One song I’ve always wanted to hear is a young Ronnie Spector singing don’t worry baby. I know she’s covered it in her later years but if there’s anyway Dae Lima could ever muster an AI beach boys version with peak era Ronnie singing the lead well I’d die a happy man

I told my wife, when bookoff smile came out, that the best thing that could happen is that it would be "outdated by summer" and it seems my highest hopes are about to be met!!

This is fantastic, I can’t wait to hear the full SMiLE work you’ve done once complete. Really impressed!
3  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / BWPS TSS in Atmos Surround Sound on: November 29, 2022, 05:55:26 AM
Good day everyone

Hope you're all well and having a brilliant day!

After listening to SMiLE everyday for around 4 years i had a pause around 2014, in the hope of saving my marriage more than anything  LOL Smokin
I've just started pulling myself back in, and had a few questions i wondered all you more knowledgeable fans may have the answers to.

Question 1
Will there ever be an ATMOS, or other surround sound mix pf Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE. The SMiLE Sessions?
I hope so more than anything.

Question 2
The Pet Sounds Boxset, The SMiLE Sessions, Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE
The quality of writing, musicianship, performance, sound and mixing on Pet Sounds as a collective is incredible in all these aspects. That is without question.
One thing I've always wondered about is why the quality of mix is so immersive here, yet with BWPS & TSS the mixes always seem a little in penetrable, not as enveloping / immersive, slightly muffled, dull sounding (even though it could be debated this music surpasses a little, Pet Sounds - i know an argument for another day for maaaaany reasons)?

Pet Sounds in its various released formats has felt like taking a pill, there is no barrier between me and the music, it becomes completely immersive, fluid to me.
SMiLE although a more dense orchestral mix, and having more of the dripping melting liquid feel of the musical notes etc, (and i love it and all its various formats as my favourite listening pleasure). For whatever reason, it just doesn't seem to be as rich, or fully enveloping for me much to my frustration!!!
SMiLE should have the same audio quality rich immersive listening experience i get with all of Pet Sounds, and the likes of 'California Girls' as another example ( 'Can't wait too long' is another example) - it should feel even more like taking a pill, but for some reason and i can't understand why, there always seems 'something' that seems to get between me and the music, even if its as thin as a cig paper. Its not letting me ingest it and become 'in' me

This is so hard to describe, but its almost like rather than being consumed and becoming 1 with the music ala Pet Sounds, California Girls etc (like taking a trip or pill), SMiLE and its various formats BWPS, TSS, the Boots etc i just can't get as immersed. Im not getting the pill feel as much. Believe me its not a case of needing to take a walk on the wild side to get it, I've walked that path many times to know.
Is it the mix? what is it? No its not the missing bits, i can move beyond that, (and some studio boots from other BB songs give me that)

Does anyone else get this 'barrier' or inability to pop the balloon?

Final Question
When The SMiLE Sessions were being prepped, there was talk of a further 2 disks of outtakes, so it'd be 7 disk boxset.
What ever happened to this? Why didn't it come out (it mustve been prepped enough to be considered and the tracks/outtakes arranged/sequenced for 2 further disks)
What tracks were supposed to be on it, I'm assuming id already have had access to hearing some of these but theres always a little fish thats wriggled free of the net.

Thanks for your help Brian, Dennis, & Carl Air Quotes

Hi everyone

Apologies I’m not tech savy enough to just post the song link but I found this the other night and having searched on here noticed it’s not been added. Personally my fav version is on the 2ffer SmileySmile bonus but this version has parts I’ve not heard before.

Ah managed to do it now, sorry about that

il admit ive never listened to the album for fear of 80s production (which i HATE), but interested in hearing the song quality sounds fairly positive. are there any boots of the demo's or sessions / out takes that became of the nature of what they are, wouldn't have the 80s production that the finished released album had?

B1    Can't Wait Too Long    8:08

This excites me, id love to hear this in full phat fidelity somehow!  Lips Sealed Tongue Wink
that tune is one of my fav ever pieces of BB Music, love the two-fer version 5.34 Can't Wait Too Long

seconded!
14  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Looking back on Brian's best studio recordings of the last decade on: March 24, 2017, 12:54:15 PM
I was compiling a list of my favourite tracks since 2007's What Love Can Do, and was surprised at how much quite a lot of it holds up when you stack most of the best (imo) recordings together:

1. What Love Can Do
2. Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl
3. Southern California
4. Live Let Live (Demo)
5. Midnights Another Day (Demo)
6. The Like In I Love You
7. 'S Wonderful
8. They Can't Take That Away from Me
9. I Got Rhythm
10. Baby Mine
11. Colors Of The Wind
12. Think About The Days
13. That's Why God Made The Radio
14. Isn't It Time
15. Spring Vacation
16. Shelter
17. Strange World
18. From There to Back Again
19. Pacific Coast Highway
20. Summer's Gone
21. Wanderlust
22. This Beautiful Day
23. Whatever Happened
24. The Right Time
25. I'm Feeling Sad
26. One Kind Of Love

On listening through my comp, the past 10 years seem to have been a definite improvement over the preceding 10-15 years of BB related music IMO. (Presents SMiLE excepted)

Anyone else find more enjoyment in Brian's modern solo work than most 80s-90s recordings? How do his most recent recordings compare to his previous eras?

Is this the same thing?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-8DQ9Rqkm4

if so, aahhh that demo's lush, whats the best boot to search for of this album? didnt know about it mmmmm
15  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Favorite Vocals-Only Moments on: March 09, 2017, 03:13:10 PM
I only wish this was available in better sound quality.  From a very old boot, a Please Let Me Wonder session.  The final take where the boot-maker drops the backing track out- mindblowing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh0iKhXW6vw

just play from 07.43
wow creamy, love the dynamics on the chorus.
16  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Favorite Vocals-Only Moments on: February 27, 2017, 10:50:57 AM
Also the backing vocals track for she knows me too well!

AMAZING completely agree!!!!! my personal fav take being...
 'She Knows Me Too Well (Take 16, Stereo Chorus Overdub Session)' from the Archaeology (Lost Recordings Sessions 1963 - 1968).
17  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Can't Wait Too Long experiment on: January 09, 2017, 02:31:19 PM
nice work, some bits are a little funky timing wise, sounds great tho  Smiley
18  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Beatles role in SMiLE's demise on: January 03, 2017, 12:03:00 PM
I'm sure i heard or read sopmewhere about Brian being played an acetate of 'A Day in The Life' before anything from Sgt Pepper had come out, and that it was this & the SFields single stealing in ahead of him - something along the lines of first is first and second is nowhere maybe?
19  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: You Are So Beautiful request on: December 18, 2016, 11:19:06 AM
Okay I gave it a shot a little while ago and it's a bit clunky at parts but here is the rough attempt I made

https://soundcloud.com/falklandrecords/you-are-so-beautiful-attempt

if you can't listen that way I'll figure out a way

Good Effort Smiley
Massive thanks!

Hello 'HeyJude'
Point taken and generally id agree with that sentiment, however posts suggesting the above clip in a reply to a friendly request just aint cool & at best a moot point, is that clip anything other than turd, i mean really?!?  Shocked

just watch it and see if you get anything beneficial from it  LOL

Thanks for the below info tho, much appreciated  Smiley
'I'm guessing there's rather limited familiarity with a home-made video of Carli Munoz playing a gig outside of the Beach Boys, possibly a number of years after he left the touring band. Cool to see and hear of course. '

21  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: You Are So Beautiful request on: December 15, 2016, 11:56:13 AM
Im after a matrix of the beautiful strings & Dennis singin - both are in my first post

Posting turd versions, and by people ive no interest in isnt really my bag really but thanks, i think..   Roll Eyes  Shrug

Anyhow, moving on. If anyone knows where the strings clip is from (so i can get a better qual source) I'll be very grateful
If i can be pointed in the right direction i'll have a go myself  LOL  Brian, Dennis, & Carl  dennis Violin Drumroll
22  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: You Are So Beautiful request on: December 14, 2016, 11:14:06 AM
just listen to Joe Cocker's version...it's better anyway! Smiley

Sadly its a no on both accounts for me, heard his version for so long and seen him sing it so many times its sadly completely left me bereft of positive feeling and doubting any sincerity from his version.

Also lacks the strings, dennis always seemed to have that sincerity whether drunk,fooling around or whatever really.

I think the word 'disability' is the preferred term today. Wink

ah, I think that's now been superseded with 'impairment' Smiley

Hi

I stumbled across this bit of magic years ago and made an mp3 of it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iMiOJZyOnM

Does anyone have the full strength audio of this? I'd love to be able to buy it if its released (or get a copy if its a boot)

If anyone with skills can take up the challenge of synching it with this audio of Dennis singin it live I would die a happy man if i can get to hear it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyawpzgLpAs

Please please if anyone fancies trying I'm all ears!!!
