I don't have Happy endings, unfortunately.

A third show has been announced (Sunday 9 March). I've decided to go to this one. Have been listening to Zombie Heaven a lot recently and I'm looking forward to the show tremendously.

Surfer girl7, are you sure that Darian will be participating? What else have you heard about these shows?

I saw this book last week in a record store, it was the first edition of the book. It it still rare and is it just a extensive discography or are there also articles in it? It was only $9, I should have just bought it, right?

Jon, who were in the support band for Dennis' proposed tour? (Apart from Carl!!!!).

Which songs were in the set?

Which part of "All this is that" is sung by Alan?

So far, only two shows are slated to take place in London on March 7 and 8 2008. These have been announced a while back which makes me wonder if there will be more concerts. I surely hope for a short tour of the UK and Holland.

All I know is that the surviving Zombies (Blunstone, Argent, Grundy and White) with additional guitarist Keith Airey will play O&O and Blunstone and Argent will play other material (Zombies, Argent, solo) with their current touring group and a string quartet.

Aren't the "Spanish"  vocals during the chorus sung by all or some of the Beach Boys?

I've recently discovered The Zombies. I LOVE the Cd's I have so much I want to get my hands on more. All I have so far is a singles (A's and B's) collection of their career and the Decca stereo anthology.

To have everything would Zombie Heaven and the Decca anthology be enough? I'm aware of reissues of Begin here and O&O with bonus tracks and a BBC-sessions collection, are these obsolete if I get the box set?

Many thanks!

Shall we move on to Sunflower?   

There are quite a lot of vocals on this record that I can't identify (parts of All I wanna do for example).

[and]

Now that we're talking about  Marilyn: according to beachboysarchives.com it's Carl, Dennis and Marliyn singing the back-ups to "I'm bugged at my old man"

I've left my Friends/20/20 twofer at work, so can't check WtW and TM.

Let's move on to 20/20!

John, my guess is that AGD was merely pointing out that Mike contributed to those songs vocally, not that he was singing lead or prominent back-ups , etc. His voice is there among those of the others.

That's interesting. How come they needed Murry for "Morning"?

It's a pretty low note, right? Perhaps even Mike couldn't hit it. Or... he wasn't around.

Keith Badman mentions Mike's absence from the Friends session, can't remember if it's any other reason than his stay in Rishikesh. According to Wikipedia  Mike only contributed on those two songs.

Are we happy with that? Transcendental Medititation is both Brian and Al, right?

Yes.

Agreed, nothing to add.

I observed the question mark, hence the answer I gave. 

It's Mikes normal voice with a different quality than we are use to getting from him. Just because a person sings in the upper part of their range doesn't mean its a falsetto. Falsetto is a totally different species.

But it's not, err.... tenor, or bariton, or something

[?]

If by Please Let Me Wander" you mean the lines "If I've been the one you love. If I'm who you're dreaming of"... that aint falsetto.

Good thing I used a ?, huh? What is it then?

Wonderful: I'd say vari-speeded, the voices sound so strange, especially in the background during the "hey-baba-roo-ba section" I can't imagine these voices not being technically treated, judging just by the sound of them though.

Mama says: Bruce has a distinctive "sweet" voice. I don't hear it, Bruce was notably absent from vocal sessions in this period, wasn't he? Dennis: perhaps, I can't figure out how many voices are singing midrange.

Wind chimes: I think this song is in parts extremely difficult to figure out. To my ears apart from the fifth and sixth lines (identified as Brian and Carl) more lines are sung by two guys, the line right after that one for example "Now and then..." and "It's so peaceful. Close to a lullaby". I don't have a proper idea who are singing these lines, my guess would be Brian and Carl.

Apart from that I think the closeup as it is now is correct.

Re: Mike's falsetto; the chorus of Please let me wonder?

Exactly; I'm clueless

I say bring on Smiley Smile!

Why would Brian let Carl sing "I love you" on a song that is otherwise sung by himself (w/ Mike on parts)  and is written about his wife and sung and recorded in her presence? (according to Brian on the WOTS-podcast). It wouldn't make sense.

To my ears... it sounds like Carl.

Back to the discussion of Wouldn't it be nice; I agree Dennis is prominent on the tag. But, according to Brian (I think I read this in the book in The Pet Sounds session box), Dennis and Alan sing "run-run", followed by Carl and Bruce doing "wee-doo". I'm not at home, so I can't look it up.

"bow-bow-bow"

Oh yeah, I forgot about those!

On The little girl I once knew, why credit Mike with "bass vocal"? Wouldn't "spoken word line after verses" or something be more appropriate?

Also I'd mention Bruce doing a call-and-response during choruses, like he did on California girls. (It seems Brian had a knack of using Bruce for these respones; there is a line from California girls to follow-up single Little girl I once knew and God only knows.)

Close-ups: excellent idea, will certainly be useful later on. (Although my personal preference would be to do that more often, even on this album: for example the choruses of Kiss, me baby and Help me R(h)onda, where the leads aren't exactly sung by resp. Brian/ Mike and Alan.)

(a), (b), (c) etc, or perhaps *1, *2, *3?. With all those asterisks it's a bit hard to quickly look something up. I have to count all those asterisks now.

Are we sure it's Dennis who sings "Help, me Rhonda, yeah!" at the end of the chorus? It sounds like more than one person to me.

On "Good to my baby"during the round in the intro/ bridge Carl sings the third line ("Good to my baby") solo. Does that count? The complete round is: Mike - Brian (with Alan and Dennis on harmony) - Carl (with B, A and D doing "ooh") -Mike (with B, A and D doing "ooh").

On "She knows me too well" Mike seems to sing a rather prominent back-up "She knows me..." in between verses?

On "Our favorite recording sessions" Chuck Britz is also noticeably audible along with the group.

I'm not sure, but I think on Don't back down Brian also sings the last line on the verses.
