Thanks, CK. For those like me who can't see that vid, here's an alternative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur4Ps0hAG4M

Not sure who made that video, but that's not the song... if you need an alternate link, try this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiA25z3ra1c

Yesterday one of the finalists sang God Only Knows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esewCYA424k

I'm guessing a lot of people watched it. Katy Perry (one of the judges) said "the number 1 song that I wish I could have written is God Only Knows".

Found it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYIBU0hFwRg

I'd love to hear the other songs that were later redone by Foskett, in their original form... Were they ever released?

For context, Monae's last two albums and an EP were concept albums with her protraying an android robot name Cindi Mayweather

Or you could watch the first couple minutes of the film she made to go along with the album and it explains it

Here's the song credits, taken from that video:

In this video, at 3:15, Al is holding a sheet of paper with lyrics for Run James Run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgFF3n6xpM8



I wonder if there's a version with Al singing it.

It aired on Monday, here they are singing Time Of The Season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3vG7guwyqc

And here's A Rose For Emily: http://teamcoco.com/video/web-exclusive-the-zombies-a-rose-for-emily

Here's John Legend and Cynthia Erivo singing God Only Knows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R7kPZF8wRA

The version they performed on the show was shorter, piano only, and split in half. Hopefully this will raise awareness about the song and the Beach Boys.

The Pen Friend Club have recently released a cover of Sandy/Sherry/She Says That She Needs Me that combines all 3 versions: https://youtu.be/cG2WtChgYkk?t=600

EDIT: Darian has given their version a rave review: https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-pen-friend-club/from-darian-sahanaja-wondermints-brian-wilson-band/1429786820386867

"...arguably the best version of 'Sherry She Needs Me' I have ever heard! Sure, the original Beach Boys track from 1965 is amazing, but it was never finished properly. Brian made several more attempts at the song but it never lived up to the magic of the original session. But THIS version by The PenFriend Club does! Every 12-string electric guitar and brass section wall of sonic detail is here! And I adore the female vocal approach on it."

I have no idea who these guys are, I just found them on Spotify, and they have an entire live album of just Beach Boys songs, including one of the best live versions I've ever heard of Heroes & Villains:

https://open.spotify.com/album/4ODO36PaCt9A8VXCQXqUs1

They have a different version of Heroes & Villains on YouTube, but the Spotify one is way better, IMO.

Seems likely.

Someone should ask Brian if he remembers the time he gave Daffy Duck some canned slices of Pineapple so he could punch a hole in a wave. 

What the hell was I talking about?

Just found this guy who managed to remove the sound effects from the opening credits of the movie. It's not 100% perfect, but since it was never officially released, I guess it's as good as it gets: http://letthedjshakeyou.blogspot.com.ar/2009/07/beach-boys-make-it-big.html

Does anyone know if this version of Make It Big has ever been released?

Scans of the liner notes can be found here: http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/uas9961

Not a question, but I just noticed that the Surfin' demo form Hawthorne, CA, the demo from Becoming The Beach Boys, and the master take are all in a different key. And since the version used in the Surfin' Safari album is sped up, that's one more key. The Summer In Paradise version is in the same key as the master take.

It's already out on Spotify.

Most of us are familiar with this track from the American Graffiti movie; it builds an entire song around the opening guitar lick of Don't Hurt My Little Sister. What I didn't know was that in 1972, a year before the movie came out, the band had recorded a different version of the song which is even more Beach Boys-like, borrowing the drum line from the Beach Boys' version of Hushabye. You can listen to it here:

I can't hear the similarities with Be My Baby, but She's My Summer Girl sounds like a complete rip-off of I Love The Way You Love.

I can definitely hear the difference. The remasters (and remixes) on the HDCD release Summer Love Songs, for instance, sound exceptional.

I can hear the difference between the 1990 and 2001 remasters, what I meant was that I don't think I can hear the difference between a 2001 remaster with HDCD disabled or enabled (like, playing the discs using a regular CD player or playing them with Windows Media Player).

The 50th anniversary edition of Pet Sounds doesn't use HDCD, I wonder if Mark Linett has decided to stop using the technology.

I think this is what you are talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Definition_Compatible_Digital

HDCD encodes the equivalent of 20 bits worth of data in a 16-bit digital audio signal by using custom dithering, audio filters, and some reversible amplitude and gain encoding; Peak Extend, which is a reversible soft limiter and Low Level Range Extend, which is a reversible gain on low-level signals. There is thus a benefit at the expense of a very minor increase in noise.

In order to hear the difference, you need to use a player or software capable of decoding the HDCD tracks. The wikipedia article lists a bunch, including Windows Media Player.

Personally, I don't think I can hear the difference... But maybe my equipment isn't good enough.

EDIT: HDCD is discussed at length in this thread: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,5970.0.html

Another thing about the documentary, at one point Bruce mentions that "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" features all six Beach Boys singing. I'd always thought it was just Brian doing all the parts, so that's interesting.

Dennis is audible on the verses and recorded a lead vocal for it.  Only parts of it remain on the final mix.

Found this radio interview where Bruce mentions it again (at 14:32), referring to the Spanish section in IJWMFTT. Al, however, doesn't even remember the part

https://youtu.be/QaFsqQqvwuo?t=872

That bit Brian plays of Murry's "His Little Darling And You" sounds a lot like Brian's own "Just Like Me And You".

you're right Cristian! the melody is identical

Edit:  Great documentary by the way!

Great thread, thanks for bringing it up

Brian's musicians are recreating the song virtually note-for-note and that includes all the sounds.

Well, while we are at it... should they have someone yell "top, please!" during the bridge of Here Today?

Don't you think they would have been taken out of the song in the first place if Brian didn't want them there?

I'm not sure they could... According to these notes: http://www.beachboysfanclub.com/ps-tracks.html

The backing track retained the bell and horn sounds because, as Asher explained, "It had already been combined with the rest of the track and couldn't be removed or even de-emphasized."
