Oops, seems I goofed up the title of this thread before.  Hopefully it'll get some readers now...

["Fall Breaks and Back To Winter" should be here... nice one, iTunes.]

I just noticed, to my complete surprise, that iTunes offers a Beach Boys version of "Smile"... that has apparently been on there since *2006*.  How did this slip by unnoticed?!!

For those unaware of its existence like I was, the tracklist is this...

"Main Version"
01) Our Prayer  [from "Good Vibrations"]
02) Heroes And Villains  ["Smiley Smile" bonus track version]
03) Do You Like Worms?  [from "Good Vibrations"]
04) Cabinessence  [from "20/20"]
05) Wonderful  [from "Good Vibrations"]
06) Surf's Up  [from "Surf's Up"]
07) Vegetables  [from "Good Vibrations"]
08) Wind Chimes  [from "Good Vibrations"]
09) 'Heroes and Villains Intro'  [AKA the beginning of 'Mrs O'Leary's Cow', from "Good Vibrations"]
10) I Love To Say Da Da  [from "Good Vibrations"]
11) Good Vibrations  [from "Smiley Smile"]

"Alternate Version"
12) Our Prayer  [from "20/20"]
13) Heroes And Villains  [from "Smiley Smile"]
14) Cabinessence  [from "Good Vibrations"]
15) Wonderful  [from "Smiley Smile"]
16) Surf's Up  [from "Good Vibrations"]
17) Vegetables  [from "Smiley Smile"]
18) Wind Chimes  [from "Smiley Smile"]
-> "Fall Breaks and Back To Winter" should be here... nice one, iTunes.
19) Cool Cool Water  [from "Good Vibrations"]
20) Good Vibrations  ["Smiley Smile" bonus track version] - Why wasn't this used in the other version?!  It has the BWPS lyrics!

(You can buy the 'Main' and 'Alternate' versions separately, though I'd think they'd be rather short, or both as one long album.)

How did something as momentous as an official Beach Boys "SMiLE", such as it is, escape into the public without any fanfare???

Crud - Brother Records ordered the videos removed.  (Pretty good for a non-existent album that's not entirely the Beach Boys!)

Oh well...

Well, it sounds good then.  I should have it in about a week, hopefully. :-)

There's several different Beach Boys "Smile" vinyls on eBay at the moment; the ones up for auction I was able to identify as the 3-LP Vigotone version, the fake Brother Records version, and... I can't remember.  It was a white label that said "Smile" on it (in the cover font).

But, since those will likely be snapped up as they have about a week left each, I bought one in the 'Buy It Now' section.  They gave no tracklist, but it's 1-LP, and the record is on green vinyl.

Does anyone know which version I bought, and what the tracklist is?  (It wasn't TOO expensive - 38 bucks or something; I'm just happy to have a vinyl Smile.  But I'd like to know which version it is in advance.)

I've sat through worse... case in point:

* Favorite Beach Boys song: "Battle Hymn of the Republic"
* Favorite rock album: "The Beat Goes On" by Vanilla Fudge
* Favorite movies: "Grease 2" and "Shock Treatment" (yes, the Rocky Horror sequel that, like, 12 people actually enjoy)
* Favorite era of Saturday Night Live: 1980-81
* Favorite Pink Floyd album: "Atom Heart Mother"

Get the picture yet? :-P

Really?  I was under the impression that the Beach Boys/Jasper Dailey version was most certainly a cover of the Marcels' "Teeter Totter Love"...  (Incidentally, the Marcels' seems to be the ONLY version out there... sorry I couldn't substitute something a little more Beach Boys-ish!)  I mean, what are the chances of two songs having the same unlikely title??

I'm just sorry I couldn't offer a replacement for "Remember The Zoo", the nonexistent title track... I hate to say that I don't have the talent to fake a Beach Boys song resembling "Tomorrow Never Knows" with animal noises! 

Oops, sorry!  I'll fix that right now...

(EDIT: All links will be in the first post!)

I uploaded my unfinished recreation of the "Remember The Zoo?" album onto YouTube... enjoy!

You'll note that the title track mentioned in the article is missing... the simple fact is, it just plain doesn't exist.  The Beach Boys, nor anyone else apparently, recorded a 'Tomorrow Never Knows'-esque song called "Remember The Zoo".

I know the album sounds a bit odd because it's compiled from different sources, but this is the closest I could get to the article, honest. :-)

I'm curious... what does everyone think of "Black Sheep", the Brian Wilson/Smile parody from 'Walk Hard'? 

I dunno, I think the guy in the movie was right - that's not a very good song.  I think Van Dyke set his sights too high... I mean, it doesn't really have a melody to it, because the key changes every damn line!  Perhaps I was just spoiled by the far superior "Pancreas" the previous year, though.

I would recommend seeing this part of the movie in the unrated version though... there's a ton of stuff added to it (including Dewey recording the sounds of his wife giving birth and, for some reason, some random girl's breasts) and it's just brilliant.  They even manage to spoof Brian's odd instructions (like Brian wanting the cymbals to 'sound like jewelry'), but I won't spoil that. :-)

An overwhelming amount of Smile-premiere-related forum posts is on the Project Smile CD-ROM, if that helps.

Yeah... she's just great, except you know, those lesbo pics they just found, and the scandal that just broke about her using a body double on stage and pretty much ripping off the millions of people who bought her tickets.  But hey, I don't have the Disney Channel. 

A record store about 10 minutes from my house has a vinyl copy of "Rarities"... anyone know how much this would be worth?

I found an MP3 (apparently from an album called 'Celebrities Gone Wild') of Brian, seemingly VERY intoxicated, going on this on-stage spiel about "VAN DYKE PARKS IS THE BIGGEST BUTTHOLE!"  He then sings a song, and apparently forgets the words...

Does anyone know where in the hell this is from?

Oh, it's going to be the fictional Tap AND real world TAP... and I can also promise that it's MUCH more extensive than the other fictional discographies you've seen of them.

Well, I'd think a Wilson/Morrison collaboration circa 1967 would be rather frightening...

"Heroes That Kill Their Fathers and F*** Their Mothers", perhaps? 

I'd like to take a break from the Beach Boys discography for a little bit, so I'm starting to piece together, in very much the same format, a discography of... wait for it.... SPINAL TAP.

It shouldn't take long; I have all the info, I just have to adapt it for that format.  Is there anyone here who would like me to post it when it's finished?

Thanks!  I'll add that to the next revision.

Well, Andrew Doe's site appears to differ with you on the "Hawaii" thing; according to that one, the quality of the 26th is pretty poor.

I'll include the Masked Surfers album if you can supply info - date, tracklist, etc.  (I'm assuming that's an album of new material, and not a compilation?)

Anybody??  Comments, anything? 

What do you mean?  Brian IS schizophrenic... or at least, was.  He discusses it himself in the "Smile" documentary, about how he kept hearing voices threatening to kill him and stuff.

This is the latest revision of my Beach Boys discography.  (I'll post further revisions in this same thread.)

As usual, comments and questions (and especially albums I missed) are appreciated!

Incidentally, if anyone's wondering if I'm going to include Glen Campbell in the "solo albums" at one point, the answer is a very large NO.  The discography would double in length (and then some), all for a guy who never appeared on a Beach Boys album AS a Beach Boy.  (He did session work for "Pet Sounds", but that's not grounds for inclusion... he's not important enough.)  Because I feel like if I start getting into 'live-only' Beach Boys, then I'd have to hunt down the recordings of the phony Beach Boys in Mike Love's cheesy touring bands, and that's not worth the trouble, because who cares? 

Would you mind only having three? 

Two changes to my tracklist - I'm throwing in the Marcels' "Teeter Totter Love" because frankly, I'd hate to have two songs missing.  (I doesn't sound THAT far off from an acapella Beach Boys outtake, really...)  Also, I wanted to keep the "Smile" version of 'Great Shape' in there, so I made a new intro to 'Poor Old Body'.  It's made up of two parts - Brian's piano demo of IIGS, spliced with Purple Chick's version, because Purple Chick's cut off the first couple piano chords.  Then, instead of 'I Wanna Be Around', the distortion cuts to the beginning of 'Poor Old Body'.  Doesn't sound as bad as you'd think, especially since I made POB mono, bassy, and layered with reverb!
