My initial report upon listening to the Beach Boys disc:

The 80s tracks sound good. The version of Summer In Paradise is the Wembley version. And as for the a cappella All Summer Long, its just an edited version of what was released on Keep An Eye On Summer (none of the intro matter).

For the curious, theres information on all five discs of the CD set on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/label/1082964-Beach-Music-Classics.

According to someone on Reddit, Becoming the Beach Boys will have a special vinyl release for Record Store Day Black Friday. Red, blue, or yellow vinyl.

Dammit Mike, stop rerecording stuff... Roll Eyes

Say what you will, but the new DIA kills.

The good news is that Mike recorded a new version of Surfin USA for the various-artist collection in addition to Do It Again.

At my local bookstore in the middle of nowhere, there was a stack of books signed by Mike although he hasnt made an appearance in the area. Is this some indie bookstore exclusive or something? Sorry if I missed someone else discussing this.

I think theres a new recording of it in the Mikes books trailer, too, if Im not mistaken.

FYI you can get a copy signed by Dean for twenty bucks at http://www.surfcityallstars.com/store.html.

TJ Lubinsky confirmed on the BSN Stereo board that Mike cut a new version of Do It Again just for this project.

That explains it - But is it billed/labeled as "The Beach Boys" or as another band name on this collection's tracklisting? I didn't even check the full list, but is the original Beach Boys "Do It Again" on this full set as well, or is this remake now replacing it for fans who buy this set?

Its not listed in any of the track listings I could find for the five CDs, but Ill report back when I get my set in a couple weeks (Im a weak man).

During the pledge drive segments, I noticed they listed Do It Again by Mike Love as one of the songs included in the pledge drive gifts, and they played a brief clip of what sounded like a new recording. Anyone else catch that?

how far was that into the pledge?


I think they had three segments asking for donations and played the clip during the second segment.

Perhaps it's this?  It says Adrian Baker but it has Mike on lead vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUUPw2PdXaQ

I dont think it was the Adrian Baker recording. What I heard sounded fuller production-wise and it seemed to actually rock. But who knows, it could be. I only heard the clip once, and it was probably less than 10 seconds long.

Shot in the dark, but could they have used the C50 version? 

Possible, but not sure why they credited it to Mike Love. Whats strange is that Do It Again by any performer isnt listed in the track listings of any of the 5 CDs, at least according to the information on WETAs pledge website.

Some good points, HeyJude. I really enjoy your posts.

Unfortunate that this is the stuff that BRI (and Capitol) are wasting their time on instead of opening up the archives.


I think this is a somewhat disrespectful comment. This release was made to support a pledge drive that shares the music with a wide audience and helps fund public broadcasting (which I would argue is for the public good). Its not like its some contrived, redundant compilation designed to line store shelves. I hardly think their support of this special is a waste of their time, especially considering the CD release looks more signed off on than meticulously planned/organized by BRI.  

I suspected someone might point out that the item is for a pledge drive. I don't think there's anything "disrespectful" in my comments. Cynical perhaps, but not disrespectful.


I would definitely say the comment is disrespectful to BRI. BRIs main responsibility is not servicing hardcore fans; there are other aspects and responsibilities of sharing the Beach Boys legacy. Is approving the licensing of a song for a movie a waste of BRIs time? I imagine theres a lot going on in the ongoing operations of BRI. I would not say participating in this project is indicative of poor management. They are currently taking part in their second flagship archival release this year with the release of Becoming the Beach Boys this Friday. Participating in the pledge drive is smart; they make money on a new release without cannibalizing the sales of flagship archival releases and while sharing the music with a broader audience. Not that Wipe Out is going to help bring in new fans.

Has the a capella All Summer Long been released before?  I'm blanking on this question.

Its on the digital-only Keep An Eye On Summer release from 2014.
318  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Mikes new PBS special (and an interesting new BBs compilation) on: August 20, 2016, 05:46:09 PM
Thought I might as well start a thread to discuss a new My Music PBS special that is being hosted by Mike entitled Summer, Surf and Beach Music We Love. This is a clip show featuring vintage videos by the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, etc. Looks like an interesting watch.

But perhaps more interesting for us BB fanatics are the Thank You gifts offered by making a donation to a PBS station, including one of the most fascinating Beach Boys hits compilations I have ever seen: Summer Favorites. Its track listing, via WETA:

1. California Girls
2. I Get Around
3. Surfer Girl
4. Wouldnt It Be Nice
5. Summer Means New Love
6. Goin To The Beach
7. Little Deuce Coupe
8. God Only Knows
9. Still Cruisin
10. Surfin USA
11. Summer In Paradise
12. The Warmth Of The Sun
13. Barbara Ann
14. California Feelin
15. Fun, Fun, Fun
16. Island Girl
17. Dont Worry Baby
18. Somewhere Near Japan
19. Good Vibrations
20. Summer Of Love
21. Kokomo
22. Surfs Up
23. Wipe Out with The Fat Boys
24. Happy Endings with Little Richard
25. All Summer Long (a cappella version)

This is unbelievable. Most of the 80s tracks from Still Cruisin. California Feelin. Summer of Love sequenced merely two tracks before Surfs Up. And what I believe to be the CD debut of Happy Endings. What a disc.

321  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Al Jardine to Guest Star on DECKER: UNCLASSIFIED on: July 17, 2016, 03:36:22 PM
Guys, that's the point of the show haha. It's intentionally low budget with poor green screen effects and stilted dialogue. If you watch it with that in mind, it might make more sense. Decker's character is a mix of Trump and Steven Segal.

Oh, I understood exactly what he was going for. I just don't find it funny, but that's okay. I would like to know how Al became involved.

Tim Heidecker said on Twitter the other day that hell never tell how he got Al, for whatever reason.

Inside The Music Of Brian Wilson: Phillip Lambert Pg 158

....Dennis contradicts the main message with his spoken interjection "But not for us now".

So clearly Brian doesnt even sound like Dennis. Ill go write my own book.
323  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: July 09, 2016, 10:20:25 PM
Who says "Not for us now!" in All Summer Long?
Its AL, or so I've always thought...

I hear Brian
324  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Al Jardine to Guest Star on DECKER: UNCLASSIFIED on: July 09, 2016, 10:43:48 AM
I guess it makes more sense now why Al posted this on his Facebook fan page last week:

325  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Al Jardine to Guest Star on DECKER: UNCLASSIFIED on: July 08, 2016, 09:18:02 PM
Wow. I was just watching the new episode of the Adult Swim alt comedy TV show Decker: Unclassified and they ran a bumper for the next episodeAl is guesting in an acting role. I cant believe my eyes. Two of my worlds colliding. Bizarre. Look out for it a week from now at midnight. Wish I could rewind my TV...
