I once listened to his John, The Wolf King Of L.A. (1970) - thought it was okay but didn't stick with me. I'm a huge fan of the special M&P blend & tunes, though. I love it, it's one of my fav albums, every song is terrific but "Topanga Canyon" is an absolutely masterpiece and one of the best songs John have written.

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Stanley Shapiro wants to work with Brian

Stlanley Shapiro, the writer of the WIBNTLA lyrics, wrote this in you tube: When Evie Sands recorded our song "WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO LIVE AGAIN" it was placed on the ballot for a Grammy nomination for 'Song Of The Year'... following my co-writer's death in 1983, I wrote the lyrics to another song called "THE GYPSY QUEEN" ... a vision of an 'imprisoned' angel dancing on the waters of the Pacific Ocean... a loving tribute to the memory of Dennis. If Brian Wilson were to collaborate on this one incredible project, I think it would go straight to the top of the charts!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dt-blhfc_jM

How the hell could they keep stuff like WIBNTLA in the vaults and not issue it until now. Compare this with another popular band called The Beatles. What did they pull out of their archives for the Anthology series? Subpar material such as You Know What To Do, If You've Got Trouble, 12-Bar Original and Los Paranoias... Conclusion: The Beach Boys are better than the Beatles. The Beatles were smart enough to release their best songs in the albums and not let it shelved for forty odd years. Conclusion: The Beatles are smarter than The Beach Boys.

I wish that I could spread the wealth but I promised that I would not share.
Thank you! I don't regret to have sent you this sample for free. I realize that 30 seconds is really short but I sent 1:30 to people who accepted to sell me a CD from their collection. Hope you understand. I expect to make more deals in August since WIBNTLA won't be on MIC. Regarding the length of the track, my version is about 4:30 minutes long with about 3:30 minutes which are the song in itself and the last minute which is a jam. Where the information about a 7 minutes version come from? The really truth is that when MIC is released in August you won't feel so "special" anymore. "DEAL" with it.
