Adult Child won't be released unless

1. 'The powers that be' who decide on the marketing for this band are given their long-overdue dismissal (never forget that there exists an "official SMiLE surfboard")
2. They can figure out a way to advertise the album as a fun, party-time sum-sum-summer Beach Boys™ album

Brian Wilson the Outsider Pop Genius™ as a marketing strategy would not hurt his legacy, but it's fair to assume that 'the powers that be' are not particularly interested in reopening old wounds that previously (if not presently) made it difficult for him to be signed to a major label

Peanut was a singer produced by Mark Wirtz, the Peanuts were a Japanese female duo.

Smile is better in stereo but you can't mix the whole album like that without there being some awful phasing a la the 2001 WIBN

Linett and Boyd's stereo mixes are hit and miss - sometimes they work, sometimes they rob the original feel of the recordings, sometimes they add back in elements that Brian was wise to mix down

How many stereo versions of the TSS track list have been made? Just listen to those

Is there in the whole world of music so complex and fascinating a mystery as H & V? I don't think so.

 It's just a I-II-V riff with a descending diatonic melody. Not much more complex than Mary Had a Little Lamb.

Yeah... I don't suppose the specifics could be posted by anyone...?

I've always assumed that the original riff was supposed to be what the flutes are playing at 1:50

So what does the current personnel list look like on all the tracks?

why are you participating in it at all?

The OP's only question was about when exactly Wilson started hearing voices. The fact that Wilson is afflicted with the disorder is important for providing a significant degree of context -- it'd be useful to know when the hallucinations started so that one can have a specific point of reference when analyzing his music. That's the extent of my interest.

1. Really? What are your sources?

2. What would be the point of that, or further, why claim someone heard voices earlier than they did?

1. "I’d taken some psychedelic drugs, and then about a week after that I started hearing voices, and they’ve never stopped. For a long time I thought to myself, “Oh, I can’t deal with this.” But I learned to deal with it anyway."

2. The point of what?

I recall that in his 'Landyography' (page 86 in my edition), 'Brian' talks about having heard horrible noises in his *sleep* from late 1963. His description is that they were "Loud, terrifying screams... like goblins in a haunted house".

Wasn't aware of that -- good note

Would you mind answering my question above?
What makes it highly likely that it came from Melinda Ledbetter?

1. I don't know the answer to (or care about) the irrelevant question you posed. Anyone who is interested in the relationship between LSD and latent psychosis can look it up for themselves. Anyone who is super interested in the specifics of Brian Wilson's mental health -- be it whether he is genetically predisposed to mental illness, how far you can trace it in his family tree, or if he's really schizoaffective like his doctors say he is -- should be more concerned with their own mental well-being.

2. Until September 2014, it was never claimed by anyone on record that Wilson experienced auditory hallucinations before taking LSD. Obviously someone close to Wilson knows something the public doesn't. Everything in the L&M film was 'fact checked' by the family, with Ledbetter as primary consultant. It's not 100% that the detail came from *her* specifically, but if she thought the '1963' date was inaccurate, it almost certainly would not have made it into the film.

Oren Moverman was very much interested in 'setting the record straight' based on what Ledbetter (or other people) had to say.


So if she (or somebody else) knows better, why does Wilson always say that the hallucinations started after the LSD? Who knows. Go ask him. Or her. Or continue pointlessly discussing this inconclusive subject for a further 50 pages, as these threads tend to go.

1. He has always stated that the voices began a week after taking LSD

2. It's highly likely that the '1963' claim in the L&M film came from Ledbetter

1. It's clear that the CATP master is in poor condition
2. Besides spots of tape distortion and numerous pops/clicks, the only audible difference is the presence of much more low-end, like somebody turned an EQ knob as far as it could go
137  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Pet Sounds 50 track listing on: June 13, 2016, 12:39:24 AM

terrei, did you use all of those partial vocals to make this mix?

All I did was use kn0ck0ut plugin to crudely extract the vocals and then laid that on top of what was missing.

"You have another solo Hollywood Bowl coming up in July on this tour. What’s the biggest difference between performing these songs with your solo band versus with the Beach Boys, as you did at the Bowl back in 2012?"
"I don’t want to talk about that. But the Hollywood Bowl, I love that place. It’s a great place to play."

Uh, you mean 8AM - 9AM BST. It's playing this very second. I got to hear

-Rhiannon
-Baby Love
-Little Girl I Once Knew
-December, 1963
-For Once in My Life (Stevie Wonder)
-Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (Shirelles)
-You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'
-Baby I Need Your Lovin'
-Yesterday-
-God Only Knows

But no Brian interview. I was only ten minutes late, so it must not have been very long.
