Good Morning Stephen,

We met in January 1979 on the Queen Mary at Long Beach at the first BBFC convention.
You talked very seriously about Dennis Quad Symphony and Cabinessence.
I'll remember forever that  meeting.

Remember the first time I heard Cabinessence: it was on BBC 2 on a sunday just before the weekly charts. it sounded like a symphony and was mysterious.
Got 20/20 after that (should be the only french guy to buy BB stuff at the time!) and was delighted by Our Prayer and Cabinessence.
But also by time to get alone, Never learn not to love, I went to sleep and Be with me.
Did not know they came from Smile sessions! the only time I heard of Smile was in the spring of 67 before it came out under Smiley smile!
Was ignorant of the drama of early 67. I did not have access to Fusion or Cheetah magazines at the time.
The Smile story became a subject after Cool Cool Water and those important Richard Williams articles (for me the best ever stuff on BW) in the Melody Maker.
Then you got Rolling Stone, Creem.....

That was my situation in 69 years before internet!

it s better known under Quad Symphony ( Stephen Desper told about those 400 hundreds overdubs!). you can find some excerpts on bootlegs.

Here's a Googlemap I made - BB studios in LA (plus the firehouse - yellow):

BB studios in LA
Andrew, and what about that rare Promo of the BBs in the studio recording Good vibes. Saw that on the french 1st channel in B&W in early february 1967 at Cinq Colonnes a la une  serious news magazine. the previous report was about Vietnam and Anderson company fighting in the jungle! (I have still the liittle piece of the local newspaper announcing that, somewhere in my collection!).

years ago, the Correct Perspective, in Beach Boys Australia fanzine, wrote that Brian mixed the tapes in late may1967. What do you think of that Andrew?
the Correct Perspective prooved many times to open our eyes on true facts (Brian years before the BBs, Remember the Zoo....).
