Excited for the Til I Die demo to finally see public release, even though it's not much. Still a very interesting piece.

Is the demo the version with the "positive" and "uplifting" Mike lyrics?

Nope, it's purely instrumental. Like the Don't Talk demo.

Any chance of the '70s Friends remakes making this release? That would be awesome but the new potential track info is already incredible!

Nope. Tapes were stolen a while back from what I've heard.

Poll still says Slightly American Music 

I can't really say, but I don't have any reason to doubt the source that's told me this. It must've been after this article was published.

I would say the most important tracks they could include on this upcoming compilation album are the 1970s "Friends" remakes, which Brian was persuaded to reclaim his legacy with during that period. If these are kept in the vaults for some reason, it would be devastating. Also hoping for the "America, I Know You" backing track and those "Friends" Desper remixes that are on his website, but polished up for a commercial release

Unfortunately the tapes for the Friends remake were stolen, so don't expect that.

Posted this on PSF and almost forgot to post it here. I have it on good authority that there will be a '68 set coming in November. From what I hear, the physical version will be smaller than the digital one.

Oh hey Watamushi, cause I forgot to when I was doing this on PSF; add in the Paley Sessions songs inbetween OCA and Imagination, and add Believe In Yourself as one of the non album tracks for GIOMH.  

Paley tracks would be these:
Proud Mary
Chain Reaction of Love
Marketplace
I'm Broke
Slightly American Music
My Mary Anne
Must Be A Miracle
It's Not Easy Being Me
Fantasy Is Reality/Belles of Madness
In My Moondreams
Everything I Need
Goin' Home
Frankie Avalon
Elbow '63
God Did It
What Rock and Roll Can Do
Dancin' The Night Away
What A Wonderful World

Believe In Yourself is this

Released 10 years ago today!

I would presume some sources pull the track from here (others perhaps from vinyl; the vinyl is probably more common than the CD); this is about as good as it could sound outside of a full legit remaster.

This is the first time I've seen an Up the Creek CD. Is this a legit release or a boot or homemade copy? If legit, can you tell me where and when you found it? I've been intending to digitize Chasin' the Sky from my Up the Creek LP, but a copy from an official CD would be even better.

Discogs doesn't list any official CD release so it's probably a boot.

Does anybody really give a sh*t what Marks would have to say in a Q&A. He hasn't been with the group since 1963. He was only brought back into the group because Carl died.

Why are you so fucking negative?

Thought some people might wanna check this out. Discord is basically a modern chat room and here's a Beach Boys server for it.

Get Back

I love the 4th of July album 

Perhaps my banning should be looked at anew? I was treated pretty shabbily with little-to-no communication. I'm sure the powers-that-be over there will push against it but I think it'd be fair.

I'll ask about it, but don't expect much.

I'm a mod there too now. Me and Watamushi will do our best to keep the board civil alongside the other mods. We won't play favorites.
