Oooops! I really didn't know that, since Brian said he had everybody wear fire helmets during the 'fire' session I was convinced that the footage was indeed from this very session...strange (I seem to remember that I had also read this several times but I might be wrong). If the footage was not taken at the 'fire' session - where and when was it taken? Please let me know if you have any information on this so that I can correct the liner notes.

Why would they take it down?

- If you go through the set track by track (and read the notes) you'll see that these are all alternate versions and mixes.
- I don't make any money with this.
- This is not a bootleg.
- The official release was issued in 2011 so I guess people still interested in 'Smile' most surely bought it years ago (and again: my collection ADDS to the official one - it doesn't make the 'old' box set superfluous!)
- It's free advertisment for the Beach Boys, I don't want to rip them off I want to promote them!

I know this kind of thing is always debatable. If the band would want me to take it down I would immediately delete the files. Nevertheless the web is a jungle and you can quickly find practically everything you're looking for (not necessarily my set but music in general) - it's out there anyway...
So please don't take it down, give everybody a chance to enjoy this!

Hi everybody,

Since several people wrote to me and asked for a new link - here you go. I'm sorry that it took so long but I massively extended the collection because I wanted to include new stuff and not just present the same set again. So what's new?

- complete liner notes for each disc / every folder
- updated picture gallery
- new version of 'H & V'  (D. Parks acetate, vocal mix)
- new version of 'H & V (Part II)'  (A Cappella)

- COMPLETE 'HEROES & VILLAINS' SESSIONS: - Master Sections
                                                                        - Master Tracks & Vocals
                                                                        - Outtakes & Rehearsals

I cut all master- and alternate mixes as well as all the session tracks back into sections so that you can quickly try out any possible sequence / combination of the material. Included is everything that was ever intended or tried out for the song and you not only get all the final master sections, you get the master backing tracks, a cappella sections, outtakes and rehearsals as well - in the best possible sound quality, whenever possible in stereo but the unique mono mixes are also included!

- 'SMILE' ERA VIDEO COLLECTION: - 'Mrs. O'Leary's Cow'  (New edit with stereo sound)
                                                       - 'Do You Like Worms?'  (New montage video with stereo sound)
                                                       - 'Good Vibrations'  (New video clip with stereo sound)
                                                       - 'Surf's Up'  (Brian's solo performance on 'Inside Pop')
                                                       - 'God Only Knows'  (Live, Hawaii 1967)

This took me months to finish. I made completely new videos for the first three songs while the last two are high quality versions of the known edits.

'Mrs. O'Leary's Cow' is a unique combination of the 'Fire' session footage Dennis Wilson took and scenes from the promo clip originally shot for 'Good Vibrations' - it's not the version presented on the 'An American Band' DVD, it's a totally new edit.

'Do You Like Worms?' is a montage of various Beach Boys clips shot between 1966 and 1967, it features the epic 'Carl turns into Dennis and back' sequence as well as multiple clips of the band rehearsing, performing and goofing around in Hawaii - all arranged following the rhythm of the song and taking cues from the lyrics. 

'Good Vibrations' is neither the afore mentioned promo clip nor a live performance synched up with the studio version. Let's keep this a surprise...

That's it folks!
This time I use google drive as several people suggested - I never did this before, so let me know if the link works.

No, I'm sorry - no more liner notes. I thought about doing this, but I was too exhausted to do ANY more work. Maybe I'll do it later...but I really need a break. I worked for so long and so hard on this that I'm totally burned out (I can really relate to Brian's state of mind in late 1967 now....'Smile' really sucks you dry....and I only edited the stuff!).

Since several people mentioned "Child is Father": I knew that there would be controversy about the fly-ins, that's why I also included the unaltered stereo mix. Generally I'm not a big fan of fly-ins either but I wanted to experiment a bit with "Child" - just to see what I could do with it. The fly-ins worked surprisingly well and I really liked the result. It just makes the song sound a bit more finished but I understand everybody who is a little 'bewildered' by them - it takes time to get adjusted to this. Some may find it sacrillegious and they have a point as well! I just wanted to present mixes and edits that haven't been done before - as I believe people who are still interested in 'Smile' already own every official release and have their own collection of bootlegs. So in addition to the stuff that's already out there I compiled this set. I think with this and the previously released material you can really put your own perfect 'Smile' together.

Thank you all and God bless Brian!

Basically these are all my own edits & remixes - I excluded everything that has been released before. Of course there are a couple of tracks I didn't do too much with, apart from editing and eq-ing - but the one and only track I didn't work on was the mono 'GV Box Set' version of 'Wind Chimes' (and I thought about excluding this one also, but since it's an integral part of the alternate mono album I left it in). My own private version of this compilation set has some more tracks but I didn't want to include the stuff that every serious collector already has - also I didn't want to exactly double the stereo and mono tunes, which I could have done. For the most tracks I chose stereo over mono because I think that's what most people are looking for.

To everybody: if there really is SERIOUS trouble with blankety-blank zippyshare, I'll load it up somewhere else. It's strange, I never had any problems with that site (maybe they changed something??) and I chose it because it's free and very fast (I suffer from a very shitty internet-connection).
What is the best FREE file-sharing host? Where else can you just drag & drop the files in without signing up and/or paying?
