The musical climate was against them in 1970 as that was the heyday of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and the heavier rock groups.

Interesting comment at the bottom of this one from one 'Amanda Darlene'. Signs off as Amanda Johnston and says she is Bruce Johnstons new wife! Is this bs or a scoop?  :o

Anyone notice Al's dig at the end of Come Go With Me ??   After introducing and crediting Ritchie Canata for his fine sax work at the end of the song.  He says  "And we finally have a sax player"    Dig towards Mike ?    It just caught my ear and made me think what happened over the next 5 to 10 years from 93 to 05.   Any other instances where any heard digs like this between members on stage ? 

Don't mean to derail this thread       Great production and great clarity       Hope the eyes in the sky leave this alone

I hadn't thought of the comment in that way, however I doubt Al said anything then that he hadn't said for the last 30 years.  :lol
