anyone know if the artwork made by frank homes will be included? It would be sweet if they come in a large glossy paper or poster. Also wasn't there a completed smile booklet in 67?

mike also rewrote the lyrics to good vibrations which I prefer his (Mike Love) lyrics I remember reading he wrote them as they were driving to the recording studio and his cool head warm heart song is just plain awesomeness

in the booklet it says that there are words to the song that Brian didn't use were the lyrics ever recorded? is it booted?

why whats that?

yea thats another thing the boys have to work together like they did in the mid 60s brian and mike have to wright songs together! One idea I visioned would be a double album 1 cd would be your normal 12 or 14 track cd that covers everything the beach boys stood for (cars, beach. girls, some rockin songs like from the early 70s era, etc) and cd 2 could be a ep 5 or 6 tracks were brian will make a mini  phychadellic masterpiece kinda like a pet sounds or smile

yes please a beach boys reunion  get mike, al, brian, david, and bruce together not too mention record a new album together as a one last amazing album like what the beatles did with abbey road..

I would love to get my hands on this myself and let someone mix the track to form a song oh well it's probably lost cause it would of been booted by now...

Als going to release it in 30 years cause it's to complex lol yea i'm also interested on the album. He can sell it on his website maybe it's publishing issues no companies want to publish the album.

I uploaded the song on my youtube beach boys page check it out 

thats a great idea Carl's son Justin filling in with Mike, Brain, Al, and Bruce does Dennis have any sons I don't recall.

maybe al will turn this into a beach boys album?

this is awsome I hope they will make a reunion album after Al is done with his album and Brian being done with that lucky old sun (something i still have to buy and pacific ocean blue ) I'm working on my own fantasy beach boys album by combining there most recent songs and im def going to use this song on my album

does anyone know the tracklisting for this album? I was thinking of assembling one

adult child is an ok album has some good stuff like Life is for the living and tomboy no were near as good as love you and I prefer the MIU and summer in paradise albums

so what ever happened to these 2 lol? I dont know much information rather they left the beach boys around 74 or so then ricky joined on drums again for the keepin the summer alive album.

AMAZING!

Let's hope this sends out a signal to the folks at Capitol... This is still a market for rare and unreleased Beach Boys material...

Quality rare & unreleased BB material. 

unlike Andrew I went them to re release the 2 carl wilson albums. Look at the beatles all of there solo work is avaible and us beach boys fans Brain's work is the one thats commerically avaible. now with Dennis aside release carls now

can't wait to read the linear notes by david leaf

now if only the 2 carl wilsons solo albums will get the same treatment with some bonus tracks any word on that?

I wanna get this when i get the money im happy they released it rather than spend 100 or more for the record

yes those are great songs and real 'surf music' songs. I also liked what Bruce did with the nearest faraway place on 20/20 great track

well I also prefer  mikes lyrics on good vibrations then the tony asher/brian wilson one so i guess one person wrote the majority of the song and the other one filled out the gaps or hooks

I was wondering how is the writing partnership between Brian and Mike since they wrote most of the beach boys songs like john and paul from the beatles. How much input did Mike have etc.

i doubt that winds chimes or vegatables are part of the elements suite since there is a small piano track thats supposed to be the air section and in recordings of wind chimes or vegatables they didn't say the elements part 3 like with fire and i love to say da-da recordings that were part 1 and 2 of the elements. I always imagined the elements as an instrumental suite with some chanting here and their like fire.

yea smiley smile is great i love the album cover too. I think the album adds more humour than smile actually. like other ppl said the sound is very dry  at times and also very interesting and bueatiful like the hummings and singing in little pad or wistle in great closing track.

hmm interesting im curious to hear this now anyone has it yet lol so im guessing the earth element wasn't even started and smile was already dead they just barely made a wind section. I wonder how the elements would be a one song instrumental piece were all the sections fire,water, wind, earth all seque into each other?
