BTW, looking on Tidal, details say ”copyright 2020 Iconic Artists Group, LLC”. I’m beginning to doubt that this is an official release... No sign of UMG/Capitol anywhere.
The plot thickens. Granted, anyone can paste a copyright or ownership tag on anything posted online, the more dubious the more likely it can be done, HOWEVER: Take a look at this discussion which fell off the radar here a few months ago: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,27459.0.html"Iconic Artists Group" is under the same umbrella of LLC's and business entities as "Iconic Brothers LLC", which is - as you can read at that link - The LLC listed June 26, 2020 that acquired the BB's song titles from Mike's interests. Again, read the link. "Iconic Artists", "Iconic Brothers"...those company names are attached to multiple interests sharing the same corporate address as Irving Azoff's various interests, as Azoff is a co-founder and owner of "Iconic Artists". For those unaware of who Irving Azoff is, google the name. So if this dump of live material is listed to "Iconic Artists Group LLC", it connects directly to the group of interests and LLC's under the "Iconic" umbrella of holdings and Irving Azoff's interests, and that signing over of Mike's interests in the songs listed in the public documents at the link above into "Iconic Brothers". That's all I'll post about it, but for those interested in going down the rabbit hole and some truly inside baseball, the links to start with are there. That is, unless someone just felt like tagging "Iconic Artists Group LLC" onto a collection of bootlegged live tracks ripped from other sources...but I doubt that's the case. Happy digging. How did it end up on the _official_ BB ch. Have they lost all control? And how did the FF snippets end up on Allmusic???

Given how no form of release has happened for any live recordings made in 1970, am I right in understanding that as of 00:01 tonight, these recordings become public domain within the EU? Or does the fact the the original recordings have the Copyright extension, mean the live versions do as well?
Interesting question. And what about the FF stuff that was on Allmusic a while ago? BTW, could someone please explain how the snippets ended up on a site like Allmusic - and nowhere else? And however interesting could someone please move the McCartney stuff - isn't this thread about FF? Thx...

While the guitar work on "Love You" is obviously pretty sparse, some of the guitar work buried in there is pretty tasty. "The Night Was So Young" has some really interesting guitar work buried under there.
Thanks for the information all!! Love "The night...", it's so beautiful it feels deep down in your stomach. And listen to the clever and tasty guitar playing on "Roller..." 😀

Sean O'Hagan said it best: "As far as I can see, Joe Thomas hasn't got a clue about Brian Wilson or his legacy. It's all just 'Little Deuce Coupe' to him. He wanted Brian to make a big Eighties ballad record, all cavernous snares. He kept referring to Brian's potential as an Adult Contemporary crossover artist. I sad, 'Don't you realize Brian Wilson is essentially a 20th-century avant-garde pop genius?' And he went, 'Avant-garde? Not the Brian Wilson I know'"
Brian always was - and still is - an innovative writer/artist, not one of those "contemporary" artists! Sean O'Hagan is absolutely right! It's just that Brian is too weak, or rather, too kind to say what he thinks, to get rid of people... Remember Landy?? A rock star??? http://www.gettyimages.se/detail/nyhetsfoto/brian-wilson-with-dr-eugene-landy-outside-rehearsal-for-nyhetsfoto/77697551

Thanks for the Soundcloud preview!!! Sounds great, but a little too much of that melancholy Imagination sound... With Al, Blondie and David on the album I was expecting at least a couple of real rockers... The samba song is great, On the island, as is the disco type song, Runaway dancer... I’m Feeling Sad - Summer means new love w/lyrics - a pleasant surprise!

I'm a little surprised that the Hollens song is on the album. It's been available for a few months now on his own album. I was not expecting it to appear on NPP.
And then comes the next question: why isn't Emile Haynie - "Falling Apart" (Feat. Andrew Wyatt & Brian Wilson) on the album? Love it!! http://youtu.be/uo2JLzGiEj4I think NPP features BW compositions, or co-compositions. He didn't have a hand in writing "Falling Apart," as far as I know, or the Mini Mansions tune, either. He did, however, write "Our Special Love" with JT, so ... Ok, thanks!!

I could listen to that pedal steel intro for hours, I love that! I'm happy this will get a(nother) official release. Blondie and Ricky had great material and I'd love to hear more of it.
BTW this would be another one that would've been a better choice for "Stars&Stripes" than most of what was used.
Blondie and Ricky did a lot for the BB - their songs are super!! And, yes, that pedal steel intro is something else. Also the singing on the bridge (correct term?)("I made my home out in the city..." etc) is heavenly...
