Smiley Smile Stuff / Smile Sessions Box Set (2011) / Re: TSS - All things Wonderful

With all the complaining about pitchshifted/fly-in vocals, it's funny to listen to the Smiley version of "Wonderful," with the cartoon/helium voices. A similar sound on something Brian did.
Except there it was intentional and used for effect. For about three seconds. Right, but it's not such an alien thing in Beach Boys music as people want to make it out to be. Chopping up a vocal from a different recording and pitch shifting it all to hell just sounds bad. The end of "Holidays", for instance. Again, not a matter of principle - it works great on "Fire", for instance, but other songs... naw Fire is in the same they as Fall Breaks, only much faster. "All" they did was to cut the vocals in some places to make it fit, but they did not use pitch shifting (and thank god for that!)

I've tried to synch the 2nd chorus with new vocals on both versions, they both sound super good (version 1 gave me a little bit of hard time though, because it's much faster but I got though), I've cleaned/eq'd/compressed these new vocals to make them sound a little less distorted.
If anyone want to hear either or both versions (and my recreation of the Whispering Winds fade in the right key), feel free to pm. We're gonna get though this all together!

I probably might be!
I'm working on a stereo Child as I am writing.
First chorus is stereo vocals over the stereo-to-mono backing Track 17 CD3 (version 2) Second chorus is mono vocals from Disc 1 over stereo backing track 16 CD3 (version 1)
We'll see. For now the first chorus sounds very good.

Yeah but I'm a student, with these extra 30 - 35 euros I can buy enough food for a little month
Of course you're right. I meant to say: in this particular case I chose to purchase at my regular retailers', we've become very good acquaintances over 30+ years. Moreover, I would spend € 40.00 extra this way on very, very few items on the planet in my lifetime, if at all. So out of a little 'beer money' box, and smeared out over a long time, that 40 Euro cap means zilch. That wasn't criticism at all! I'm too part of that category of people who can at some point go inside an independent music retailer, only to get out of the damn shop 5 hours lated and 200 bucks short But just once a year
