Would the "good!" from With Me Tonight count? If so, I guess we could also count the "Hi" at the start of The Trader.

The "good" from With Me Tonight is spoken by Arnie/Arny Geller. (He also designed the stained glass that is the Wild Honey album cover.)

Here's a 1967 interview where Brian is asked about this "good".

Even though Brian said that it just kinda worked and they left it in, it didn't work out as we hear on the record. If you listen to the sessions for With Me Tonight (these can be found on "Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 18 The Alternate Smiley Smile Album" and probably elsewhere), the "good" does not in fact line up on beat as on the album. It was a stray "good" that was spoken after a take that was later edited into place.

The "hi" at the beginning of Trader is Carl's son Jonah.

I'm sure some of you have seen this...

Now that they've been out for a month...
Has anyone purchased any titles in this series? What remasters were used? Are any worth getting? etc.

The info on this site is minimal

Any additional insight would be awesome!

I don't know about the "worst" BB parody ever, but I know about the best : Skeet Surfin' from the movie "Top Secret!"... It's almost better than any BB song. Almost.

"Trigger Happy" by "Weird Al" Yankovic is another great BB style parody about guns!

It's a really tough call to say who "wins" as far as album covers go. For me, it's always been solely about the music. It's really up to the listener to decide how much of an impact the artwork will have on their perception and experience of the music.

Here's a useless (or useful depending on how much of a fan you are) page.
