The Smiley Smile Message Board

Attached is the list of songs.

Just a CD I made for fun.

Comments welcome.

IMO it needs You're Still A Mystery, but I'll make up a playlist and listen, looks cool! Thanks Charles!

Great work Charles (you're not pissed at me are you?) but I'd take the last six tracks off and add You're Still A Mystery.

I never knew you listened to the Beach Boys.

Tell us of your interest in them, Mr. LePage.

Yeah I just thought Charles just ran this here board and moderated the off-topic sections. ;)

It's weird though.

I've never really heard his opinion on the group.

I want to know the story.

Get writing!

Interesting choices Chuck.

(noticing that all of the choices are legally released, I see why You're Still a Mystery is missing -- but I agree with Ian)

Actually, that has more to do with sound quality than legalities.

Take off "The Waltz" (because it stinks the place up) and replace it with "Still Surfin'".

I'd include "Rock & Roll To The Rescue", too.

Nice selection, Chuck.

For what it's worth, here's my 20 post-85 non-SMiLE tracks, trying to be fair to one and all:

1   Al Jardine - California
2   Mike Love - Cool Head
3   BB - You're Still a Mystery
4   Brian - GIOMH (peferably not the legal version!)
5   BB - Somewhere Near Japan
6   BB - California Dreamin'
7   BB - Where I Belong
8   Brian - Cry
9   Brian - Rio Grande
10 Brian - Melt Away
11 Beckley/Lamm/Wilson - Like a Brother
12 Beckley/Lamm/Wilson - Run Don't Walk
13 BB - Soul Searchin' (Paley version)
14 Brian - Your Imagination
15 Brian - Walking Down the Path of Life/Love and Mercy
16 Brian - Wings of a Dove
17 Brian - Don't Let Her Know She's an Angel
18 BB - Getcha Back (I don't hear a single...)
19 Brian - Lay Down Burden
20 Brian - Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight


Couldn't bring myself to take anything from Bummer, though Strange Things Happen came close

Crocodile Rock ?
Problem Child ??

I could really live without these two and never hear them again in my life.

I'll give Still Surfin another listen.  As a rule, I find everything but Hot Fun stinks on that album.

I like The Waltz.

I like Problem Child.   Di di di di de de de.  Love that Al.

Rock and Roll To The Rescue is... okay.  Not the best Brian vocal I've ever heard.

What is Mike Love - Cool Head?

It all began during the hot Florida summer of 1973.  Pet Sounds.  Sunflower.  Sail On Sailor.  Oh my.

It's off his latest unreleased CD. It's going to be on the Hallmark CD too.

Ah, well, I don't have Unleash The Love.  Guess I'll wait till it's hallmarked.

I tried to find the download site I got it from, but unfortunately it's gone.  I don't have all the tracks but this is probably the most successful.  I had to have Al's new version of California over Energy Blues.  That's one to seek out too, if you haven't heard it.

Have the Beach Boys recorded their last album yet?  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Was that the Al song included on a CD that came with a BB fanzine?

That's the one - Endless Summer Quarterly.

I've heard "Still Surfin,"  and I have to ask... why include it? :)

What do you think of "Strange Things Happen?"

Album version, Beach Party Mix, Percadilla Mix, or Instrumental Mix?

Revised lineup:

(http://www.smileysmile.net/images/lastbeachboyalbum.jpg)

Replace City Blues with Desert Drive.

Then replace the BW Soul Searchin' with the BB's version..

I agree, Rob. Besides that, great.
