Title: 2017 copyright extension release details?
Post by: leafy on October 19, 2017, 06:42:29 AM
Hello,
I did some searching but I did not find a thread for this topic. Apologies if I just missed it.

I'm wondering if anyone knows any details about a 2017 copyright extension release like they did last year with the Graduation Day 1966 release.

With December only a month and change away, maybe some details are out there. thanks

Pure speculation, but I wouldn't be surprised if they will release the Hawaii '67 shows and probably the road shows of that year without Brian. In 2016 a couple of tracks from Michigan '66 were released on the Pet Sounds box and later both shows were put out as the copyright extension release. This year the Sunshine Tomorrow set had some tracks from above mentioned shows so I guess there's a possibility

The "Copyright Extension" sets are great, I'm all for them.

But I do hope BRI continues archival releases outside the very specific "50 year copyright extension" prompt.

Every album should get the "Sunshine Tomorrrow" treatment, and we shouldn't have to wait until 2027 for a "Love You" boxed set.

Or, instead, just a big boxed set of themed outtakes. Brian's demos, etc.

Haven't they said that those tapes are two damaged and that's why it wasn't used on Sunshine Tomorrow?

It looks like there's an iffy CD coming from Japan that features one of the Hawaii '67 shows:

https://www.spincds.com/hollywood-bowl-1965-japanese-digpak-cd-54612

(https://media.spincds.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/265x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/z/a/zap2_g6377259w.jpg)

The translation of the description is pretty epically bizarre; though there's something compelling about the idea of the BBs titling that album "Raid in Hawaii"  :lol    :

Full appearance of unreleased live board "Raid in Hawaii" here! Completely recorded Hawaiian · Honolulu concert on August 25, 1967! During the abortion of the phantom album "Smile", the tour refused B · Wilson also participates fully! Beginning with super rare "The Letter", a single "hero and bad hit" of those days!

(Translated from Japanese.)


In any event, this sketchy CD from Japan may help motivate Capitol to include the full Hawaii shows as part of this year's "copyright extension" set (if it wasn't already planned). I'm kind of ambivalent about it; those Hawaii shows have been floating around for quite a long time now.

"Raid in Hawaii"? Maybe this includes the opening set by Paul Revere and the Raiders? I would buy that!

Legally speaking do they actually need to release the full Lei'ed in Hawaii concerts to preserve their copyright? Would just the the released "excerpts" from those shows protect the rest of tape from wntering public domain?

That was what I was thinking.

Next year is the 50 year anniversary of my personal favorite for many years  (now tied with Wild Honey)  , Friends. Can't wait for next years possible extension releases!

We are going to get something before the year is done. According to ESQ magazine and oh Mark Linettt posted in this a while back, after the release of Sunshine Tommorrow. The third reply down.       http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,25561.0.html


Title: Re: 2017 copyright extension release details?
Post by: HeyJude on November 28, 2017, 07:37:11 AM
The "copyright extension" thing is murky, but here's what I remember based on what info has been put out there:

In terms of studio recordings, all that is supposedly needed to protect "all" sessions for a song is for one take/recording to be issued. So any *song* that has already had a release in some form has thus had its entire "session" run protected as far as recordings. This is why tracks like "Thank Him" from "Big Beat 1963" or "Christmas Eve" and "Jingle Bells" on the "Keep an Eye on Summer 1964" were included.

This is of course murky; as I've pointed out before, I'm not sure what would happen if, say, a 1964 demo of "Santa Ana Winds" emerged. 

What we also know, of course, is that especially starting with the 1964 extension set, they've gone well *past* what they technically had to include to protect the recording copyrights in including alternates of songs we've already seen released and in some cases already seen other alternates issued.

I'm not sure what the deal is with live recordings, but I think because each live show/recording is its own event in terms of copyright (as opposed to a studio session tape where all work leading up the "master" is kind of all inclusive of one "project"), it may be that each given live recording has to be issued to protect the copyright of the actual recording.

But I dunno, I'm not sure we're going to see just a glut of 1967 live recordings issued before the end of the year. That is, I think we're likely to see some more studio and live stuff, but are we really going to see a release of all five or six soundboard shows (that we know of) from 1967. Two Hawaii shows, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Boston, and maybe one other?

Will they, conversely, go for some other stuff that isn't already "out there" and has been heard? All of that live '67 stuff has been floating around for many years, and the best of the lot *was* included on "Sunshine Tomorrow."

But I dunno, I could envision a "live" and "studio" copyright extension set, and they *could* fit all those '67 shows on the equivalent of what would be around 3 CDs (it would be digital only of course).

Sunshine Tomorrow 2 - 29 additional tracks from the Smiley Smile sessions, the Lei'd in Hawaii Wally Heider Studio sessions, and the Wild Honey sessions, including the unreleased "Good News"
Live Sunshine - 109 performances from 7 shows in 5 states during the 1967 tour

Wow! Well, I know what *I'm* doing on December 8th (assuming I *can* get this set in the UK on that date...!). I'm one of those that cannae get enough Smiley/Honey era studio stuff. I had such a blast listening to the KAEOS set in the run-up to Christmas three years back and am now really looking forward to more of the same this year.

I'm probably seeing complications that aren't there, but does anyone think that this might actually be TWO sets, rather than one 138-track mega-set? One 29-track studio set and the 109-track live doodah separately? (it's hard to tell from the way the ES info is written here).

I have to say, I'm not the hugest fan of Beach Boys live recordings, but I make an exception for this era. So even if it IS two sets, I will still shill. Why yes, I am utterly hooked, thank you for asking...!

If, prior to December 8th, anyone can let slip whether it's one or two sets, that would be super.

Thanks so much to everyone in Beach Boys land and outside it (you know who you are) who continues to make these incredible sets available.

Best wishes,

Matt

Post by: Matt Bielewicz on December 07, 2017, 07:55:52 AM
Listening through now, so will probably have more to say later. The separation on the a capella mixes is great - as you would expect, these mixes from the master tapes mostly presents literally just the vocals with no backing track bleed, which is a revelation on tracks like the H&V a capella - so for example, on the chorus, you get to hear all the voices completely unobscured by the Baldwin drone, which I don't think I've ever done before. Don't get me wrong, I love the Baldwin, but it's fascinating to hear the vocals so clearly, and a gift to the 'roll yer own' mix crowd.

And of course, some of the tracks have been available in a capella mixes on boots before, but usually either not in stereo or with bleed-through from instrumental backing tracks, or in very poor quality, or in some mixture of all of the above! So, for example, the Here Comes The Night vocals were available a capella on some bootleg CD years ago that I just about recall (don't ask me what it was called, though...), but the quality was awful. No longer - the vocals sound unbelievable here!

Good News is the simple and basic track we knew it probably would be, once we knew in the summer what it actually was. I mean, nice and all to have at last... but it is literally Al and a guitar, singing an occasional line from the off-axis to the mic. But we knew that.

The 'worth it all for this' tracks for me so far are the a capellas: H&V, Little Pad, Here Comes The Night, Let The Wind Blow, all of which are as good as you'd know they'd have to be...! Tune L also absolutely rocks, and even has a cool theremin line in it (plus one of the guitar breaks sounds incredibly like THAT riff from Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit from a mere 23 years later!). No vocals though, sadly. I prefer Dennis's 60s and early 70s stuff to what came later, though, so I was bound to like this. As a long-standing huge fan of the slowly, dreamier Heider studio session rearrangements of some of the songs that were presumably for use on the putative Lei'd In Hawaii album, I'm also LOVING having stereo mixes of more of these recordings at last. We've had God Only Knows from these sessions since the Endless Harmony release nearly 20 years ago, and California Girls as well since MiC came out, but the rest were only on boots of terrible sonic quality or really badly mixed (as on SOT). Now at last, here are 'proper' stereo mixes. It's also great to have another studio recording of Heroes and Villains, even if there are no lead vocals (this is, of course the track that the Mike Love 'nuclear bomb' rant was overdubbed on, as heard on various boots, but here the track is presented without this, er, charming vocal, so it's a stereo organ-heavy Heider backing track and group backing vocals, which is interesting... like a properly 'Smiley-ised' studio version of H&V, not the one on the album salvaged from the SMiLE recordings). I also don't recall hearing the Heider version of Surfin' before, which sounds like a *proper* surf garage band, with cool fuzz-tone guitar, trashcan drums and of course the piping 'Do It Again' organ line. If it weren't for the lack of vocals, I think I'd prefer this to the original single!

I wasn't sure what the Aren't You Glad 'single' stereo mix was for (as surely this never was a single, much less a stereo one, back in the day)... but then I noticed that the mix recreates some of the backing track mutes that were on the original 1967 mono mix, which the Sunshine Tomorrow stereo mix this past summer did not. So I don't know, perhaps they took the opportunity presented by this set to have another go at the stereo mix and get it closer to the mono...?

The Can't Wait Too Long mix is basically another, slightly different mix of the same section of the song we heard in the ST set in the summer, with that strange tag (with a completely different rhythm) that we previously heard at the end of the very first 'official' mix of CWTL that came out, on the 1990 SS/WH twofer. Prominent organ, with snare hits and a Fender bass wandering up and down the scale. You know the one I mean. No great revelations here.

Oh yeah, and the 1967 Time To Get Along backing in full quality! Yay!

Other than that, the Smiley and Wild Honey session tracks are interesting for track scholars, as you hear the backing track for part of the song, the backing vocal parts for others, and usually everything all together (minus lead vocals, of course) by the end. This may frustrate those who like to do their own mixes, as you don't quite ever get complete isolated backing vocals for complete tracks nor completely unoverdubbed backing tracks all the way through any of the tracks. But perhaps that was partly the point...! It's still a fascinating listen.

I haven't got through the live set yet. I'm not usually that into live discs where the Beach Boys are concerned. But the Hawaii rehearsals hooked me in to listening to it. So far, what I don't get is how great the Boys sound in some of the pre-show rehearsals compared to some of the really ropey performances they gave during the actual Hawaii concerts...!

And they ran through Whistle In in rehearsal... but then didn't play it at the shows? What WAS going on with this band at the time...? Brian does sound pretty snippy on a couple of the rehearsal tracks I've heard so far, too... worried about a sheet of paper which has gone missing on which he'd written all the Baldwin stop settings for the different songs, and cuttingly asking Carl if the band are just going to keep noodling on their instruments when they're all supposed to be rehearsing. I guess it *was* his first live show in quite a while...!

More on this stuff later...

There hasn't been a physical release of any of the end-of-year "Copyright Extension" releases since they began in 2013 (unless one counts the "Party" 2-CD set from 2015).

There are numerous options to purchase digital downloads. Amazon is perhaps the most mainstream and easy. HDTracks is another. I believe there are several others.

Just started digging into this set.

It is SO, SO awesome.

Thank you Mark Linett and the powers that be who enabled this set to see the light of day. Historically very significant, and an absolute joy to hear. We are VERY lucky.

Interesting that the more one pulls back the layers of the stems of Smiley Smile, the more in parts it seems to be to be the psychedelic successor to the Beach Boys Party! album. Especially on the stripped down version of She's Going Bald, due to the bongos and sparse instrumentation.

Another thing I realize as I listen to this (and the 2012 stereo version made this somewhat clear too) is how beautiful the Smiley Smile songs are. The original mix is muddy as hell, and nothing is clear...it just sounds like a mess, and though I liked many of the songs I never really listened to them because of their mix.

But you're right, the more you peal back the layers on these latest sets you realize what all is there. This is some of the most tender singing they ever did. And yeah, I always kinda thought the stripped down Smile was kinda like a mirror of Party in a way...which makes me wish Brian did more of a Pet Sounds approach to the Wild Honey material (following up the more sparse album with a big production album).


Title: Re: 2017 copyright extension release details?
Post by: HeyJude on December 08, 2017, 11:01:57 AM
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall that some if not most of the live '67 shows outside of the Hawaii gigs were captured as live house mixes, and not on multi-track.

High-rez version can only sound better, but I would imagine unlike the studio stuff, that live stuff not freshly mixed from multitracks won't sound mind-bogglingly better in high-rez.

Still haven't been able to fully dig into this stuff yet, but the "Sunshine Tomorrow 2" set is majorly impressive. The vocals-only mix and other stripped down mixes are revelatory. Just like the other stuff on the first "Sunshine Tomorrow" set, all kinds of interesting things previously difficult to discern.

So cool to hear the run throughs of "Whistle In" and "Lord's Prayer" in the Hawaii rehearsals! Although not much there vocally on the latter, it's awesome to hear Brian recalling the arrangement in it's entirety as indicated by the organ run through.

Also fascinating to hear a still very-Pet Soundsy-sounding Brian take a stab at the lead on "Wouldn't It Be Nice", only to give up a few lines in.

Wonder why no one interjected with a "f*ck that Brian, you gotta sing it! you sound great!".

If by Amazon’s music library you mean streaming service I don’t think you can (and neither from any streaming service like Apple Music or Spotify). If you do want to make a CD copy it’d probably be worth it to buy the album from iTunes or Amazon digital downloading service.

Funny how AGD's every "theory: about the BBs has been proven wrong with these releases.... ::)

You gotta explain this one to me...
Just BW not running the band after SMiLE and Carl being in charge. Plus the Hawaiian shows being total disasters instead of merely being a bit off....

I’m fascinated by the organ riff that leads into the recording of the “Gettin’ Hungry” track. Thankful we get to hear little things like this.

The version of Barbara Ann here is freaking awesome...sounds like something from the White Album

Yeah! My first thought was, "they could have had ANOTHER hit with this!" :lol
I was thinking "no way can this be 1967...someone spliced something in from 1977" the first two times I heard it :lol

Just a little thing called having ears can tell you that Brian was in charge till Friends.  I was suprised it was a revelation to anyone.

Any thoughts on why the boys can't make it through many of the live songs without giggling at the lyrics or the songs?  Particularly the author of many of the lyrics.

One thing that has always bugged me is the fact that the group didn't seem to take their concert performances seriously in the 60's. Sure, they had some great moments. and were a great live group when they wanted to be. But if you listen to the "A Vocal Element" bootleg, somebody is always laughing or making a joke, or even talking during a song. It seems like they didn't really become a serious concert act until Blondie and Ricky joined the group.

This has always frustrated me too. I wonder how common this was for groups of that particular era.

I wonder if the banter of the Beatles' movies of the '60s, the legacy of the Jan & Dean approach, and the popularity of The Monkees TV show pushed them in this direction and the humor was the contemporary version of hip.

I just had a super odd flash of what it would be like to hear the Surfin' '92 version performed live in the Lei'd in Hawaii arrangement.  

Or for that matter, the entire Summer in Paradise album done in the Lei'd in Hawaii arrangement.  

I need some fresh air.

I personally find most of their 60s live work unlistenable.

YES! Used to drive me nuts, in regards to the dialog...made the band appear cheesy which they weren't. Mike was bad at this, but Bruce circa 1970 was too (in one boot, you can hear some members of the audience say derogatory things at the stage while he is speaking because of this)

I wonder if it was originally based out of lack of full self-confidence by Mike in the early years, and this just rubbed off on guys like Bruce around this time that the band would have more reason to be less confident, being their then lack of popularity.  The goofiness and hokey banter just feels like misguided overcompensation or something.

Possibly.  Bruce's problem was that he'd ramble "on and on and on" like he was a track from Looking Back with Love. One boot I heard, he was droning on aND somebody yelled out "Tears in the morning,  ya jerk" or something like that

I love the stripped-down California Girls. Mike's vocal is lovely, so relaxed and intimate. Almost sounds like a missing link between CG and Big Sur.

The Beach Boys occasionally can be heard on recordings defending each other and/or themselves against impatient audience members.

You can just *feel* the audience getting restless during Bruce's performance of "Your Song" on the Fillmore East '71 recording. Bad pick for that particular gig, that's for sure. "Hey, we're gonna do only about a dozen songs on the bill with the Grateful Dead! Let's have Bruce do a solo rendition of "Your Song!"

I think there's another show from the 70s where Mike tries to relatively politely let the audience know that they're going to do the "old stuff" too but to give them a break while they do newer stuff.

I think it's the Nassau Coliseum '79 recording where evidently someone was screaming out for "409" (which hadn't been in the setlist in quite a long time), and Mike leads the band into a quick bit of the song, then stops and Mike says something like "there, now shut up!" half-jokingly. Ironically, within a few years the song actually *was* put back into the setlist.

These two new compilations are awesome! I want to thank everyone that put them together! Your work is great. Thank you for giving this gift to the collectors! Love getting to finally hear Good News even if it is not much!

Does anyone have any backing info on Tune L it is really good almost has a sound like Jimmy Hendrix.

Tune L sounds like an early "California Slide" to me. But that just might be Dennis Wilson's style. Some people on YT are saying it sounds like Sgt Peppers intro.

I'll have to relisten but I remember a discussion about this on the old wheeler board. Hadn't hear this particular clip in many years;tape is somewhere in storage.  The fan sounded annoyed/drunk,  I do remember that much

That's the thing that stood out to me too while listening to this set.  Each performance is littered with at least one member goofing around and throwing off the performance.  Listening to the recordings now it is as if the band had no qualms if the audience heard them at all.  I can see this behavior making sense with The Beatles because the room was filled with one continuous roar of screams thereby drowning out the music completely---but here?  The crowd at the BB shows are for the most part (save the one or two weird 'screams" here and there) are quiet and attentive.  Was this just the band's awkward way of handling being nervous on stage by making it all one big joke? 

On the flip side of all this, I found the live recordings to be quiet an eye opener.  Fascinating to hear them translate these intricate compositions down to a 5-6 piece arrangement.  Their garage band roots coming through very well.  Pretty much each performance of "Graduation Day" is a good listen.  It seemed like the only song they kind of respected in the set.  By the way, who played the rhythm guitar on that?  Carl or Al?  I'd say Carl...?   Also on a few performances, there was nice tickling of the ivories by Daryl Dragon, I think?

Funny to listen to the various performances of "Barbara Ann" as well.  The bit "tried Mary Lou...tried Al Jardine" had apparently run its course by the end of the tour.  It got a big guffaw early on but by the end I think you can clearly hear Al say "Aw, come on!" after Mike does it again.

I found myself listening and thinking, "Just shut up and play already!" Several, several times. I can't imagine how I would have felt if I were actually in the audience for one of these shows. You can see why Lei'd in Hawaii was abandoned, because a lot of the goofing off can't even be edited out to come up with solid performance.
