Based on votes from Timothy White, David Leaf, Don Was, David Dalton, Chris White, Peter Buck, Barney Hoskyns, John Cale, Andrew G. Doe, Kingsley Abbott, Steven Page, Joe Thomas, Mike Grant and Sean O'Hagan.

Nice. No Breakaway, though.

I'm surprised that Pet Sounds only made #11, in that collective bestalbums list.

Hmm, I don't know Rego's Capitol Mix.

I've uploaded the small fragments I'm talking about. I'm wondering what you all think of this. Does/would this bother you in a song such as this?

Mmm, well maybe that's it then. Although these were FLAC files, so expected high quality. As I mentioned, I heard the blip on the Ann Wallace version as well. Maybe it's just the way it's recorded.

I'll search for a new Purple Chick album though. Thanks.

If you do happen to have Purple Chick and don't have this problem, then please say so as well, so I know it's my file.

First of all. In my version of Purple Chick's re-arrangement of Smile,  in the Good Vibrations with the Tony Asher lyrics, on the 0:13th second there seems to be some sort of glitch. At least, that's what I thought. But then I heard roughly the same thing in the Anne Wallace version and in some early Good Vibrations version (don't know where from, but the first vocal starts with 'and she's already working on my brain'.

Is it really some sort of mistake, or is it just the percussion coming in at the time that makes me feel this way. Because it really sounds as if the long 'I' before "I only look in her eyes" is interrupted for a fraction of a second. As if you got something in your eye and you have to blink to get it away. Anyone else feel this way? 

And secondly. This is about the bonus track in Purple Chick, the Good Vibrations with the Mike Love lyrics. In the 19th second, during 'lifts' in 'on the wind that lifts her perfume through the air', seems to be a really rough eh.. 'vibration' behind it. The same things happens behind "with me to a blossom world", especially behind the 'a' and 'world'. You can't even hear that 'world' is being sang. It sounds all fuzzy. I don't know how to explain it.

Then another time in the 'hum de dum' section. In the first 'hum-de-dum-oho'. Behind the 'oho'.

I want to know if anybody else has heard it, or if my Purple Chick version is messed up.

I feel like Echoes is highly underrated...it's one of my favs of Floyd.
I love to play it for friends who only really know Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall (hard to believe, I know)...they always respond: "isn't this from Dark Side?" 

Hehe. The long original Meddle version is amazing. But takes some listening. I find it hard to find people who like that music.

1. Beach Boys - Smile
2. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
3. Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
4. Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
5. Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine

1. Beach Boys - Surf's Up
2. Pink Floyd - Echoes
3. The Beach Boys - Til I Die
4. The Beatles - Happiness Is a Warm Gun
5. Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick

Way too hard..

Ah, a mix of known material then.

Thanks Bossaroo.

Ah yes, I know of that version.

But I see people everywhere saying this.

12. Lookin' At Tomorrow   (2:02)
13. 'Til I Die   (7:32)

So strange..

I love this song. Got my hands on Landlocked, because I heard there's a seven minute version of Til I Die.

But there isn't. At least, not in the Landlocked version I've got. Does such a version even exist?
