Goin' To The Beach/Follow Me To The Sea

Just, er,
come into
a bunch of cds full of rarities, including Goin To The Beach and Follow me To The Sea. What is the history behind these songs please, anyone know? According to the somewhat unreliable cd liner notes (LOTS of bad grammar/spelling!), they date from the 'Surf's Up' sessions, however I've never heard these songs mentioned as having been part of those sessions and so I'm assuming they're from a later date.
Also, I'd never heard it before but 'Viggie' by Mike - wow! What a great song! Where the hell did he pull that one from?? Is it a solo writing credit? Furthermore, why, when he was capable of producing a song such as this, did he release the breathtakingly appalling Lookin' Back With Love? Truely, he is a very complex bloke.

"GTTB" is a
KTSA
outtake. The other title, I think, is a mislabelled Dennis solo track. Certainly no song of his has that official title as far as I'm aware. Rings a bell, mind.

I see mentions being made on boards about a Dennis Wilson song from the early 70's called "Follow Me To The Sea". Any one know anything about this track?
It's a different name for an overdubbed version of the "quad symphony".

Thanks... now I recall, someone
sent
played
it to me last century. That one does date from 1970/71, but it's nothing to do with
Surf's Up

Viggie is on one of Mike's unreleased solo albums, First Love, which also has "Brian's Back" and "Sumahama".

First heard Mike's solo albums back in the early 80s... "Viggie" is great (both versions): written about his then English girlfriend, Virginia.

Yeah i knew where Viggie originated from. It really is a great song. Sad that Mike is/was capable of such great music but that his reputation is pretty much irredeemably tarnished...

I don't remember if I ever heard "Viggie".

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Fascinating video. I've seen that before. It's just a shame this is the only decent footage of the Beach Boys working in the studio. I don't count Stars and Stripes.
