Regarding the Murry/Brian dynamic on the "Won't You Tell Me" demo, am I the only one who kind of think that they are both being deliberately condescending to each other? Murry saying that it was the best thing Brian had sung in five years, and Brian's overly dramatic laugh.

Perhaps Stephen Desper can chime in with information about the original mastering matrix, because there is some controversy regarding the digital remastering of these post Capitol albums going back to the original set of Joe Gastwirt remastered CD's in 1990. I've always found there to be a world of difference between the 1990 CD and the original LP pressing that goes way beyond analogue 'warmth'. It wasn't until I heard about the mastering matrix that this made sense. So perhaps it is the lack of the correct mastering matrix which is impairing your listening experience? Try the original LP if that is the case.
COMMENT to Greg Parry, The matrix is analog not digital. If you wish to hear the correct and Carl Wilson approved release of SF and SU, the only source for this today are my Study-Videos. I am sorry that you must deal with passwords and other security things, but this is all required of Copyright Law in the United States. My book comments on these copyrighted recordings as they play and provides resolved versions, mastered by Carl and myself in the best fidelity I can provide. Most fan feedback is positive and comments reflect what I heard when I re-mastered all my recordings for use in the Study-Video series of explanations and experiences during my time as BB engineer.
The above release (via Artisan) and approval of the first pressing issues marked the end of my connection and/or control over any further modifications made to these productions by other mastering houses or individual engineers. Without matrix resolution, the whole (re) issue is kind of like DOA. All these productions were intended to be released in, what today would be called "virtual surround." It's all encoded within the original master, but no one seems to care enough to release the resolved version.
It's very frustrating as an artisan and engineer to create a work of art, but not be able to get it released as it should be. Like painting in color, but only being able to make copies in black and white. So at least you can find a source for these productions in their intended format, even if the record companies are stuck in stereo.
At one time the good folks here at Smilesmile hosted the series for several years. It is currently available at one of the other popular message boards. Registration is required there as it was here; part of the copyright law.
abonnevillemariner -- look for a personal message for more details. ~SWD Would you ever make your study videos available here again sometime? |

Where on earth did that come from???  Missed it ... it's been taken down already, damn. . Whatever you guys are talking about, could you share with the rest of us, please?? Did we all miss something incredible? It was an upload of an alternate version of The Trader, the ending jam from Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again, and an alternate version of In My Room. |

That first close up shot of them is actually pretty damn good. If I hadn't known any better I would have thought it was a color photo. That being said, I still hate the idea of colorizing black and white film.
