Why has Dennis not been recognized after all these years and decades?

Didn't the Pacific Ocean Blue reiussue do really well? It's a cult classic now. Bambu got a standalone Record Store Day release. Among general music-lovers, it's safe to say he's the second most well known Beach Boy.

So I pre-ordered the 4 LP colored vinyl, are there any differences from the CD version? Also, I ordered from the BB website it says it going to ship on July 30th, I thought pre-ordering you'd get it the day of, but will probably have to wait until sometime in August right?

The differences between the LPs and CDs, some tracks are shorter mixes (Live Again for example is presumably missing the jam ending). HOWEVER, one track seems to be longer. The Live in 1971 It's About Time seems to be 10 seconds longer on the LP than the CD. In addition, some tracks are labelled as "2019" mix on the CD and "2020" on the LP or vice verse. However that might just be a clerical error.

California Saga's single mix is pretty readily available on Spotify as part of Best of the Brother Years

Any chance we could get some insight from one of our honoured guests regarding the amazon UK box set situation  

It's available for pre-order from HMV right now if you don't want to wait for Amazon

You can order the box set as an MP3 right now on amazon as an MP3 but not the physical copy. So strange.

The physical copy *was* up for a while, even as recently as this morning. I left for a couple hours and when I got home it was gone. I assume that's just to do with the big things happening soon(tm)

This sounds not too bad. Makes me hopeful for where digital extraction will be in a few years. All around a good sounding mix, with some oddities in the backing vocals by my ear. Though that last part seems an inevitable consequence of digital extraction

Hey all.

I’ve got it on Spotify.

Re the sound. Keep in mind in all likelihood this was all recorded on devices, cell phones etc and mixed in house...literally ‘in house’. I wonder if a studio was used at all?

A lot of this was recorded years ago. That version of She Believes in Love Again, for example, comes from around 2007 at least. Ram Raj sounds like a different mix of the version on Unleash the Love in 2017.

If you look at The Beatles or Lennon, their teams have been doing this stuff for a long time. Yellow Submarine toys, etc ...

Already got some good ideas.

• A bean-bag chair themed around mid-70s Brian.
• Al Jardine circa 1972 novelty beard.
• Pet Sounds branded pianoguitar
• Given that it's legal now in a good few states, Mrs O'Leary's Cow branded Cannabis.
• A plain beige MIU branded floormat for practising TM

Frankly the fact that I haven't been hired yet astounds me

Where can I hear that snippet?

At the very end of the Child Is Father of the Man track on the 2018 Friends set.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best way to go about contacting Beach Boys archivists Mark Linnett and Alan Boyd? I realise that they probably don't want to be bothered directly by BBs archive enquiries so this may be a long shot, but I'm asking just in case anyone has any pointers. My enquiry regards checking to see if they were aware of a particular BB archive item for potential use in future projects. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Well, according to his profile, Mark Linett has been active on this forum as of at least yesterday. Alan Boyd was last on the Endless Harmony forum yesterday as well. I'm sure they would notice a post on either. This "BB archive item" sounds very interesting though.

What's interesting is that, According to Amazon, this went up on February 16th. Two days before the Iconic Artists deal was announced.

[did]

Well, Mike&Bruce did play "All I wanna do", "Forever" (though with Stamos), "Disney Girle (1957)", and I believe even "Surf's Up" in concert, so who knows. I was just trying to keep the expectations down based on the Wild Honey tour.

I don't believe I've seen a Mike and Bruce Surf's Up (Though the whole touring band did participate in the Fendertones rendition), but 'Til I Die was part of their setlist a while back.

Ohh... Well do you think that is the one mentioned in interviews and what not?

Mark Linett said that it's a version of I'm In Great Shape from the Durrie Parks acetates.

Small point, I know, but wouldn't the Honeys be reuniting way earlier. They put out their album while Dennis was still alive.

I don't know the likelihood of seeing new releases on material more than 50 years old, but below is my dream list. I know some of this will be released on Feel Flows, but I'm hoping the rest will surface someday.

-Please Let Me Wonder backing track
-Please Let Me Wonder a cappella
-Kiss Me Baby backing track
-The Little Girl I Once Knew unedited sessions
-The Little Girl I Once Knew backing track
-All unedited Pet Sounds tracking sessions
-All Pet Sounds multi tracks
-We're Together Again backing track for original twofer version
-All I Wanna Do a cappella
-All I Wanna Do backing track
-Our Sweet Love backing track
-At My Window a cappella
-At My Window backing track
-Cool Cool Water backing track
-All Cool Cool Water vocal sessions (a la Stephen Desper's fascinating and sorely missed study video)

Is the TLGIOK backing track even possible? From what I recall it was partially taped over with that "psychedelic talk" tape.

I'm normally not a begging man, but I could really do with Mr Edelson showing up and confirming whether this is a "1969 Recordings" situation here. If so, I would like to say that the Rolling Stone's management are officially pure evil for normalising this practise.

Happy to hear the great news from Howie.

I wonder if this allmusic entry (great find, hapman!) is for what is/would have been the copyright dump?

All I'm saying is that 1996, the Republicans lost. The Pet Sounds box was delayed. 2012, the Republicans lost, Made in California was delayed.

I really wish it wasn't crickets and that we heard some new FF news, but let's face it - Mike and Bruce might just be too distracted by their tears of sadness for their orange hero losing the election.

Maybe the sadness has kept the box set from coming out in any sort of expedited manner. It must be hard to sign BRI paperwork that is soggy from being drenched in tears. But if Mike wanted to help speed up efforts to greenlight the set to get it out before Christmas, a quick release could help pad his pockets with enough money to contribute to Trump's slush fund to pay off legal debts! Why doesn't Mr. Positivity look on the bright side?

Election "Fraud" Demonstration Time?

Bruce mentioned to someone at a concert that he voted Libertarian.

Odd, he always struck me as a Federalist or a Whig.

Things are good. It's moving forward.

Ah, Mr Kowalski got proper credit for the sliverware percussion on This Whole World (Rehearsals - Session Chatter)!

In all seriousness, I'm glad to hear this. Been looking forward to something about this period since last January.

How about interrogating the system as regards some of the Poops titles other than Ecology?

We've tried everything Poops related that circulates or is known but so far nothing's shown aside from Ecology

Regarding Poops material, I did discover one thing that could be related to it, although the connection is verrrrry loose and probably means nothing. An auto-generated video of the Lew London song "Old Movies" (link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwvFju97UOA) is listed as being composed by Dennis Wilson and Daryl Dragon. In reality, this song in particular is written by Mark Josephs, but it seems that YT confused it with "Old Movie", the Dennis Wilson title. With that being said, YT auto-generated video descriptions aren't infallible (elsewhere they credit Dennis' "Barbara" as being written by Brian and Daryl Dragon), but it seems strange that they mistook the Mark Josephs song for the still-unreleased Dennis one. Could just be there was more info on the Dennis song than the Josephs song. I also don't know exactly when this description was added, but no earlier then October 26, 2018 at least.

Could you perhaps provide a screenshot of this description? Nothing is showing up for me when I look. The copyrighted audio description can be automatically updated by Youtube. For example a several month old video using Good Time was flagged as the 2019 mix a few days ago.

Also it's worth noting that the automatic copyright notices in the descriptions are becoming links, rather than the basic black text they were when this was first discovered. They only link back to existing mixes, for example "Surf's Up - Brian Wilson Lead Vocal" still links back to the 2009 remaster of Surf's Up, but a development is a development. Things certainly seem to be happening

And is "Surf's Up [Brian Wilson Lead Vocal 2019 Mix]" just Brian's vocal from the Smile Sessions (as this video suggests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK4im7frScQ) or is it...something else?

Well I saw it appear under a fanmix that made use of the 2011 Stereo mix of Surf's Up, so perhaps not. Top hope is a new mix of the Smile Sessions stereo mix with some of the 1971 elements re-added.
