This grey-area release apparently consists of evolution-documentary style approach at each tracks of Today, plus two bonus tracks (All Dressed Up for School & Guess I'm Dumb) and Bull Sessions "long version". It must be sourced from Unsurpassed Masters, I think.

Also, the product introduction says that Guess I'm Dumb was "rejected by other members"...is that true? I've assumed it was written for Glen Campbell.

I always chuckle at the beginning of the short version of Bull when Brian says "look, we don't even have to talk about what we're talking about" because the long version reveals that he was being absolutely filthy prior to that

Apologies if this is mentioned on another thread, but clicking through the Japanese releases on the link an album called ‘Transmission Impossible’ was mentioned. A search found this..

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transmission-Impossible-3cd-Beach-Boys/dp/B07KLPTWD5

3 CD SET FEATURING SOME OF THE BEACH BOYS FINEST LIVE PERFORMANCES Among the finest pop groups the world has ever witnessed, what The Beach Boys lacked in consistency, they made-up for in frequent quality, sporadic brilliance and moments of pure, unadulterated glory. This triple discs set features the group in various live settings during different eras of their generally splendid career. Disc One focuses on the early years, featuring as it does 3 shows from the 62-66 period, all of which were recorded for broadcast on TV and FM Radio. Disc Two finds The Beach Boys in their early 1970s incarnation, with another concert recorded for transmission, performed at Manley Field House in Syracuse, NY, on 1st May 1971. Concluding this collection, Disc Three contains their 4th July gig from 1985, recorded at the Ben Franklin Museum Of Art in Philadelphia.
