They say on the site that this mix doesn't use DES by the absence of an asterisk, but IMO that's an error.  Someone correct me if this is wrong, but I think the 2nd vocal overdub and accompanying guitar part were recorded during the mono mixdown and would be impossible to include in a true stereo mix (similar to Help Me Rhonda and a load of other mono only tracks from this era).  The mix they have on the website also has elements in it that are clearly re-channeled to stereo that were not separated at all in the original instrumental track.  I think they used their DES tech on the mono mix, which IMO is not the ideal way to tackle a song where 2/3rds of the recorded elements are available to mix in stereo.  And if such a true stereo mix of IGA actually did exist, I doubt it would make it's debut on a non-Capitol compilation.

Cat in the ava is found in the Internet. I collect retro cat pics. It's the best. Do your cats sit catloaf? Isn't it cutest cat pose? Seeing it is like "d'aw!".

Retro cat pic collecting seems like a fun hobby! My cats all sit the catloaf way, very cute indeed. I love how they tuck all their paws under themselves for catloaf. Another cute pose is when they are totally relaxed they sometimes lie on their backs with their bellies up and all four paws stretched out. They don't have a care in the world!

Stacy got weird voice. Boo!

"Police Academy 3" is the best.

I'd like to see good films.

Read it quickly but I've been cooking and entertaining visitors today so haven't commented but couldn't get past the long run-on sentence and I hope Mari that you are not using it as a way of better learning the English language but rather just for entertainment. Whew!
Seriously , the ending seemed like just so much silliness. But I'll read it again later.

On first reading it, the image reminded me of one of John Lennon's drawings.

Thanks to pay attention. Not sure why MaryUSA's thread got bumped. Bizarre. Everytime negativity. Folks, quit thinking about bad things around the world, don't watch news at least single time.
I ask good people here to help me out - instead, people go to MUSA's thread. Wow.

It's short tale, Liz. It isn't long at all. I just try to make sense of that tale. What's even going there. I found the tale by clicking to it & reading. & I didn't get it. & asked help if smb. can explain it. It's site to relax & read fun short scary tales - I'm goosebumps fan, you know written by R. L. Stine. That site is rife with similar stories.

Haha! You just proved that John is lousy painter. In alternate planet, if he chose painting as his future pursuit, he wouldn't succeed as he did with music. Yep.

Debbie KL - as you see, I replied to Jay. Figured I'd get support that actually, I defend Melinda, not be told I "mischaracterize" your posts. & sadly, it isn't true that *anyone* here doesn't ignore what Melinda accomplished. Many do ignore that fact, if you read thru many posts in many threads.

Including Jay who you thanked. Here's few examples:

I remember that when it aired. Brian jumps all over Melinda for badmouthing Marylin. 

Seriously? Laughing at Melinda being scolded by Brian? It strikes me as really unpleasant, as if Jay derides her.

Hey, if Brian decides tomorrow that he and Mike are on the same creative page and they fly off to some remote island retreat to write pop masterpieces, I'd say "cool beans!"  I don't anticipate that, because it doesn't seem to be the way Brian works these days. I also don't expect Mike to tune up the mega tour bus caravan with the 40 piece orchestra, giant video screen and catered birthday cake for the next Beach Boys gig. Mike needs to concede to Brian's current creative method, and Brian needs to give Mike more comfort room in the tours. They need to let each other play to their strengths instead of making demands in the areas of their weaknesses. 

I'm with you on that.

I think Melinda is the one who needs to be sent to a remote island.

Here, Debbie KL, it's very clearly shown to you that Jay definitely ignores Melinda's accomplishments. The style he speaks about Melinda is very much looking like derision & annoyance by her, that he doesn't like her being Brian's management team. As if it's up to Jay to decide it.

Glad to help.

Just to clarify, my "sick" comment the other day was regarding the subject of the will and what might have happened if actions hadn't been made. I also started to think about people like Debbie, who actually witnessed what went down back then, and it occurred to me that we probably only know a small fraction of just how horrible things got for Brian. That's what kind of turned my stomach a bit and gave me a sick empty feeling. I don't think we can ever thank you, Debbie, for being there for him during that time.

Thx to you Jay. You couldn't have been more correct. I saw things no one should ever have to see. I won't be sharing them for that reason. Brian doesn't need to relive them, nor anyone else. I think any caring human who loved Brian would have done whatever they could. In my case, I didn't get the job done.

I don't think anyone here is trying to ignore what Melinda has accomplished - least of all me if anyone cares to look at my history of posts. I think her, Gloria's and my friends' efforts made them genuine heroes. I'm getting a bit tired of having my thread of posts mischaracterized, along with others who've posted.
