Still Crusin’ got a good amount of airplay in Australia at the time. I remember seeing the video a bunch.

It should be #1. It’s fucking terrible.

Match Point Of Our Love Is hilariously terrible, honestly couldn’t believe my ears the first time I heard it.

Talk of this set changing the way the Beach Boys are viewed seems far fetched to me in relation to some of the theories being put forward.

Of course the set will be incredible for us die hard fans but Sunflower/Surfs Up and lots of previously unreleased bits and pieces from that era are already out there.

The SMiLE sessions are out there! Nothing is gonna beat that IMO in relation to changing the way the band are viewed.

Huge thanks to all the guys who helped put it together. I'm confident we will get it soon.....ish.

I agree, while Sunflower and Surfs Up are good the amount of times the record label rejected this material should mean at least something. I’m looking forward to hopefully hearing this stuff if and when it does get released but to think it’s going to be some profound revelation that will change music history is going a bit far.

Can’t wait to hear the instrumental versions of OCA, love that album. Of all the things unreleased the Paley sessions are on top of my wish list.

I’d like him to retire, relax and enjoy the rest of his life.

While it was great seeing Brian perform with just a piano in the ‘In My Room’ series a few weeks ago, it was not really a late night show style TBH. Was the ‘performance ‘ going to be live? Too much pressure for the guy. Perhaps that is the reason.

It would not be live, no.

This is the worst thing I have ever heard.

It's Linett, by the way--he's probably more likely to post if we keep spelling his name right...  

Corrected! Ta.

After a quick google search it doesn’t look like it would be very difficult to get in touch with Robert and see if there is any truth.

Mark Linnet was on the live show today at Produce Like A Pro and brought with him some Beach Boys multitracks, including some Smile stuff. Must see.

They have been removed in Australia too. Bummer.

Stop worrying about audio quality and listen to the music. I guarantee you wouldn’t be able to pick the difference in a blind test.

She’s always been a crank. I remember her blowing up on the blue board more than a few times.

WHY?!?!

I think setting the tapes on fire could fix it.

It's crazy this stuff hasn't been released till now. That Can't Wait Too Long is fucking fantastic.

Best. Version. Ever

Busy Doin' Nothin' is in the new Gilmore Girls on Netflix.

That's awesome! What episode exactly?

I don't remember but its either episode 2 or 3 of the new season, it's playing in the background in Logan's apartment.

Busy Doin' Nothin' is in the new Gilmore Girls on Netflix.

Would have been nice if they used a better audio source on that.

I just saw this story on FB and came here immediately. The vapourware rock n' roll album! Again!

Love this series, so glad they finally did Pet Sounds. Was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and actually showing things other docs hadn't. Can we just get all that Smile studio footage released? Pretty please??

Smile was always going to be in mono and that's how it should be, as Brian intended.

That made me laugh 13 times.
