Title: 1968 Copyright Extension Release Thread
Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on December 12, 2017, 12:41:00 PM
Any thoughts on what we're getting next year? Friends outtakes, obviously, but what else? It's already in stereo, so no remixes. Live shows, of course, but what else?

I could envision them doing a stereo remix of "Friends" even though it already exists in stereo, along the lines of the Pepper remix.

I'm surprised the version of "Friends" with the strings replacing the soaring vocals heard on the SOT set hasn't made it onto some sort of archival release by now.

But honestly, I'm hoping a wider archival program can be implemented soon so that we don't have to wait for each year's 50th anniversary to see more outtakes, and then only from that one year.

Don't wanna wait five more years for "Carry Me Home", etc. Or 12 or more years for the KTSA outtakes that are better than some of the album tracks.

I have a hunch (hopefully) that the long-lost alternate versions of Friends songs, where lyrics were re-rewritten and re-corded years later, will emerge. Unless they are lost forever? I feel like most of the lost stuff eventually shows up (crosses fingers).

Also - probably more stems-type versions, like backing track w/backing vocals only, acapella versions, etc.

Sign me up for any original mono mixes that may be lying around. If there aren't many, let's ask BW to revist the album and provide us a proper mono Friends!

Transcendental Meditation (vocals only) could be really interesting.

How many released, BBs album songs are there where the are a bunch of vocal harmonies, and Brian is the ONLY BB doing all of the singing on the *entire* song?

Would this be the only one? Songs like Caroline, No and Your Summer Dream aren't in the running since there are no harmony vocals.

Wipeout kinda doesn't count in my book; not a real BBs song, plus there's other vocalists on the song. I guess there's the non-album "Beach Boys" song from the late 80s, Barbie. We have the all-Brian Don't Talk intro snippet from the Pet Sounds Sessions, but that was of course never on an actual album. There have been claims of I Just Wasn't Made for These Times being all Brian (even the harmonies), but I thought that was debunked (even prior to the revelation that Denny is likely heard in bits of the lead).

Just for the unusual nature of this song alone, not to mention the fact that it's probably the only released BBs all-Brian harmony song, it should definitely get a vocals-only treatment.

Also... how about some sessions of Murry doing his vocal overdubs on Be Here in the Morning? That must be fascinating to hear. Maybe really awkward to hear the studio chatter too, I wouldn't count on much of it being released unedited. Not to mention hearing some isolated Murry singing vocals, if any exist (not sure if he sung into a separate mic, Mike Love style, or if he got around a single mic with the other Boys). Isolated Murry vox is something I doubt anybody has ever even thought of hearing before.

Lots of possibilities for odd curious on this set.

According to Craig Slowinski in a 2008 issue of ESQ, until the multitracks are scrutinised, there's no definite way to tell if it's Brian solo or Brian and possibly Al on "Transcendental Meditation". Hopefully we'll know for sure this time next year.

20/20 was recorded in '68. So, I think any of that material would be fair game.

... But honestly, I'm hoping a wider archival program can be implemented soon so that we don't have to wait for each year's 50th anniversary to see more outtakes, and then only from that one year.

Don't wanna wait five more years for "Carry Me Home", etc. Or 12 or more years for the KTSA outtakes that are better than some of the album tracks.

I totally agree. Even if it were only expanded to a 3-4 year period. At the risk of losing material, I think an expanded set dedicated to studio recordings between '68-'71 would be ideal (perhaps, disregarding the few CATP sessions in Dec '71-to save for the follow up). But I'm with you, waiting 5 more years for Carry Me Home is tough!!!

Also... how about some sessions of Murry doing his vocal overdubs on Be Here in the Morning? That must be fascinating to hear.

How likely do you think it is that we'll get to hear that 1968 instrumental version of "All I Wanna Do" with the sitar? Also was there ever a recorded version of Passing By with lyrics included? I know they went back and attempted to 'remake' friends after the fact, but it would be cool if they could include it if it exists.

Besides that maybe some Ol' Man River sessions, an instrumental backing track and/or detailed sessions from Busy Doin' Nothin' (really all of the songs, but this one especially, along with Anna Lee the Healer and Little Bird would be my favs), and if they're doing 20/20 stuff: I Went to Sleep, I Can Hear Music, Cotton Fields, and other tracks session outtakes would be cool (though I imagine they would want to save some of that for 2019).

If Friends and 20/20 fit, I would like to hear:
a capella and instrumental tracks (a given)
Even Stephen (The early "Busy doin' Nothin')
All I Wanna Do (Sitar version)
You're as Cool as Cool can Be
Our Happy Home
Transcendental Meditation (early version that has the "Indian Wisdom" section)
Walkin'
Can't Wait Too Long sessions

I'm guessing the part where Mike gets pissed off at Brian's perfectionism and walks out of the session will be edited out. That probably didn't help Brian finish the song.

I want to hear more of what's available of OMR too.

On that note, on Sunshine Tomorrow/2/Live did they edit out Mike's banter about how low Heroes and Villains charted? I honestly haven't listened too much into the live stuff yet.

Yep they did omit it, and while understandably so, it also sort of whitewashes that bit of history in the process. I say that while knowing Brian put Mike up to it. But I certainly don't fault the band or anyone involved for not releasing such an awkward nugget.

On songs only sung by Brian, isn't "I'm Waiting For The Day" one? I always thought he's doing all the backing vocals for the song, I could be wrong though.

As long as the vaults are emptied of all things "We're Together Again", I'll be happy!  At the very least, I hope we'll get a backing track and vocals track.  The same treatment would be great for "Wake the World" as well, but I'm really pulling for "We're Together Again".

The 1968 live shows in the vaults, especially US shows with "Friends" material, could be quite interesting. Unlike the '67 shows on "Live Sunshine", which have circulated for a number of years, none of the '68 shows excerpted on "Made in California" are circulating as far as I know.

Mostly but Carl's doing the lower harmony on the backing "aahhhh"s and Mike chimes in with the "baby don't you know" during the second verse, and also the "NO" responses in the tag but there's no way I would've realised that's not Brian without someone else pointing it out

The track sheets for "I'm Waiting For The Day" seem to indicate that all the vocals are Brian and Mike...meaning it would be Mike, not Carl, singing the lower harmony "aahhh's...and I'm pretty sure it's Brian singing the "baby don't you know" bit.

AGD said he half-jokingly, but actually suggested a release of those tapes (which still apparently exist, both "performance takes"), and unsurprisingly the powers that be said nope.  It still blows my mind that Dennis slyly released the very first celebrity sex tape.  It may sound crass, but I'm legitimately surprised that it isn't more recognized as a notable first, because as far as I know it's a legitimate contender for holding that record. Firsts in media are pretty fascinating to me, and new ground was certainly broken!

You definitely know more about this stuff than I do but on the Pet Sounds Sessions a capella mix at the end when everything other than the "ahhhh"s has faded out that's 100% Carl's voice...at least for the end anyway. I can buy Brian doing the "baby don't you know" but if so that's the best Mike impression he ever did.

It's amazing on some sections of Pet Sounds, especially, to find out just how many of those stacked voices are Brian's. he could cover each member's range and would do so, especially in 66-67.

The third vocal OD by Mike is when the "Baby Don't You Know" and the "No!" and "Uh Huh" interjections in the tag were recorded, as well as some unused stuff in the middle.  This can be heard crystal clear on the SOT bootleg.  It's definitely him.  Also I've never seen (or heard) any convincing evidence that Brian is doing all of the backing vocals, though I concede that he might have done most of them.  Wouldn't there have to be a tape bounce done before the lead vocal was recorded for that to be the case?

According to AGD's site, another track called "The Gong" was recorded on November 16th, but I'm fairly certain it's just the intro to "Never Learn Not to Love". Also, if there were any vocals ever recorded for "Mona Kana", throw 'em on there as well.

If all we got for Can't Wait Too Long was a "2018 Stereo Remix" and "Sections," I would be very disappointed, and would not buy it.  Why can't they make a legitimate attempt to compile a best-guess version of the final song?

They did. The only piece of CWTL we haven't gotten is what sounds like a '68 rerecording of the same arrangement that appears on Sunshine Tomorrow.

We don't know whether any other pieces are out there but unbooted.  And I'm not just looking for the pieces.  The song deserves a comprehensive construction rather than the half-hearted attempts of the past.

I'm getting the feeling that we ain't getting a physical release of any unreleased 1968 material this year. The summer was taken over by the useless orchestral disc and it's getting a little late for the classic fall release that would usually come in like October or November. So unless we hear some news soon, I'd assume we will only be getting a December copyright dump in digital only format. Which I admit I wouldn't be heartbroken over, as it's the music that matters to me, but I wouldn't mind that if the stuff gets released, it gets an actual physical release.

How about a December copyright dump in digital-only format, followed up next year with a multi-CD release of 1968 and 1969 recordings together, excluding material that should/could add to an expanded Sunflower recording in 2020?

I would say the most important tracks they could include on this upcoming compilation album are the 1970s "Friends" remakes, which Brian was persuaded to reclaim his legacy with during that period. If these are kept in the vaults for some reason, it would be devastating. Also hoping for the "America, I Know You" backing track and those "Friends" Desper remixes that are on his website, but polished up for a commercial release.

Just 'cause it's part of this list doesn't mean it's been heard or seen by anyone in decades...all of the Friends rewrites mentioned here AND "Song For God" are described from the recollections of Stanley Shapiro, who was involved with or otherwise there to hear them in the '70s. They could very well have disappeared/been stolen long before the dawn of the digital age.

Oh man, I always wish someone would do some subtle behind the scenes of video of filming Brian as he listens to all the music to approve it. Would love to see his reactions to hearing all this stuff he worked so hard on and getting to hear his brothers talking in some of the various studio chatter tracks, has to be quite the emotional experience. I've always been so curious how it happens, does he listen to it with a group of people like Mark Linett and Alan Boyd who he can discuss with, or does he do it alone like when he watched Love & Mercy for the first time? And how much of it does he actually listen to considering there are hours of material released every year now, especially something like Live Sunshine that was 6 hours of concert material?


Title: Re: 1968 Copyright Extension prediction thread
Post by: HeyJude on October 03, 2018, 07:41:11 AM
Doesn't Brian have a microphone in front of him in those recent studio shots? I assumed he was cutting a vocal (or doing voiceover work?), and simply doing it "direct" from the booth and was sitting because he probably still needs to do even studio work sitting due to his back.

Anything is possible, and the fact that he's sitting with no headphones and no engineer is in sight leaves open the possibility that he's listening rather than recording. (The sheets looks like longer-form paragraphs rather than track listings, but who knows).

I'm pretty sure Brian is doing something more in these studio shots than just listening to 50 year old tapes - for one thing, he would most likely be doing that at Mark's studio, and these shots are definitely from Oceanway Studio A (the old United Studio A). For another thing, members of his band are there in other shots  - there's a shot of Mike D'Amico recording a drum track, and then apparently listening to the playback in the control room. I'd say Brian's into something new here!

Not sure how likely this is, but one thing I wouldn’t mind hearing on this year’s set would be Bluebirds Over the Mountain without the lead guitar. No disrespect to Ed Carter, who certainly knew how to handle his business, but I never felt the rock style of guitar worked in this particular song. Always suspected I might like it more if there were a version sans lead. Just one man's opinion, of course.

Still no info on this and it apparently comes out next month? Jeez.

The general pattern for the "copyright extension" digital releases has been that little or no info (e.g. track listings) is announced before the "release date." This goes all the way back to the 2013 "Big Beat '63" set, and then the '64 studio and live sets, and the '65 and '66 live sets.

For instance, last year, it looks like both the "Sunshine Tomorrow 2" and "Live Sunshine" collections came out on December 8th, and it was only about a week prior that titles and general descriptions (nature of the tracks and total number, but not track listings) started floating around. It really wasn't until it started going up for sale in various international territories that we got the full track listings.

Last I heard, the '68 sets might hit in later December rather than early, so I wouldn't necessarily expect a ton of info prior to later into December, and we may not see actual track listings until the sets actually start hitting online shops for purchase.

The thing that stands out most about the new '68 material is how untouched by contemporary influences Brian is throughout. Sans a few instances where you can pick up a decidedly Bacharach vibe -- this music is pure Brian. He was going somewhere pretty unique before the "pause." On the other hand, the Dennis music -- and there is A LOT of it -- shows him blossoming in real time, feeling his way through. REALLY powerful stuff -- also devoid of any contemporary influences. Eerily, this music feels very modern. The overriding feeling I get is akin to when McCartney caught up to Lennon at Rubber Soul and Revolver. This BB period has two leaders pretty much creating a quality of work that's neck and neck with each other. It's arguably the one and only time it went down like this. I'm blown away by this stuff, probably more so than I was by the '67 stash.

The thing that stands out most about the new '68 material is how untouched by contemporary influences Brian is throughout. Sans a few instances where you can pick up a decidedly Bacharach vibe -- this music is pure Brian. He was going somewhere pretty unique before the "pause."

It's been talked on Discord that several new session dates in 1968 were added to Bellagio(http://www.bellagio10452.com/gigs68.html (http://www.bellagio10452.com/gigs68.html)). To quote SaltyMarshmallow over there:

I am firmly of the opinion that during the Friends period and the brief Old Man River period immediately after, Brian was following his muse again ala SMiLE, albeit with some musical contributions from his bandmates here and there that weren't part of the process in 1966/67.

This is not meant to be a knock on the Smiley Smile and Wild Honey albums, both of which are clearly amazing, but to me, Smiley represented a production compromise for Brian while Wild Honey was a stylistic compromise.

To write that I am beyond excited for this release would be understating it. This is almost as big for me as the SMiLE box. I just hope there will be high resolution downloads available, since there won't be a physical release.

That's really interesting, because the impression I tended to get from Dennis during this period was that he was still very Brian influenced on tracks like Little Bird, and that his writing voice wouldn't really fully emerge until a little later on (20/20, which I'm assuming is part of the set too). I thought there was maybe less overlap between them, with Dennis really blossoming as a distinctive songwriter just as Brian withdrew after Old Man River. I definitely look forward to becoming better informed about his early development.

It is absolutely bonkers to me that the band was simultaneously working on two songs with nearly the same title, All I Wanna Do and All I Want To Do. Wazzup with that!?  Different songwriters yes, but I'm sure they all had to be aware of this… Very bizzarre.

I'm just reiterating what others including Howie have said in the past, which is: Is there any other band from the 60s (or any other time for that matter) with *this* much material still in the archives that's so different, new, and of high quality?

Even the *mind-blowing* Beatles sets from '67 and '68 feature stuff that's been booted (albeit now in much better quality), and then alternate takes/mixes of the songs we all know. Again, mind-blowing to see like a half dozen discs of pristine Beatles studio outtakes to see release after all these years, but the BBs have full-on songs and alternate versions and demos and stuff that's BETTER than some of the stuff put on the albums, and it's *still* in the vault.

Didn't think it was possible, but Howie's got me even MORE psyched for the '68 stuff.

And we haven't even dipped a toe in the 70s and 80s outside of scattered tracks on MIC and a few other comps.

It really is crazy. I think it speaks to not only the insane amount of underrated talent in this band, but also the unbelievable mismanagement, where there was nobody to step up and say "this stuff is worth releasing" or "this stuff is clearly better than the stuff you're planning to put on an album". Sort of continually proves Jack Rieley's statement right. Possibly the most accurate, on-the-ball statement that has ever been said about this band from someone on the inside, which simply tells it like it is.

So very grateful that this is all getting released now.

Many, many (Police Academy's Commandant Lassard voice) thanks to Mark and Alan for their hard work. I'm preparing to be floored.

Although Townshend and McCartney have some incredible works that still remain long unreleased, you really couldn't say they trump the contemporary released product. The sheer QUALITY of BB's material, and we're talking songs from demo to master -- all the layers -- to my knowledge (and I've done deep dives through more than a few band vaults) is unprecedented. No other band has what they have. You look at major AOR artists -- Elton, The Band, The Eagles -- there's NOTHING there. In some cases they were stretching just to get enough material to fill an LP. TONS of filler.

Personally, if I owned these masters, I would do a 15-25 disc DUMP of all of this unreleased (1968-1978) material. Redefine the market like the BOOTLEG SERIES did in '91. There wouldn't be a single music rag, blog, or website that wouldn't automatically give it ANTHOLOGY-like press. You wouldn't have to read about BB's music in expensive fan publications. Real press would EAT IT UP. Film and TV placements would follow, moving the narrative past the tents, bedroom years, and shitt ily written Christmas tour articles. With so little effort, EVERYTHING could change.

EVERYTHING.
And all because of outtakes.

I was thinking as I was writing that McCartney might be a partial exception, because there is, beyond the reams of boots, a whole other layer of McCartney stuff that we don't even *know* about. He has squeaked out a few such items on his "Archive Collection" sets. While those sets seem to have been mainly programmed to collate stuff that has been booted and release in pristine quality, he has also dabbled in stuff even the scholars seemingly didn't *know* about. Like just all of a sudden producing nearly an entire studio album's worth of *studio* version of his Elvis Costello collaborations (along with pristine versions of the legendary demos). He does have more stuff like that.

The quality of some of that stuff would rival 70s and 80s BB stuff, but the difference is indeed that even the really good McCartney outtakes usually aren't miles *ahead* of what he put out officially, especially the best stuff. Conversely, the BBs released "When Girls Get Together" but left "Can't Wait Too Long" and "Carry Me Home" on the cutting room floor.

I don't know if the usual media outlets are going to think a thousand times better of McCartney's "Tug of War" if he puts more heretofore-unknown outtakes out from those sessions. But the BB archival stuff is truly *narrative-changing* as Howie has said.

And, after the 25+ discs of BB studio material, another untapped resource is tons of great live stuff. Why perhaps the most well-traveled touring band of the last 50 years doesn't have a 10-disc box of the best stuff is inexplicable. That little live taste at the end of "Made in California?" There's like easily a dozen discs of that. They could even cull interesting stuff from the 90s when the band was often on autopilot.

Agreed....The fact that some of the terrible stuff like "Girls Get Together" or most of M.I.U's lightweight crap was put out but stuff like "My Love Lives On" and "Oh Lord" and "4th Of July" never were put on albums or not until 30+ years on MIC which only hardcore fans would ever hear is sad and agree it makes the Jack Riely quote seem very accurate.

Seriously, I think  a partial explanation for the fact that some of the "weak" material got released while some of the "strong" stuff was left behind is that the guys all loved recording but hated the fight that would take place when it came time to pick which songs would make it onto albums.  I recall Mike saying, many years ago, when asked how the band decided which member's songs would get released, "whoever screams the loudest!"  Thus, "Sumahama" was on our turntables, like it or not...

Brian tried remaking some of the songs on Friends in the early 70s with Stanley Shapiro and Tandyn Almer but the whole idea was never completed. I think they only got as far as making demos.

I've never heard about this. What's it about?

"By the early 1970s, Wilson's reputation suffered as a result of his eccentricities of lore, and he quickly became known as a commercial has-been which record labels feared.[31] When friend Stanley Shapiro persuaded Wilson to rewrite and rerecord a number of Beach Boys songs in order to reclaim his legacy, he contacted fellow songwriter Tandyn Almer for support. The trio then spent a month reworking cuts from the Beach Boys' Friends album.[32] As Shapiro handed demo tapes to A&M Records executives, they found the product favorable before they learned of Wilson and Almer's involvement, and proceeded to veto the idea"

From http://www.wikiwand.com/en/The_Beach_Boys_bootleg_recordings#/citenoteFOOTNOTEBadman200426634

Not sure if we'll get it since it's not from '68 but it would be pretty cool to hear these if they still exist.

Hey -I actually like "When Girls Get Together"...

It has grown on me to some degree over the years, and I think in the context of the "Sunflower" era it feels a bit more "right" to me than plopped on an already-problematic KTSA album in 1980. A lot of the KTSA album plods and sounds rather limp. "When Girls..." doesn't help *that* aspect of the album.

Some members of the band clearly had some affinity for the song, as they had previously done a mix of the song in the "15 Big Ones" era as well apparently.

Let's also hope that some sort of ramped-up online archival program might still be possible so that we wouldn't have to wait until 2025 to hear 1975 material.

While not obviously anywhere near all A-list material, there is a ton of later 70s and 80s unreleased stuff that can even change *that* part of the narrative. I don't know if they should wait another decade to release "LA (Light Album)" era outtakes, etc. BB fans are not exactly getting younger.

Was the band in 1970 consciously trying to attempt some kind of pro-feminist (girls rule! even in ways that have nothing to do with looks!) type of song as a response to the leering "California Girls" image they'd gotten stereotyped with so profoundly?

Also, the instrumental break at 1:04 to 1:08 always sounded like some sort of NBC network promo card/logo music that accidentally wandered its way into a Beach Boys track.

Any chance of the '70s Friends remakes making this release? That would be awesome but the new potential track info is already incredible!
Nope. Tapes were stolen a while back from what I've heard.

"When Girls Get Together" is at its best when its just "doo doo doo doo doo doo".  Otherwise the phrasing is awkward.  This is one of those songs that gets stuck in my head for no apparent reason. 

Thanks to everyone involved in getting these archival releases out into the open, I join the excited masses on here!!!

"When Girls..." is dull. It didn't work in KTSA & especially would be despised in Sunflower. Same level as "Tears".

I think Tears is a good song conceptually, and I like the sappy backing track, but I don't like the lyrics or the melody. I actually like WGGT, but I don't like how it was handled on KTSA. The track presented on the Landlocked bootleg sounds better. I do think the production is a little sparse though.

As I wait for it to be December 7th here, I'm wondering why not issue a press release ahead of time. Even just a few days or week prior? It's streaming in parts of the world right now, yet not announced? Nothing on beachboys.com yet. I see they did the same thing last year, announcing Sunshine Tomorrow 2 and Live Sunshine the day of release (December 8th). Whatever... can't wait to hear these releases!!!


Title: Re: 1968 Copyright Extension prediction thread
Post by: Jim V. on December 06, 2018, 08:17:07 AM
So the most exciting things (for me) just by looking at the titles are as following...

"Passing By - Demo": is this the 1972 recording with lyrics? If so, then I am super pumped for this one.

"Child Is Father Of The Man - Original 1966 Track Mix": been waiting on this one for a while. Don't know why it didn't get put on The SMiLE Sessions or a 1966 copyright set but whatever. I'm cool. Odd that they didn't position it with "Little Bird" on the track listing though to highlight the similarities.

"I'm Confessin'/You're As Cool As Can Be 1": I'm intrigued to see what this is. It's a Brian thing right?

Also, "Our New Home", "Rock And Roll Woman" (just judging by the live video clips that I watched years ago), "Walk On By - 2018 Mix" (probably something like the alternate, extended "Lonely Days", right?) and "Been Way Too Long - Sections" have really got me intrigued.

Super excited for tomorrow!

Having not heard it yet, I'm guessing "I'm Confessin'" is an old song. Frank Ifield recorded a version of it in the early '60s.

Agree. Btw, "spoiler alert"/ "spoiler" disclaimer NEVER works, people still will look, they're curious. & I find "spoiler" really useless trendy term since what's there to spoil, it's not like we hear songs automatically when we see song titles. Ditto with movies etc.

Well, there is the early alternate version ("Even Steven"), plus the really cool, previously unreleased track "Be Here In The Morning Darling" (track 24), which is almost as good (if not better)!

HOLY LORD  :o  :o  :o

so grateful right now


I'm amazed how off the radar this release is. nothing coming up on google, no press release, zilch. and this stuff is AMAZING
if you're having trouble finding the discs, try entering the actual titles: Wake The World: The Friends Sessions and I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions. they should both come right up on itunes and amazon. spotify too

happy listening all! merry christmas indeed

The track "Untitled 1/25/68" is the same song as "Tune L"(albeit a different recording of it). Interesting.  ;D The big take away I keep getting from the 20/20 sessions is how much of a creative force Dennis is already, perhaps quite a bit earlier than we had imagined.

Man Brian’s voice was rough as hell on the Passing by with vocals. My theory about his voice change starting around 1971 is looking more and more accurate. His husky vocal on He Come Down is not as much of a outlier as I thought before

I love how they covered everything in these releases! Acapellas, Backing Tracks, Custom Mixes such as on Do It Again the Alternate Stereo Mix, giving us the final Sections of Been Way To Long/Can't Wait Too Long, Unreleased Tracks and even things like the 1966 Track Mix for CIFOTM.
Some interesting things so far I noticed were Dennis's All I Want To Do really was his song, Lead Vocal and all! Why did he give it to Mike? Only two things I noticed was missing was a Backing Track for Do It Again and Busy Doin Nothin' minor gripes. I must say Dennis was becoming like Brian, very experimental with things like the Gong Sessions and even the Mona Kana demo with the Moog, I love it!

An attempt at the 1971 "Passing By" lyrics:

Somewhere along the avenue
I stopped to have a look at you
said "hi" as you were just passing by

And as I drove you home with me
a feeling rolling over me
said you were more than just passing by (?)

Warm nights, quiet nights
nights of livid dreams
so close you were to be all i ever needed

Somehow I thought I something-something-something
You stay and build a nest with me
I didn't guess you were just passing by

And as your distance seemed to grow
I've come to really miss you so
All hurt I wish was just passing by

Warm nights, quiet nights
nights of livid dreams
so close you were to be all i ever needed

I guess i am still in love with you
I'll always stay in love with you
I guess I'm still in love with you
I'll always stay in love with you (fade-out)

Thanks for writing down the Passing By lyrics!
My comments:


Warm nights, quiet nights
nights of livid dreams
so close you were to be all i ever needed
  // in the first bridge I hear "so close to me to be all I ever needed"


Could this verse be:

Somehow I thought I feel the need (?)
You stay and build a nest with me
I didn't guess you were just passing by

So we get the shitty pointless cash grab orchestra album on cd/vinyl and digital but this we get only digital? Yea I’m passing yet again. I want the physical copy!



Title: Re: 1968 Copyright Extension prediction thread
Post by: Freddie French-Pounce on December 07, 2018, 03:42:19 AM
The “issue” with trying to say these should be physical discounts the fact that these two sets exceed the time limit of to CDs - I’d rather have all the material digitally, than miss out on some physically. Obviously I’d love a multi CD physical though.

I twirling around wherever I am! Im truly lucky to be able to live in this second golden age of the beach boys. I'll always be thankful to all of you guys in the forums, if it wasnt for you and everyone's enthustiasm, these wonderful guys who made this possibly might've not done it in the beginning.

The early version of All I Wanna Do had me in tears. I thought I would never be able to hear this piece of art only a few before have been able to hear, yet here I Am. It was better than I could imagine

"Be Here in The Morning Darling"'s start is very, very alike "Polytheme Pam"'s start. This got me startled.

Even Steven is so groovy! Is it wrong to call it a samba-version of this (otherwise) Bosa-Nova song?

Even though it was pleasant to hear the lyrics to Passing By sung by Brian, they made the right decission to leave em out.

Do It Again got their best stereo-version right here

The only thing that I got a bit disappointed by was that the "original" version of Walk on by, released on the 2-fer, didn't quite see the light in here as well. It was a pleasure to here the new mix, but I'd really want the "original" in spotify.

Doesn't stop me to really live in this moment though! Again, I cant articulate how meaningful this is.

The “issue” with trying to say these should be physical discounts the fact that these two sets exceed the time limit of to CDs - I’d rather have all the material digitally, than miss out on some physically. Obviously I’d love a multi CD physical though.

The Friends set comes out to a little over an hour, the 20/20 far exceeds 80 minutes.

With the 16/44 files from Qobuz, I still wanted to make CDs for when I'm on the go.

For the Friends CD, I added I Went to Sleep, Walk On By and the Old Man River sessions to almost fill up the CD.

For the 20/20 CD, in addition to omitting the tracks I was able to fit on the Friends set, I removed the Bluebird tracks (don't care for the song) and the last two with non BB lead vocals, and it fit.

So I was able to fit 67 / 72 tracks on my 2 CDs. Not bad.

The track "Untitled 1/25/68" is the same song as "Tune L"(albeit a different recording of it). Interesting.  ;D The big take away I keep getting from the 20/20 sessions is how much of a creative force Dennis is already, perhaps quite a bit earlier than we had imagined.

Dennis really comes across as a creative force in these sessions. His demoes dominate the track listing!

- IF POSSIBLE, SWITCH TO A COUNTRY WHOSE NATIVE LANGUAGE YOU UNDERSTAND!!!
- Create an account at QoBuz - if it thinks you're in a different country, it will let you.
- At this point, it's safe to kill your VPN connection.
- Download away!

FYI, they didn't leave them out (of the original album mix), because they weren't recorded until 1971-ish.

A few random thoughts...

"Even Steven" is great. For whatever reason, "Busy Doin' Nothin'" has never been a favorite of mine, but this one just works for me. Really doesn't make sense as they are so similar, but whatever.

"Be Here In The Morning Darling" is wonderful. What is it? Is it an entirely different thing from "Be Here In The Morning"? Or is it a totally different backing track that the same lyrics were supposed to be applied to?

"Been Way Too Long (Sections)" is as awesome as I'd hoped for. Brian was truly in the zone with this tune and it's a shame that it was never truly finished. But what we have from it is amazing and maybe the mystery of never knowing what it quite coulda been works for it in the same way that it does for things like The Beach Boys versions of "Do You Like Worms" and "Child Is Father Of The Man" and this basically leaves them just fine in the form they are now in.

Listening to Brian's chord progressions on things like "I'm Confessin'", "You're As Cool As Can Be" and "Our New Home" never gets old. I wouldn't be mad if there were 500 more things like this in the vault. I still enjoy things like things like "Da Da" and "Heroes And Villains: All Day" from The SMiLE Sessions and "Hide Go Seek" and "Honey Get Home" from Sunshine Tomorrow. Brian at the keyboard pounding out chords just hits the spot for me.

"Passing By" from the legendary re-write sessions is definitely fascinating. Is it good? Yeah. Is it better than what was on the Friends album? In my opinion right at this moment? No. Still glad though to hear a 1971 Brian Wilson lead vocal though. And glad to hear those lyrics. I have to assume though, that the 1971 re-written versions of "Wake The World", "Friends" and "Be Still" have been lost though cuz otherwise they'd have probably been on here too. Also must say how odd it is that Brian wanted to do new versions of songs from one of the group's least successful albums sales wise. Perhaps he just thought that at least those four songs deserved another chance to be heard? Who knows? Also weird that one of the re-writes is of a Dennis song.

Too bad they never finished working on "Rock And Roll Woman" as I think that song was one that works really well for The Beach Boys.

All the Denny stuff is super cool too. Do I ever need to hear whatever "The Gong" is ever again? I'm not sure about that.  ;D

I've only had a chance to dip my toe into this stuff so far, but it's as mind-blowing as promised. Thanks to Alan Boyd, Mark Linett, Howie Edelson, and everybody else who made this thing happen. They're fighting the good fight for the Beach Boys archives, which as we've discussed (and continues to be proved) is the most impressive repository of amazing wholly unreleased recorded material that likely exists. And they're still turning up stuff we didn't even know existed, like that "Passing By" rewrite.

And think about it, we haven't even hit the 70s yet.....

"I'm Confessin'/You're As Cool As Can Be 1": I'm intrigued to see what this is. It's a Brian thing right?

Having not heard it yet, I'm guessing "I'm Confessin'" is an old song. Frank Ifield recorded a version of it in the early '60s.

I didn't know the Ifield song, but having looked it up on Youtube and had a listen, I don't think the song on the 1968 BB set is a cover of Frank's tune. Unless Brian decided he was gonna REALLY f**k with the chords in his version! Also, the credits on Spotify mark it to 'Brian Wilson'. So I think it was an original. And the interesting chords certainly sound like something Brian would come up with during this period. When I first listened yesterday, and as with my first listen to 'Summer Means New Love' years back, I kept going 'OK, I know where THIS progression is going'... and getting it totally wrong. Listening to it was a lovely series of surprises!    :-D

The puzzle remains why the Beach Boys never returned to this stuff later, even if they never got 'I'm Confessing' finished in time for Friends. They were scraping the barrel for Brian compositions a few years later... why didn't they take another look at primo material like this?

One valid reason is that styles change as the years go by... and I can see why, say the 60s lounge of 'Be Here In The Morning Darling' would have seemed a bit passé on a BB release in, say, 1972... but if the Beach Boys did worry about this kind of thing, it didn't stop them putting out 'Suzie Cincinnati' multiple times throughout the course of the 70s... a decade not known for being particularly static in terms of prevailing musical styles in the pop idiom. Or using 'Good Time' unaltered six or seven years after it was recorded. Or releasing 'When Girls Get Together' about a DECADE after it was recorded!!

As usual, it's hard to disagree with Jack Rieley's assessment: "To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it..." Amazing, world-beating songwriters and vocalists... lousy releasers of records.

Murry unofficially co-produced the "Meant For You" session, along with a few other Friends tracks like "Ann Lee" and "Transcendental Mediation". He also sang the low bass note on "Be Here In The Morning", so he likely co-produced that one, as well.

The back-and-forth reminded me of the Rhonda session, as brief as it is presented here. Nothing changed in 3 years, and I cringed when Murry said "Brian..." over the talkback. Typical Brian reply too.

Fascinating. I'll say this for Murry: he helped get one of Mike's very best vocal performances (maybe even Mike's best) out of him.

2. Depends on the track, and the voice - sometimes it's Steve Desper, but on "Meant For You", it's engineer Jim Lockert calling out the take number, and Murry is the other control room voice ("Brian...try better").

And Brian praising Audree on "Dixie"..... I just have something in my eye.
is that really Audree singing?  Her voice is so beautiful!  Is this the first time we've heard a recording of her?  It's so obvious how Brian was influenced by her musically, hearing that at home while growing up. 

Oh yeah, it's definitely Audree. She sings backup on "Barbie" by Kenny & The Cadets, and of course there are recordings of her speaking, but this is her solo singing debut!

Meant For You (Alternate Version With Session Intro) - Is that Murry Wilson critiquing Brian's vocal over the talkback? Sounds like him. Shades of the Rhonda tape perhaps?


Murry unofficially co-produced the "Meant For You" session, along with a few other Friends tracks like "Ann Lee" and "Transcendental Mediation". He also sang the low bass note on "Be Here In The Morning", so he likely co-produced that one, as well.


And there's that interview with Carl (I think it was on one of those radio specials) where he says something to the effect that Friends (doesn't specify if he's referring to the single or the album) was basically "Brian and our dad."

I don't hear "Forever" in "Love Affair" at all. But I do hear quite a bit of "Barbara" in it. The "now, now, now" part in "Love Affair" became "I love you, I love you, I love you" in Barbara.

A remix of the "live in London" shows, with audibles guitar solos would be great! Like they did for"all I want to do", in the "MIC boxset" compared to the "rarities" version!

the lyric there is:

there's more to the song than what Brian went with, but I love his take on this great American standard.


I figured it was probably Al on steel but can't figure out the "shimmery" effect he's using/getting. could be processed by Brian after the fact? this part is basically inaudible on the released version:

Sounds like a volume pedal on the steel.

most steel players use a volume pedal. I don't hear that so much as an effect on the steel, likely a low-speed Leslie. and what a cool sound it is

as for the lyrics, I think this is what we got:


PASSING BY (1971)

Somewhere along the avenue
I stopped to have a look at you
Said "hi" as you were just passing by

And as I drove you home with me
A feeling rolling over me
Said you were more than just passing by

Warm nights, quiet nights
Nights of living dreams
So close you were to being all I ever needed

Somehow I thought I'd fill the need
You'd stay and build a nest with me
I didn't guess you're just passing by

And as your distance seemed to grow
I've come to really miss you so
A hurt I wish was just passing by

Warm nights, quiet nights
Nights of living dreams
So close you were to being all I ever needed

I guess I'm still in love with you
I'll always stay in love with you
I guess I'm still in love with you
I'll always stay in love with you

I'm blown away by the alternate "Bluebirds Over the Mountain"! It's sounds like a brand new song. Not sure that it would have performed any better as a single at the time, but I definitely prefer this version, by far.

And there's so much other great material here as well. While I hoped we'd get Brian's '66 "Child" mix at some point, I was starting to doubt it would ever be released. And, of course, the "I'm In Great Shape" snippet at the end was another mind blower! Do we have any confirmation on the source for that? IIRC, Mark (or someone else in the know), mentioned the buyer of the Durrie Parks acetates denied their request to make a copy. Am I misremembering here, or did another copy surface? At any rate, I want to express my sincere thanks to Howie, Alan, Mark and everyone else that made this happen!

I'm curious to know the reasoning why Mike was chosen as the lead vocalist over the original Dennis vocal.  Mike's is sorta interesting, unlike anything else he's ever done, but objectively I just don't think it's as strong as Denny's, and I wonder if Denny just didn't have the self confidence to release that type of vocal for himself at that point, or what the reason was.

On the newly released take 2 with Dennis singing, there is actually a part from Mike that ended up on the released version, so I wonder if Mike was always going to be featured on the song somehow.

Well, actually Dennis is struggling to get this song right. Mike's voice (or technique) in that range is much fuller and strong, so I can see why he got the lead on that. While I like Dennis', it is certainly not as direct and in-your-face as Mike's.

Outside of the aformentioned Qobuz VPN loophole the only place in the US that they're currently available in FLAC that I'm aware of is the TIDAL store. $25.19 for Wake The World and $34.19 for I Can Hear Music.

Also they're not going to appear on 7Digital anytime soon. They haven't updated the albums available since last month, and when I contacted them about this they said that they have no plans to add anything more for the foreseeable future.

Child is the father of the man! ;D

What is most striking about this song being on this release: It reminds me so much of the backing track for some Friends songs. I mean, I know part of CIFOTM is in Little Bird, but the SMiLE music style is ever present in these Friends tracks. With Friends Brian regains some of that child-like magic he had in SMiLE, it still seems like a smaller production comparatively but it regains some of that sunshine that is glaringly missing from Smiley Smile.

So when I hear CIFOTM at the end of this set, it doesn't stick out much at all, it kinda fits right in there.

Agree with you both.  Fascinating to hear the new Dennis lead vocal.  His vocal sits very nicely on it--the feel and weight of his voice--everything clicks together.  But does it have the full punch this song needs?  Mike brings a palpable kinetic energy that I think locks in the song.  Had the key been lowered a step or so maybe some of those high notes would have worked better for Mike.  I do like Mike's "babaayy!" on the choruses. 

I'm glad I have both versions now and I'm sure I'll now always think about "the other cool version" whenever I'm listening to either one of them.

I haven’t read through the whole thread so I don’t know if anyone else has said it but man, Dennis’s vocal on “All I Want to Do” is far superior to Mike.  Should have put this version on the original album! https://youtu.be/5OK0rEvqHDQ

I'm curious to know the reasoning why Mike was chosen as the lead vocalist over the original Dennis vocal.  Mike's is sorta interesting, unlike anything else he's ever done, but objectively I just don't think it's as strong as Denny's, and I wonder if Denny just didn't have the self confidence to release that type of vocal for himself at that point, or what the reason was.
On the newly released take 2 with Dennis singing, there is actually a part from Mike that ended up on the released version, so I wonder if Mike was always going to be featured on the song somehow.

It's funny you say that because I swore I heard Mike after listening to it a few times, and I thought if I mentioned it here I would be told I was going crazy

I went to the I to the I Tunes store and found 'I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions' is OUT NOW!  I was shocked
My question is will this be out on CD ?  Or just streaming  ??? :thewilsons
Thank you, Billy, to combine Surfer's thread with this, main CE thread. To answer Surfer's question, it's digital download. At page 11 read instructions to do it.

Sth. to say about the press talk up et al - let's not make big deal. If the sessions didn't get announcement, it definitely isn't end of the world. Just take for granted that fact & enjoy listening to BBs' new collections.

On those lines...any info on the 1980 version? Was it attempted or was it just rumored?

Definitely attempted (I have the AFM sheet). But there was an just instrumental track, no vocals, recorded immediately after the KTSA sessions. However, it may or may not have actually been intended for The Beach Boys. It could possibly have been done for The Captain and Tennille, as it was recorded at Rumbo by their engineer at the time.

I'm blown away by the alternate "Bluebirds Over the Mountain"! It's sounds like a brand new song. Not sure that it would have performed any better as a single at the time, but I definitely prefer this version, by far.

My girlfriend is not usually a fan of the BB (though she loves Good Vibrations and Vega-tables among others), so much to my surprise I was just listening to the alternate Bluebirds Over The Mountain and she came in the room when it finished asking what song was that?  When I told her she was really surprised that it was The Beach Boys!  Pretty cool!

If anyone was curious about the evolution of Even Steven to Busy Doin' Nothin'...
Brian used the same backing track with some modifications.  Part of the outro was spliced and used as the intro, some of the instrumentation was taken out of the mix, and everything was slowed down by around 8% (a bit more than a semitone).  The vocal for BDN must have been recorded over this new edited backing track, as the vocals on that do not appear to be slowed down.  Here is my approximation of the edits to Even Steven, ignore the slowed down vocals.

He also completely re-recorded the "B" section ("Take all the time you need", etc.), at a slower speed, and edited that in.

Rookie question I'm sure, but I see there are two options: MP3 files and FLAC files. I know I can bring MP3s into ITunes very easily.
How do you listen to FLAC files? Do you need to convert them or something?

Depends on what you are using to listen to them with.  If you're playing them on a phone, then it doesn't matter what they sound like, so mp3 is for you.

I was rather reminded of the instrumental "Pet Sounds", but anyway, this track is so fantastic.

I'd go as far as to say this is the greatest revelation in BB archival releases since Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again  8)

My (windows 10) computer can play flac files just as they are.  But to burn them to CD (or for anything that uses .wav files) you'll need a converter.  I use one called "traders little helper" that is, I believe, free.  The files from 7digital are zipped files, so you'll need to unzip them before you do anything.

Man, these releases are so good. I went into them not expecting all that much - I found Sunshine Tomorrow to be rather thin gruel, sorry to say. But these two are packed with very pleasant surprises. So while I'd take Smiley Smile and Wild Honey most days over Friends and 20/20, I'll take the latter's outtake collections over the former's.

Now that we have eight minutes of Been Way To Long outtakes, do we now have all of the existing sessions for the song? Or is there anything still in the vault? I've been really into this song in the last few days. Actually, I've loved the song ever since I heard it on the Smiley Smile/Wild Honey twofer. But the recent two years of releases have really driven home the fact that to me, it's one of Brian and the group's greatest productions, even in fragmented form.

One thing I'm stuck by this set is you forget just how prolific they were at this time. All these outakes, plus 2 albums, plus they played ~100 shows.

The band did surprisingly really tight readings of "Little Bird" and "Friends" on the 1968 tour.

I'm 100% behind these "dumps" of all the soundboard stuff they have for each of these years.

Now, I think as we continue on to subsequent years, the "Live" set components will get even more interesting of course. I'm still hoping they do something larger-scale with the archives sooner so it doesn't take until the BBs are nearing 90 YEARS OLD to get to "Light Album" or "KTSA" outtakes, etc.

But it'll be interesting to see how live stuff continues to be presented once we hit years in the 70s where there are too many soundboard/multi-tracked live shows to put it *all* out in one big lump.

A quick perusal of the not-always-100%-reliable setlist.fm shows only a few strange 1968 setlist inclusions, mostly or all presumably from shows from which no recordings exist/survive. Note that several of these selections are not full performances but rather quick riffs/teases/partial versions.

The Beach Boys played "Pushin Too Hard"?!?

Sky Saxon was a friend of mine ... we made a recording together once in my little studio, and I had a poster of The Beach Boys (from the '68 tour book actually) on the wall. During this impromptu session, Sky started singing about "Good Vibrations", I always thought that was cool but we never talked about the BB. Cool to see the group liked the Seeds enough to cover them, as I believe there was some mutual admiration there.

Hopefully these live recordings are good. The Lei'd shows and Wild Honey tour felt a little flat, despite a strong set list. We're in for a treat if all the 1968 shows have the quality of Friends and Little Bird from MiC.

That is if the recordings are audible under Mike's incessant talking and ego. As one guy put it well back then, "shut up".

edit: they are really good, especially the later shows. I think making Mike shut up would've been the best on-stage decision they never made.

In hindsight it's easy to understand why this era represented a sort of low-point. Their music, while very beautiful, had a very low commercial appeal (exempting Do It Again and possibly I Can Hear Music), they wore those awful white polyester suits while performing and the few who actually went to their shows had to endure Mike Love. Even Bruce had an insufferable sense of humour. I can't imagine what was going through the audience's minds when at last the Maharishi came on to deliver his 30 minute sermon to close the show....

So many questions!



First off, I'm not sure Kowalski was on the July summer '68 tour - I have an interview where he said that he and Ed Carter joined at the same time, and one of the first places they played was the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, which would make it the August '68 tour. Dennis Dragon once told me that he was on the Maharishi tour, and I think there's a chance that John Guerin may have been on the July tour (which makes sense musically, since they utilized a "big band" - meaning, jazz/swing-style - for that tour, and Guerin had a strong jazz background). Regardless, I tend to think that whoever the percussionist/auxiliary drummer was, he likely drummed only on the two songs for which Dennis was stagefront, those being "Friends" and "Little Bird". Now, on the December '68 U.K. tour, Kowalski was definitely on board, but I'm not sure he had to play the actual drums on anything - Denny had no leads at those shows, so the only possibility in my mind would be if Denny was playing the piano on "All I Want To Do", then obviously Kowalski would have to drum - but I'm not convinced that's the case, and in fact I think it more likely that Dennis just played the drums and Daryl the piano on that song live, like they did for most of the show. Have you ever seen the video of their June '69 Paris show? (it's on YouTube) At that one, Dennis plays the drums throughout the whole set (again, he had no vocal leads), and whoever the percussionist was, he stuck to percussion.

I was there and yes, it was downright awful. While the band was good, Mike conducted his own "sermonettes" between most songs, which no one in the audience cared about. Is there a syndrome in which one is obsessed with spewing one's thoughts and fondness for hearings one's voice? I remember the Maharishi arriving which became one of the biggest pee breaks I've ever seen at a show.

Which songs are Dennis playing drums and which are Kowalski?

So many questions!



First off, I'm not sure Kowalski was on the July summer '68 tour - I have an interview where he said that he and Ed Carter joined at the same time, and one of the first places they played was the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, which would make it the August '68 tour. Dennis Dragon once told me that he was on the Maharishi tour, and I think there's a chance that John Guerin may have been on the July tour (which makes sense musically, since they utilized a "big band" - meaning, jazz/swing-style - for that tour, and Guerin had a strong jazz background). Regardless, I tend to think that whoever the percussionist/auxiliary drummer was, he likely drummed on the two songs for which Dennis was stagefront, those being "Friends" and "Little Bird". Now, on the December '68 U.K. tour, Kowalski was definitely on board, but I'm not sure he had to play the actual drums on anything - Denny had no leads at those shows, so the only possibility in my mind would be if Denny was playing the piano on "All I Want To Do", then obviously Kowalski would have to drum - but I'm not convinced that's the case, and in fact I think it more likely that Dennis just played the drums and Daryl the piano on that song live, like they did for most of the show. Have you ever seen the video of their June '69 Paris show? (it's on YouTube) At that one, Dennis plays the drums throughout the whole set (again, he had no vocal leads), and whoever the percussionist was, he stuck to percussion.

I was at the Steel Pier show in 69. I was very close to the stage and man they were great. I seem to vaguely remember them having a few horns behind the band. For The BBs at the time, there was a good sized crowd. I also remember Carl being pissed that Dennis couldn't get the intro to Breakaway right on the first try.

Hopefully these live recordings are good. The Lei'd shows and Wild Honey tour felt a little flat, despite a strong set list. We're in for a treat if all the 1968 shows have the quality of Friends and Little Bird from MiC.

That is if the recordings are audible under Mike's incessant talking and ego. As one guy put it well back then, "shut up".

edit: they are really good, especially the later shows. I think making Mike shut up would've been the best on-stage decision they never made.

In hindsight it's easy to understand why this era represented a sort of low-point. Their music, while very beautiful, had a very low commercial appeal (exempting Do It Again and possibly I Can Hear Music), they wore those awful white polyester suits while performing and the few who actually went to their shows had to endure Mike Love. Even Bruce had an insufferable sense of humour. I can't imagine what was going through the audience's minds when at last the Maharishi came on to deliver his 30 minute sermon to close the show....

Is there a syndrome in which one is obsessed with spewing one's thoughts and fondness for hearings one's voice? I remember the Maharishi arriving which became one of the biggest pee breaks I've ever seen at a show.

The Maharishi tour was one of the most ill-conceived ideas the band ever had, and at least some people got to hear the band play versus the dates where the few who did show up at the venue found a mostly empty hall and the announcement the show was canceled.

Then you had Lennon and McCartney referencing it on the Tonight Show a few months later, which garnered one of the largest audiences for that show in the 60's, and it didn't bode well for the band who didn't need more bad press after two tours which were basically scotched as soon as they got started.

The shame is the music as usual was rock-solid if not transcendent, and they absolutely didn't need schtick and gimmicks like TM lectures and hundreds of flowers on stage and Mike's sermons to get the audiences into the music itself.

What a bizarre time for the band.

I had no idea John Guerin ever played with the beach boys. Just read about him in the Joni Mithchell biography that came out recently. The musicians she was using weren't getting what she wanted so someone suggested she get jazz musicians and she found him along with the LA Express (also Jaco Pastorious). Her and John were together for a few years and broke up mid-tour and the rest of the tour was cancelled. (sorry if slightly off topic)

He definitely did some sessions for them, starting with overdubs on "Do It Again", and I remember reading something somewhere that led me to believe he also toured with them, however briefly. If so, the summer '68 "big band" tour was the likely time.

I'm really enjoying both the Friends and 20/20 releases. We're definitely very lucky to have such great archivists watching over the BB legacy and I can't wait to see what we get in 2019!

One thing I'm really gleaning from the Friends release is just how much Brian seems to have been involved. I know his input didn't just vanish and that it declined as the 60's became the 70's - but the snippets I'm hearing are of an engaged and enthusiastic Brian.

I can try to answer #1. Alan B., are you still reading? This is the IIGS I heard on one of Durrie's acetates. If this was the source, then I understand. There was a quick search for those acetates back in the day but they weren't found, so it was thought they were no longer in existence. Then in 2012 several acetates were discovered when her storage locker was cleaned out.  So that was obviously after the box set came out.

I listened to all of the acetates, and this IIGS was on one of the H&V acetates. It wasn't the only unique piece on that acetate, so I'm curious as to why the other pieces didn't make it out.

Must say, the sound quality is amazing, especially the Palladium and Finsbury Park. Feels like you are on stage with the band ( and those UK shows seem best IMO because the support musicans add such a lot and the BB sing sooooo well ).

If these recordings reveal anything to me, it's the clear necessity for a complete remix of the Friends album. The mixing on several tracks, notably the title track and Little Bird is really unbalanced and muddy when compared to these released backing tracks.

I love most of Brian's singing on it, but those "it's cooool!" Brian-sung vocal parts in the Transcendental Meditation a capella track are... interesting  :lol

Not that those parts don't have their charm, but I was playing this new set on Spotify over nice speakers for a friend (who's a casual BBs fan that I'm trying to convert to more of a fan of their deeper cuts), and I had to do quite a bit of explanation about that song and Brian's quirkiness in general when those parts came on. My friend's eyes bugged out when she first heard the "it's cooool" parts.  :o

Just for this song alone, I'd have to disagree that it's Brian Wilson’s best singing on an album. IMHO. But for other Friends tracks though I'd agree that Brian sounds really awesome.

Side note: I wonder if Transcendental Meditation with all the stacked Brian voices was intended as a temp guide track (much like the stacked Brians on the Don't Talk unused intro), and if Brian had intended for The Boys to replace his vocals, but just said screw it and kept his own.

I kinda like it too, but in a "that's such a funny/rad little Brian bit" type of way, not in an "it's actually objectively good" kind of way  :lol  It's almost a precursor of Brian's Love You wacky type of things that he threw into songs in later years, but it's hard to compare the "it's cool" vocal (admittedly, just a small part of one song) to his flawless vocals on albums like Pet Sounds. But yeah, it's all just opinion!

I didn't play her the whole set, just parts of it, but she was definitely impressed! I actually can't wait to do a proper sitdown listening party with a BBs friend or two of the whole set. Man oh man I wish this was on vinyl instead of the unnecessary Philharmonic album, but I'm nevertheless extraordinarily grateful this stuff was released at all!

Hey guys,

Wanted to share an updated version of my Passing By extraction mix:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2s5oim60tox0878/Passin%27%20By%20%28Brian%20Vocal%201972%29%20mix%202.mp3?dl=0

I added the intro as added by Brian and co (in 1972?  :))

Also did a little tightening up on the timing editing on Brian's vocals. I'll admit, the editing was pretty intrusive there, but my goal was to make the listening experience as close to hearing what it would've sounded like if Brian took a real stab at it.

Sidenote - please don't read into the 1972 date too deeply. That said, if "Awake" was recorded in late '71 - I'd say there's a chance this is '72. Sounds more like the guy on the intro of "California" than the "Awake" guy. Same time, could've been an off day in '71.

Quick thoughts (and questions) about the "I'm In Great Shape" piece at the end of the Wake The World set...

It sounds like it was mixed by King Tubby. Crazy reverb. Is this actually how it was recorded, like how this was supposed to sound or is this cuz of the condition of the acetate?

Also, where would this fit? It almost sounds as though it could be a link from what we know as "I'm In Great Shape" to "Workshop" in my opinion?

Speaking of the Passing By demo. Did Brian record a whole new track for the demo or did he just overdub his vocals on the original and pitch shift it?

Also, is thisdemo related to the sessions in which Brian together with Stanley Shapiro and Tandyn Almer re-recorded several of the Friends songs (incl. Wake the World, Friends and Be Still)?

Yes.

Do we know what was really the mission of this Wilson/Shapiro/Almer venture? Did they want to get signed as a trio? Did they just wanna shop these songs to get cover versions? Also, of all the songs to "re-write" I wouldn't think it would be Friends tunes, but rather something like "Don't Worry Baby" (though I'm pretty sure Bruce Johnston did such a thing for his California Music band with shall we say....questionable results).

My understanding was that this happened at the behest of A&M, since they now owned the publishing rights (thanks to Murry). The idea was to make the songs marketable for other artists to record, hence lyrics where there were none, and revised lyrics elsehwere. Brian/Stan/Tandyn were NOT trying to get themselves signed as a trio.

This info may have faded with the years, but was there any reason why it was Friends material that the guys worked on instead of, as I said, things like "Don't Worry Baby" and whatnot? Honestly, a lot of the best Beach Boys material wouldn't need a reworking to be covered anyways, but I'm sure you guys (and gals) get what I'm saying here. Was it just that the Friends material was close to Brian's heart with what he perceived to be a lack of attention to it? Cuz it's hard to imagne A&M (or any other company) in 1971 saying, "hey Bri, you wanna work on those songs from that album from the three years ago that didn't sell that well in the first place?"

I've wondered about that, but I really don't have  clue. Stan Shapiro would be a good person to ask, if anyone can get in touch with him.

Quick thoughts (and questions) about the "I'm In Great Shape" piece at the end of the Wake The World set...

It sounds like it was mixed by King Tubby. Crazy reverb. Is this actually how it was recorded, like how this was supposed to sound or is this cuz of the condition of the acetate?

Also, where would this fit? It almost sounds as though it could be a link from what we know as "I'm In Great Shape" to "Workshop" in my opinion?

Believe it was found on a Heroes and Villains acetate. It apparently segues into the original "Children were Raised section."

It was fairly common practice to cover lesser known songs by major artists in the 70's. Any decade, really, but probably peaked in the 70's. Perhaps, as suggested above, to give the impression it was original material without the concern of being immediately recognized.

Hi all.
Loving the discussion, you people are awesome with your dedication and knowledge.
I have one question (sorry if it is a repeat). On three friends session there is a track called 'rock n roll woman'. The riff from this track appears on a song performed live on the 'an American band' video (Brighton England?). Does anybody know the name of this song and does it appear on a studio lp. Again, apologies for my ignorance.

It's a cover of a Buffalo Springfield song called "Rock n Roll Woman". The Beach Boys never did a full studio version.

The best TV game "What's My Line" features dear charming Bennett Cerf as panelist (favorite with my funny gal Arlene Francis :D), Random House Publishing co-founder. He'd written humorous books with puns, iirc played around with title dubbing book "Cerfboard" during the surf craze in the early 60s. Could be different name pun but similar, to be sure.

There actually was a cover of "Don't Worry Baby" with an entirely different verse. I can't for the life of me remember who did it though. I believe it was recorded in the early 70's. I wonder if it was related to this project at all, or if it was just rewritten by one of the members of the group? The verse goes something like this:

"Each morning I awake and see the sunlight, softly shining on her hair
And then I realize I'm wrong in thinking that she really doesn't care
There's magic in her eyes, that makes me come alive when she says...."

Regarding the Live In London recordings, in an interview played recently on BBC Radio 4, following his death, recording engineer Geoff Emerick said that the sound of the London Palladium Beach Boys show that he recorded was terrible as the Beach Boys drummer was too loud. So he recorded the band again at their Finsbury Park Astoria shows and this time put the drummer behind a glass screen and got a perfect recording.

Geoff Emerick best known for his studio work with The Beatles of course

Thank you!  ;D It was driving me crazy. I think this might have been one of the songs for the project. I've found quite a few covers of the song with that verse. B.J. Thomas did a version, Bryan Ferry did one, and Bruce/California Music  did covers of the song with that verse.

That's a very good question, and point to make. I know that The Beatles did one release for the year 1963, and I think Bob Dylan did one release in similar fashion, but I don't know if any other band that's doing it. I dearly wish that The Who would jump on the bandwagon, so to speak.

You're right. I do remember the Bob Dylan one where Columbia put out only like a hundred copies of a copyright-extension release.  .. Only the BBs seems to get a big thoughtful releases (Thank god!)   Rhino already got ahead of the game by re-re-releasing every Monkees album 2-3 times with more tracks each time.
I just don't understand why there's not an epidemic of releases from so many famous bands of the time.

My question is, what happens to all the existing material from bands that have missed the deadline for each year? Do they legally still have a claim to the master tapes and material on said tapes? If a band or artist misses a deadline, but still wants to release some kind of collection of material from a specific year anyway, can they? If you can't tell already, I know next to nothing about the legal angle of things such as these.  :lol

I think this is a fair and interesting question. I'm not sure there's a definitive answer.

Indeed, let's say a band either already knows they have an unreleased recording of an unreleased song from, say, 1964 (or, alternatively, only just now discovers the 1964 recording), and has never released it, then what happens? If they have the only known copy, would they never release the thing because it would be immediately available for anyone to dupe and release because it's outside of copyright?

Having heard all of these 66-68 concert recordings, it’s surprising to me that all that time, they never played the complete version of “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”.  It was always a slightly abbreviated version, cutting the line “You know it seems the more we talk about it, it only makes it worse to live without it”.  I guess they didn’t start including that until the seventies.

There's a concert recording from early '71 (I forget which show, probably Carnegie Hall in February) where they announce that for the past few years, they'd been touring the world playing 3/4 of that song, but now they would do the whole thing - which they did then, and at every point since then.

Yes, the band, if they had a claim to the master tapes before (more often the label has the claim to the master tapes, but can't release them without the band's approval), still have a claim after 50 years.  And yes, if they miss a deadline they can still release a collection from a previous year, but then it's dicey whether or not someone else could rerelease those and not pay royalties or get permission from the band.  But if someone gets a copy of those master tapes and they are more than 50 years old, they can release them as they are now public domain.  By releasing them before the 50 years the copyright is renewed with the new release is my understanding.

And the track “Oh Yeah” — what’s that about?
Linett: My understanding is that the Beach Boys were on tour — I think they just played the Fillmore East in New York — and because there was this sort of mad scramble to finish up the new album, they’d taken their tapes with them and were working on them every chance they got. I guess they did some work at Capitol Studios in New York, and one of the band members happened upon this kid on the street who was doing this kind of rap thing, and they thought, “Oh, man, this is great, we should get him on tape.” They brought him into the studio, gathered the guys around the mic, and had him lay it down. All it says on the tape box is “Oh Yeah.” No indication as to who he is.

That is such a cool story. Imagine being this kid throwing out some words on the street and next you're in a recording studio with one of America's most well loved bands. Would love to know if this kid is still around and if he remembers this.

Also, no live recordings from 1969 in the vaults. Pretty interesting. Really grateful for Alan and Mark's work, and that this set is getting some press. Looking forward to next year's release.

I wonder if any sort of search has ever been conducted to find this kid. This could/should be a scene in a movie or something. I feel like if this ever happened with say, The Beatles, there'd be entire TV special programs dedicated to finding the kid and getting his recollections.

I wonder if any sort of search has ever been conducted to find this kid. This could/should be a scene in a movie or something. I feel like if this ever happened with say, The Beatles, there'd be entire TV special programs dedicated to finding the kid and getting his recollections.

Makes me wonder what stuff other bands did like this that never left the vaults.

I would love to have seen this on their 20/20 album, as some sort of hidden track at the tail end of the album.

New Rolling Stone interview with Alan Boyd and Mark Linett

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/how-the-beach-boys-lost-late-sixties-gems-got-a-second-life-779012/

Thanks Terry!

Quote
And the track “Oh Yeah” — what’s that about?
Linett: My understanding is that the Beach Boys were on tour — I think they just played the Fillmore East in New York — and because there was this sort of mad scramble to finish up the new album, they’d taken their tapes with them and were working on them every chance they got. I guess they did some work at Capitol Studios in New York, and one of the band members happened upon this kid on the street who was doing this kind of rap thing, and they thought, “Oh, man, this is great, we should get him on tape.” They brought him into the studio, gathered the guys around the mic, and had him lay it down. All it says on the tape box is “Oh Yeah.” No indication as to who he is.

That is such a cool story. Imagine being this kid throwing out some words on the street and next you're in a recording studio with one of America's most well loved bands. Would love to know if this kid is still around and if he remembers this.

Also, no live recordings from 1969 in the vaults. Pretty interesting. Really grateful for Alan and Mark's work, and that this set is getting some press. Looking forward to next year's release.

Had that happened, The BBs would probably be legendary for breaking new ground in terms of genre. I'm still not quite sure how to classify the genre of “Oh Yeah”, but it's definitely doing something new for 1969, methinks.

I'd like to think that someone, somewhere, is gonna accidentally access this track in their iTunes when they are intending to select the song by the band Yello (made famous from Ferris Beuller's Day Off)  :lol

Interesting that there aren't any 1969 shows in the vaults, especially after the flurry of '68 shows caught on tape. But I guess the '68 shows surviving might be considered more the anomaly than the other way around.

So I guess that Paris show at the Olympia released on the French website is the only full-length pro-shot/soundboard item around from the '69 tour. I recall some other bits and pieces and a few audience recordings might be around.

What makes you say that they don't have any 1969 shows in the vault? Was that confirmed somewhere? I've seen it claimed that the group has recordings from every year(which makes me curious about the possibility of a 1997 soundboard recording, but that's another topic I guess).

New Rolling Stone interview with Alan Boyd and Mark Linett

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/how-the-beach-boys-lost-late-sixties-gems-got-a-second-life-779012/

Great article and interview! Now THAT is how to get the word out about releases like this. I'm so glad to see RS run this piece so people outside the BB's fan bubble can know it's available. I think sometimes this fanbase exists too much inside its own bubble unless something gets picked up and distributed to outlets like RS.

Re: The article, this section:

>>>>What was Brian’s level of involvement with these sessions originally?
Boyd: Brian was very much involved in Friends — he was still basically running the show. He even finished the album after the boys had left to go on tour. At that point, the Beach Boys were sooo far behind on their contract with Capitol because of that long period of time between Pet Sounds and the eventual release of Smiley Smile. They were still playing catch-up. By the spring of ’68 , an album had to be turned in. Same thing with 20/20 — there was a major flurry of activity to finish that one in time to get it to Capitol before they launched a major tour of Europe. But Brian was very much involved in Friends. He pretty much produced it.

Linett: Even [songs] we’d probably say were co-produced, like Dennis’ “Little Bird,” were still more Brian producing. Not a whole lot different than earlier group recordings. The exception here is there are a lot of session players on the basic tracks, as opposed to Wild Honey and Smiley Smile.<<<<


A very big thank you to Mark and Alan for truly setting the record straight on this specific issue, and doing so in a major music publication. I hope this can be one of the definitive statements of fact on this issue of Brian's involvement in the music, and a validation of sorts for those who had to argue this very fact over the past 15 years or so in various online jousting matches over how involved Brian was in the music from 67-68. Thank you.

I wonder if this would account for the reason Brian sings all the parts on Transcendental Meditation; there HAS to be some logical reason for that.

Was that song recorded last for the album, once The Boys had left for touring?

Yes, exactly - that was the next-to-last track to be recorded for the album, and it was cut on April 4th (the day MLK was gunned down). The following day, the Boys were scheduled to open their tour in Nashville (the gig was cancelled due to MLK's assassination in nearby Memphis). We don't know for sure when the vocals were added to the track, but it was likely when the Boys were out of town. Likewise, Brian finished "Busy Doin' Nothin'" and recorded "Diamond Head" while the Boys were away.

Off the top of my head, other than Transcendental Meditation I cannot think of another "BBs" track that has all Brian harmonies, other than the unreleased Don't Talk intro. (I'm excluding tracks like Caroline, No, since it's just a lead vocal with no harmonies).

Is there another example I'm missing?

Not a 'wall' per se, but he does sing harmony (unlike "Caroline, No"). Beautifully sung!

Yeah...and another one that's close to that is "I'm Waiting For The Day". I used to think that was all Brian, but the track sheets indicate that Mike is singing the bass voice (doubled, I think, by Brian). And of course Mike sang the alternate verse lead that wasn't used on the album.

Another one might be "Wipeout" (although, technically, it does have other vocalists - meaning, The Fat Boys).

Carl too, singing the lower part of the "ahh-be-doo-be-doo" with Brian.

Not sure about that...the track sheet is labeled with only Brian's and Mike's names, so I'm thinking there's no Carl on that one.

And now, Craig, you can truly thank Mark and Alan in their endeavors toward providing both current and future copyright extension releases of this wonderful music by purchasing all three 1968 sets.

To somewhat paraphrase a very popular song from a year prior to these 1968 releases, "it will be worth it, if not only for the benefit of this and future Beach Boys releases from the vault, but for your own peace of mind."

You can hear him at the end of the take in the stack-o-vocals mix though, just by himself for a second. They're singing into the same mic and that's definitely not Mike. Could those vocals have been done at another session?

I'm not sure it isn't Mike, singing in his tenor voice. It lacks the nasality one usually associates with him, but I think that particular quality normally comes into play when he sings higher. If this is his "normal" voice, between the bass or low baritone parts and the higher nasal tone that he's best known for, it could be him.

Next you're gonna tell me that's not Blondie singing Sail On Sailor :P

Seriously though, listen to the harshness on the very start of the "ahhh". It doesn't match up with Mike's vocal style or intonation, even on examples of his lighter mid-range vocals like Aren't You Glad or the Wonderful backing vocals. The voice there sounds at least several years younger than Mike. In fact, the main Wonderful backing vocal part is Mike doing wordless "ahhh"s in pretty much exactly the same range covering a lot of the same notes, and the tone's way off this part in IWFTD.

The nasal waver on the last "ahhh" is what gives away that it's Mike. And I have no idea what you're talking about re: Aren't You Glad and Wonderful because Mike's vocals on there sound exactly as they do here. It doesn't sound like anyone else in the band. I've always heard the "duh duh duh" part as Mike too.

I know I'm "late to the party", but I wanted to post my comments.

I'm an old-timer now, and had never purchased downloadable music until this week.  I got a new phone and, after screwing up several attempts to purchase the new studio sets, finally successfully got them into my hot little phone yesterday.  I want to add my thanks to Mark and Alan for putting this beast together and making it available.

My review is simple - WOW!!!

Especially love the Friends material, it's absolutely breath-takingly gorgeous!  Old Folks at Home/Old Man River, Walk On By, Can't Wait Too Long - HOLY LORD, so much beautiful stuff!  Dennis coming of age, Brian blowing my mind, Carl blossoming - this stuff is indescribably stupendous!  I'm glad to contribute my piddly $35 to the cause!

Thanks a thousand times over!  Makes me want to resurrect my old fanzines!

There's a "life lesson" in these releases.  Sometimes life can get you down, there are times when the future looks bleak and we can get to the point where there may not seem to be much point in the whole mess.  But then something truly wonderful happens, something unexpected, something that seems like a gift from God.  This release is a gift from above, through the hands of Mark, Alan, Howie, and anyone else involved.  We all should appreciate it.

technically the 20/20 sessions digital release last year jumped the 50 year copyright extension gun, since while Friends LP was 1968 (for Wake The World sessions), 20/20 originally was 1969

so now that we're over a month into 2019 what (other) 1969 material still needs such extended copyright protection?  BreakAway

that would seem to be it.  with a stretch one could include the UK 45 single version of Cottonfields which's of course a 1970 release there (recorded in 1969).  the US 45 also is a 1970 release but it's the 20/20 version which's already been covered on the sessions.  over a year went by for them to release it as a single from the album (probably a capitol move, although that doesn't exactly explain why Al went ahead with his revised recording)

so mssrs boyd & linnet could take a breather and give us nothing more until 2020, for the copyright extension release of Sunflower material.  And there's certainly a ton there

With that overload my conjecture is some of it (sunflower)--that which's known to have earlier recording dates--could jump the gun and come out at the end of this year.  while the other half of material would be a 2020 copyright extension release.  that fragments sunflower so maybe they'll scotch my idea.  a quandary with no singularly good answer

p.s.:  it seems confusion could be had between the calendar year 2020, vs. the title of the beach boys album

actually I think it's neither, since recording sessions for a song can span years (cabinessence certainly wasn't entirely 1968)

copyright, or more accurately publishing date are the official base


Title: Re: 1968 Copyright Extension Release Thread
Post by: HeyJude on February 13, 2019, 08:00:29 AM
I don't think the copyright extension issue is that simple. It involves mainly copyrighting of physical recordings, and then the rules pertaining to those also involve those recordings as essentially "work product" towards a copyrighted end product. Technically, only previously unreleased compositions need to be protected. Note that "Big Beat '63" is full of mostly unreleased tracks (e.g. "Thank Him"), and avoids alternate takes of a bunch of 1963 BB songs already found on albums.

When subsequent "copyright extension" releases have gone beyond that prompt and have included alternate takes of familiar, previously-releases songs (this began with the 2014 "Keep and Eye on Summer" collection), they're basically just doing so to make the release more interesting and fleshed-out for fans.

Regarding timing, the easiest solution to avoid any possible hiccups is to beat the 50-year deadline on the song's first sessions.


Title: Re: 1968 Copyright Extension Release Thread
Post by: hideyotsuburaya on February 13, 2019, 01:44:01 PM
copyright of a composition vs. copyright of the recording, an interesting distinction

brings to mind Brians I'M WAITING FOR THE DAY which had a copyright in 1964 but not recorded (for Pet Sounds) until 1966 (with the usual Mike Love tampering with the lyrics).  what was submitted for copyright back in 1964, a title and a written lyric?  probably.  a chord sheet or note chart?  probably not

There's been some minor stuff, but nothing close to official. Some think there could be a Sunflower box set or even a Sunflower / Surf's Up set, which would be awesome. But I don't know. It would be cool to some physical product this year from the guys, but if the best we can get is downloads (a la last years sets) then so be it. I'll be happy to buy the stuff either way!

And I just realized I didn't answer your question. I would say its about 99% sure that we will get at least a 1969 set this year, judging by the copyright sets they've done since 2013 (for the 1963 material).

I recall that in some interview over the past year, Boyd and/or Linett mentioned that there isn't much (if anything) in the BB's vaults as far as 1969 *live* recordings, so I would say indeed we should hopefully be looking at some good studio material as the main release this year.

Yes...I remenber too! And he said that about 1970 too. BUT... we all know about the Big Sur concert of 1070! So... we hope he forgot smoe other shows...

Wouldn't there be a legal issue with release the show, since it was a festival and not primarily a Beach Boys event/concert?

That was the question I was asking to myself...

I would certainly love a SDE of Sunflower/Surf's Up in one set, with all recordings in chronological order, and in vintage mixes where appropriate. However, I'm also a big fan of the 2CD set format, as not only was it physical AND cheap, but it was also cheaper than buying the digital download last year. But I also don't want to miss out on anything... we'll see where we go from here. This material, IMO, demands the vintage mixes as most of the material has come out since in other mixes, though I'm for alt mixes, remixes, and a cappella/backing track mixes too.

Okay, sod it, give us everything.

I would absolutely love a release of Sunflower as it was presented in Stephen Desper's Vimeo video. Since hearing it, I haven't listened to my Sunflower/Surf's Up cd. There just doesn't seem to be a point to hearing it in any other mix/master. My question is, would the matrix version sound the same if transferred to CD format?
