God Only Knows "1966 home demo" is pretty good.

Does the tag use any of the authentic vocal from the released version?

What seltaeb1012002 really should have done, is held off posting anything until April 1, and then on that day introduced the above mentioned "home demo" as a genuine long lost article. It would have been a cruel but interesting experiment and perhaps with a free pass if posting on that day  LOL

Agree it is "only" intriguing and eerie. But wild nonetheless. And the possibility of rapid development certainly adds to the intrigue.
Is anyone suggesting it sounds "just like" Brian?
28  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian AI Project. on: March 29, 2023, 08:48:30 AM
Wild.

BWPS Heroes & Villains with AI model Brian vocal?
Would it sound more like 1967 released H&V or 1966 cantina vocal?

Although I don't feel quite right saying it, whole BWPS album with AI "vintage" vocals is intriguing.

"Vintage" Brian on Summer's Gone?

Dennis on A Day in the Life of a Tree? Or Brian...

Do we know anything about the house band for the night?

During a BeachBoys Talk interview, Alan Boyd mentioned there's something that was found that would "blow people's minds". It's from Chuck Britz's collection. Whatever it is, I'd hope they are pushing for that to be released some time in the not too distant future.

Maybe it's something Smile-related, in which case they could release it with stereo mixes of Smile.

Sounds tantalizingly similar Adam Marsland's report of what turned out to be Wild Honey era Surf's Up.

Netflix's Outer Banks 3 (never head of it) has Sloop John B in its trailer on YouTube. Actually some interesting cutting and mashing of the song. The trailer was suggested to me by the algorithm and I guess I am glad I took the bait.

Does Brian Wilson sing both harmony parts to the first chorus of Sloop John B?

I think I recall the title Metropolis…but I wonder if that eventually came out as half moon bay.

Good Vibrations 30 Anniversary Box?

Late to the party on this one, and sad to read posts from last hear about asking Billy Hinsche about the mystery Carl guitar.
Looking at the headstock, does it not remind anyone of PRS guitars?

Has anyone able to get anything close to a definitive list of unreleased material from the Radio sessions?

Aside from I'd Go Anywhere, I recall mention of a remake of She Believes in Love Again, and didn't Al try to get Waves of Love included?
It seems that there was a little bit of crossover between material considered for Radio that was specifically recorded for Radio, and material that was recorded for other projects and subsequently became or almost became part of Radio...Is it fair to say that Daybreak Over The Ocean is as much a part of the Radio sessions, as such, as Waves of Love?
Was Don't Fight The Sea ever considered?

The David Marks looks more like Pete Townsend
39  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Any perspective on the release of the CATP/Holland boxed set? on: September 26, 2022, 11:40:15 AM
Sail on Sailor is certainly a fine enough title, but I would have liked a title that is lifted from the lyrics of a song like Sunshine Tomorrow.

The Beach Boys Through Restful Waters

The Beach Boys - Unsettled Oceans

The Beach Boys - Sunny California

The Beach Boys - Another Sunny Day

The Beach Boys - Scheming To Rule the Waves

The Beach Boys - Dusk Time

The Beach Boys - Golden Auras

(you hate them all don't you?  LOL)

A handful of posters on this board have created more Mike Love apologists in the past few years than probably the previous twenty. 

Reverse psychology?

Perhaps this was Mike Love's plan all along.

Is OSD secretly working for Mike Love?

If true, this would be confirmation that there is no depth to which Mike Love will not sink.

This was a joke in case it wasn’t obvious.

Whilst I acknowledge that these latest interview comments appear distasteful and are  unnecessary, I do not feel particularly inclined to engage too deeply with the complex personal dynamic between Mike, Brian and their respective circles.

I’m supposed to be seeing “The Beach Boys” next month. I fear that we are reaching the end of the road so looking forward to it.

Alcohol is an addictive product for some people but not everyone.
I wonder how addictive it is compared to non-legal drugs; it may kill 80,000 per year compared to 70,000 for heroin, but it is also way more widely consumed.

Alcohol has been normalized by society and is not held to the same standard as other drugs. How much sense that makes in terms of negative impacts to individuals and society I do not know.

But how black and white can we be about the matter? The sugar and fast food industries also sell products that are addictive, can cause disease and ruin lives.

Tranquillizers before each meal?

Of course many happy returns to the great AJ.

Isn’t It Time was the only instance I’m ever familiar with where BW lip-synced (that incredibly exposed first verse).

Do you mean he lip-synced that verse during concert performances?
45  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Wilson/Paley Sessions on: August 19, 2022, 12:26:03 PM
Guitarfool, interesting post as always, but you seem to be talking about Brian Wilson/Mike Love collaborations whereas this post is more about the Wilson/Paley collaborations. Indeed they are from the same time period, but can they be considered one and the same for this discussion's purpose?
46  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: \ on: August 12, 2022, 12:32:05 PM
Paul Simon's Surfer Girl
Red Hot Chilli Pepper's I Get Around
Backstreet Boys When I Grow Up (wildcard choice)

are tribute performances that I have enjoyed.

It would be interesting to know the rationale behind the stereo mixes selected for particular songs as well as those selected for brand new stereo mixes.

Presumably the 2001 stereo mix of California Girls is considered definitive.
A new, new stereo mix of Don't Worry Baby will be interesting since the latest remix is relatively recent and already great. Wow didn't realize it goes back as far as 2009.
Similar with Do It Again.

I will be very interested to see what they do with Wild Honey and Darlin because I did very much enjoy their first stereo mixes, however they stayed quite true to the general aesthetic of their original mono version in my opinion, perhaps they can be pushed further toward a pre-1967/"big" studio sound. That said, why stick with the 2017 version of Let The Wind Blow (could have even reverted to the first one that appears on the Hawthorne comp).

Looking forward to seeing hearing a new mix of Baby Blue, which is already great...from a similar-ish era, I'd actually be very curious to see what they could do with a remix of Goin On.

All This Is That is left alone, whilst others from that album are not.

Interesting that the 21st century stereo mix of Time To Get Alone has never appeared since its original release, as far as I can recall.

Thanks HeyJude. I don't think this particular discussion should be limited to the audiophile domain.

In the case of Marcella, the mastering (well mixing really, though we do not know the stage at which the EQ decisions in question were made) is more than minutiae given the "product" is the new mix.

I take your point about Feel Flows...I'd be happy to say that Feel Flows is great overall, a thrill to finally see, say, Awake finally get a proper release, whilst adding that I'd enjoy it that 5% more if they toned down the shrillness on that particular track a little, then leave it at that and see what other's think...and all the better if we are lucky enough to see Mark or Howie jump in to either explain why they disagree with such assessments, explain their approach, or at least take the feedback onboard for future opinions like this are widespread.

I also think that in making a point of calling out the original mixes and masters, Howie himself does elevate the topic to higher importance than mere minutiae.
49  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Sounds of Summer 6LP Announced on: June 14, 2022, 01:13:09 PM
As I suggested over at Endless Harmony, things did spiral into a frenzy over the weekend. However it is a shame that legitimate discussion around the creative direction of recent releases has been undermined as a result of that frenzy.

I like that the new version of Marcella reveals new details/parts that were either absent from or mixed down within the original release. I also like that it rocks a more. But I sympathize and to some extent agree with the view that the high end has been overhyped somewhat.

More generally, we should also be able to discuss the relative merits of say how the Sunshine Tomorrow release "sounds" compared to Feel Flows, especially as critics as well as fanatics have commented on apparently negative aspects of the latter: https://www.pastemagazine.com/music/record-time-new-notable-vinyl-releases-november-20-4/#the-beach-boys-feel-flows-the-sunflower-surf-s-up-sessions-1969-1971-. These discussions are fun when done properly and I would have been very interested to hear what Howie thinks of the credible aspects of what has been argued over the last few days.

It should also be noted that those making a fuss over at Endless Harmony are not all old timer fans. At least one is a young fan who may come off a little brash at times but also offers a fresh and important enthusiasm to proceedings.

Yes hard to see how the 1996 stereo mix of Pet Sounds could be improved upon.

I wonder why Let Us Go On This Way gets a new mix but The Night Was So Young doesn't.
