I appreciate Love You so much more now after hearing it's live performance. The vocals here, as well as the musicians, are incredible. And not only is Darian amazing, I think Rob does a great job too. Both of them blend perfectly with the Great Matt Jardine, who always brings his A game, and of course, Al. Would love to hear/see Sweet Sunday Kinda Love, if it's available.

I captured exactly 37 seconds.... You can get an idea, anyway!

All three of these songs are just so outrageously good!

and yep, There And Back Again made me cry on a train.

Maybe not the best album Brian ever got involved in, but for some reason when I heard he‘d died, I came to this first. Mainly for the last four songs, and the rawness of the lyrics. There‘s something magic going on here and the few filler tracks, autotune, etc, shouldn‘t blind us.

Regarding Nick Kent, not sure his account of events can be trusted. One of those he mentioned told me personally that her only experience of Kent was stepping over him when he was llying on the floor!

Fair but at least with regard to his Brian chapter, I didnt really see any original research or new anecdotes. He just kinda reiterates the SMiLE legend highlights from the primary sources. I think hes guilty of just repeating what we already know than making up wild claims.

Also genuine question but what books are there that are considered trustworthy?

According to the discredited WIBN "auto"biography, Brian forced himself on Barbara while tripping on acid the second time. So that's something.

As you wrote:  "discredited".

Right. Just sharing that its all Ive seen of her in the sources. Its almost like the ghostwriter thought "eh nobody knows Barbara, I can make up whatever I want about her!"

I heard through the grapevine that "I'll Always Love You" is out there now.

Haven't been able to find this one myself. This is an BB '85 outtake, correct?
