In reading about the reevaluation of some of Brian’s solo albums, it brought up a question I’ve always wanted to ask here. What is Brian’s actual degree of involvement in the songwriting and production of his solo albums? I find it hard to fully enjoy a lot of these albums, because it seems so many others were involved with them, that there wasn’t a lot of pure Brian input. I also know he has to deal with mental illness, and wonder how much this affects his abilities to oversee projects.

I remember when the Wild Honey and Friends box sets came out, everyone was excited to hear how much Brian had produced these albums. I wish we had something similar with the solo albums to shed some light.

Thanks for any answers.

A funny observation, I was listening to Love Affair and noticed the chorus of Forever is in there. In the same key too!

Does Be Here in the Morning Darling sound like a Murry-fied version of Be Here in the Morning to anyone? It has that certain Don Ralke/Sunrays sound to me.

I'm guessing it's meant for Bob Wilson.

This might be the song you're taking about: https://books.google.com/books?id=iy4hAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA1291&lpg=PA1291&dq="the+day+you+left+me"+"bob+wilson"&source=bl&ots=cbCCB7GfEZ&sig=toJq4t4Yn-eKoHdWpxxpV5zJrLo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi8hOzVx8reAhXIooMKHSYuAk4Q6AEwAHoECAIQAQ#v=onepage&q="the%20day%20you%20left%20me"%20"bob%20wilson"&f=false

Hope this helps.

Hi, new member here. I was listening to the '67 attempt at the Lord's prayer, and I believe you can hear Brian, Mike, Carl, and Al all remembering their parts. Please let me know if I'm not hearing this right.
