very cool that Brian and Pet Sounds were mentioned within the first 15 mins of this series. the colorized footage is glorious.

Paul also mentions the Kinks in episode 3 which I've never heard him do before. nice to see

not that I know of, but I've been reading a lot about her album Blue which is celebrating its 50th anninversary this year. lots of praise for it being one of the first albums to be so personal and confessional, but I'd say Brian was doing that years earlier.

Importcds.com 5 Cd set for US $88.52 plus s/h

Hmm....appealing. Anyone used this seller before?

Many times. All legit and good.

I've bought from them on amazon, never used their website before. I got a refund from uDiscover and went with ImportCDs instead.
I'll be checking with them first from now on. thanks Mr. G

As far as "Won't You Tell Me" goes, I assumed that it was a collaboration between Murry Wilson and Rick Henn. But then comes the Rolling Stone article and you have Brian saying what he said. Anybody know what's up on either of these or will we just have to wait for the set and scour the credits?

discussed it a little a page or 2 back.
a couple of us are glad Brian is now claiming credit for it, while a couple others seem sure that Murry wrote it and Brian is misremembering. appears that it's being credited to both Brian and Murry in the liner notes.

I've been revisiting the song (which i love) since the announcement. the chords, harmonies, melody, lyrics, not to mention Brian's sheer investment in singing the thing, all point to him indeed having written it. and now we have Brian saying he wrote it entirely. doesn't seem like a thing he'd forget or falsely take credit for.

at any rate, I'm ecstatic we're getting 2 separate versions of this gem of a song.

Love You and Adult/Child do not strike me as albums Bruce would like.

Bruce walked out of an interview a couple of my friends conducted with him when they revealed their fondness for Love You. no sh!t.

I do think there was a confessional element to some of these relationship-themed songs. Brian was acknowledging bad behavior and coming clean with some of the lyrics. Mike likely contributed, but I would say the sensitive themes were all Brian and Mike probably didn't find them commercial or "positive" enough for his tastes

I think Brian contributed to the theme of the song as well. there are similarly questionable lyrics in Good To My Baby, Kiss Me Baby, etc. Brian seemed very interested in writing about all aspects of romantic relationships: good, bad, and ugly. likewise, when the Beatles sang "I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved" they weren't singing fiction.

you mention another verse where the girl breaks free, how about another song? Let Him Run Wild could actually be describing the guy in She Knows Me

yes I was just playing through Still I Dream Of It and It's Over Now, they're incredible.

I put The Night Was So Young, I'll Bet He's Nice, Let's Put Our Hearts Together, and even I Wanna Pick You Up in the same category.

later songs would include The First Time, This Isn't Love, Live Let Live, Midnight's Another Day, From There To Back Again, and more.


it's a shame both Mike and Bruce have no problem making such bold and rather negative statements about Brian. Mike has said similar things about Heroes & Villains being the last great record that Brian produced.

in case anyone missed it, you can get 25% off ($37.50) the uDiscover price of $149.98. with tax it came to about $120 for me

and now THE WAIT.

Also surprised Mike didn’t insist the box come with some type of Velcro removable hat on his photo.

 

And Brian claiming he wrote 'Won't You Tell Me'. I can therefore upgrade this song from a guilty pleasure to a genuine treasure  

I completely understand  
I've always loved the song but was under the impression Murry wrote it with Rick Henn. on the Sundazed 45 it's credited to just Murry.

the harmonized vocal intro and somewhat insecure lyrics do point more to Brian as creator. perhaps the other Beach Boys just found it way too schmaltzy to consider releasing, but I'm so glad it's on this set and that Brian is now claiming full responsibility for it. it appears we're getting 2 different versions as well. here's the full blurb from RS:

“Won’t You Tell Me”
A voice-and-organ demo of a ballad officially co-credited to the Wilsons’ infamous dad, Murry. (It came out as a B side from a band he was managing, the Sunrays.) As Brian says, “I don’t think I wrote ‘Won’t You Tell Me’ with my dad. I think I wrote that by myself.” In this demo, you can hear Murry in the studio, claiming, “Best song you guys have sung for five years!” Brian’s response is to crack up laughing.

that looks really cool with those brushstrokes. I don't have any tats but a google search turns up some good ones.
this one is similar to yours:

the topic has come up before. I still love shelter's Wild Honey tat:
http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=5219.0

Vince is a great musician and super cool guy, but he didn't "nail" the song when it was done live. he's reading the lyrics from a prompter and gives the impression it's his first time ever seeing them. silly mistakes like mispronouncing the word "bow" 

also, take your pro-Trump/anti-Obama garbage elsewhere. no one wants to hear that BS here

I think this is going to drag the band down and alienate young listeners moving forward. This leaves me absolutely livid, as I love this group with all my heart, but my brain is shattered. C'mon. This is horrible optics, and is just going to completely kill this band's legacy. This is not a drill.

it's a Love thing

what an asshole.  those two really deserve each other

Mike should lose the license over shlt like this

I also have a hard time believing it's the distributing label, the two members who teased it, the estate of the member whose song titles the set, or the member who seems to need to read from a cue card to record a 15-second "Hi, this is...hope everybody is staying safe" YouTube video. Reasoning and over 50 years of precedent hint at the holdup. Could be wrong - hopefully wrong.

way to squeeze in a jab at Brian, d*ckhead.

similar thing happening with a recently-announced Thelonious Monk release. an unheard concert from 1968 was unveiled in June and scheduled to be released today, but has now been held up indefinitely due to a dispute between the Monk estate and his former record label. we even got to see what it looked like. so disappointing

can't believe I missed Fred's video from last Dec! so cool to finally hear something from the mythical Brian Wilson "country album"

definitely Buddy Emmons playing steel on this track. Jay Dee Maness is a steel legend too, also on the sessions.
sure hope all the songs get to see the light of day!

Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring

yikes.

(sorry, never liked Journey)

only 8 songs but the list could easily be expanded to include other songs we know Brian loves

sounds nothing like blinds to me, but it does seem somewhat intentional

never seen an official cover but I love this fan-made design. which one of you did it?

unsurprisingly, the story made the Colbert show. yippee

If Mike was stripped of the licence and it went to Brian and Brian / Al / Blondie / maybe David started to tour as The Beach Boys, would Brian get the sole custody of Bruce ?
