One example would be to include a 3-Disc Deluxe Version of Today! Which could have the Mono/Stereo versions, rehearsals, backing tracks, vocal sessions, Mike's version of Please Let Me Wonder ect. I've always wondered why this hasn't been officially released. There is no parallel (that I can think of) of a recorded alternate version of a very well-known BB song by a different BB member vocalist than the released version, sitting unreleased in the vault. Certainly not of any famous song from the band's "golden" years. The only thing that I could think of is perhaps Mike or Brian doesn't like that version and is embarrassed by it? Other than that possibility, I can't figure out why it hasn't been released after all this time. Has this track been booted before?

I wouldn't want another multi disk Smile set, just Disk 1 reissued in stereo with minor changes here and there. There's a discussion going on about this on the Linett thread. Do You Like Worms?, Fire, Surf's Up etc. in full stereo is preferable to Carry Me Home in my view. Also, anything I've heard from the Disk 2-5 material doesn't sound 'murky' or 'muddy'.
Just so you know, there was a stereo mix of Surf's Up on the final side of the Smile vinyl release. It sounds great. Here's the stereo Smile mixes I know of from the box set, the vinyl or from Made in California. Heroes and Villains (Stereo Mix) Our Prayer (2012 The Smile Sessions Stereo Mix) Surf's Up (stereo mix) Vega-Tables (Stereo Mix) You're Welcome (Stereo mix) Wind Chimes (Stereo Mix) The ones on the vinyl are not accessible to me, I'm afraid. I bet they sound glorious. Also, may I just stress that Mark Linett and Alan Boyd's reproduction and mixing talents will not last forever. We must not be distracted by 70s and 80s obscurities, which will always remain; concentrate on stereo Smile. Whatever the views of some here, an objective view should be taken. Ok i am pretty sure you are the only one that is wanting to see the Smile Package change to stereo and re released while everyone else is wanting the 70's and 80's unreleased tracks. there are websites online where you can change it to stereo or vis versa by yourself, if you really want to hear what the songs would sound like switched to stereo

What was Trump doing at an event for POWs? I thought he only liked vets who weren't captured. No matter the context, it's still a cringeworthy image. Oh boy, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Not this one. These are what you call wannabes. On the left is the one who will never be the President. On the right is the one who will never be The Beach Boys. [/quote Mike Love is a real Beach Boy and always will! I am sure he is more recognized as a Beach Boys then Brian Wilson is besides for hardcore fans like who realize is is equally part of the beach boys.

Touring band aka solo group behind Mike's personal support for Trump. For somebody who drones on and on for what's best for the corporate BRI, you seem to support this rash move 100 percent.
Mike is a conservative, and has been for awhile. So, I really wouldn't call his decision to support Donald Trump a rash decision. But, if you want to use this as yet another excuse to dump on Mike, more power to you. What if Mike, using the BB brand name, played at a David Duke rally (back when racist pig/noted Trump supporter Duke, was running for office)? Would that bug you? Does there exist a potential politician with absolutely *any* kind of views whatsoever that would finally cross the line and make you say "yeah, that is really not cool" regarding the band's association with said person? Since David Duke is a racist and a one time KKK, I wouldn't be too happy about it. Since Donald Trump is not a racist, then play on. . Well I'm glad you would nix the idea of being happy about them playing a Duke rally. I hope you can at least understand and empathize that if someone other than yourself believes that Trump is promoting racist views - even if you don't personally agree with that assessment - that it's at least understandable that people with that viewpoint (and there are many) would be put off by the brand name being associated with him. I get it. Trump's a polarizer. I'll respect somebody's opinion for/against Trump, as I'd expect the same in return. I'm not so certain if I'd go so far to empathize with that person. But, I think there's also some anti-Mike bias in play with this thread. Why does a vile POS like Donald Trump deserve respect? What did he do to you to make you think he is a "POS"?

Once the vocals kick in this feels like a BB recording no matter how unfinished and sketchy it is. This is pulled from the "Doin' It Again" documentary, where they inexplicably excerpted a song from the sessions that wasn't on the album. Sounds more promising than at least a few of the songs that made it on the album. Very promising! From what i hear it would flow righ along where it was going to be placed on the disc! An album can fit two hours of music why only put 35 minutes on! It wouldnt of hurt anything to add an extra three minutes! I think it may very well be in the best half of the album!

I understand why fans may want previously unreleased material, but as S. Desper has said on many occasions, all of their great work has already been released officially. Also, where does that ravenous completist mentality stop? Endless takes of Shortenin' Bread? Even obscure previously unreleased tapes like Where is She? etc. have been released. How much more could anyone want? Please don't think I'm indifferent to the unreleased post-Smile material, it's just that recently I've realised that Smile means more to me than 'Awake', for example. I'd love to see it in stereo, and I'm sure that future generations would too.
The people who want *totally previously unreleased* material are the "ravenous completists?" I'd say that goes more for wanting remixes of already-modern-day remixes. I'd say wanting a reissue of Disc 1 of the Smile box is far more along the lines of "ravenous completest" than wanting a full disc of unreleased 70s studio material. 100% agree with that! I guess I am a "Ravenous Completists" for all the material thats not released but there is something beyond that if you are wanting everything and then in all the different mixes!
