Interesting new Mike interview, with new release date

[Mikie]

The above statement is correct!

So any bets as to whether "Do It Again" or whatever they decide to release comes out on a 78 rpm record?

I'm suggesting they do a Beatles Anthology thing and use an unreleased track or tracks with Carl (and Dennis) on there and overdub their voices.

if the BB were smart, they would let Alan do as much of the lead singing as possible in any reunion type projects. He cam sing circles around the others.

No argument there, but unfortunately he's a proven loose cannon. Ain't gonna happen.

[Mike's Beard]

Wow did Al's loose lips reguarding the Smile boxset really piss off that many people Andrew?

I know you probably can't say more , but anything besides the Smile leaks contributing to that. I would think leaking the Smile info would be good and build it up. You would think you would still want the best voice to do the singing...loose cannon or not. Then again...it's The Beach Boys.

Mike and I sat down last night over dinner and discussed a lot of things. Among them, he and Brian going into Capitol Records and recording "Do It Again" together.  He said when he finished recording his vocal Brian said, "Not bad for a 70 year old."  At that point Mike laughed.

Mike would not go into much detail, but did say the main reason for doing it was to see if they could do it as an effort to prove it to one another.  Mike even asked me about logo designs… so he's got his mind on a 50th packaging.

Brian's still got his banter intact, I see

Of course!! Don't you realize that he is one the most dangerous individuals in BBdom?? A typical Manson type, you know? Tally up the damage he's done and no wonder he's the anti-Christ incarnate. He should be feared an hated. Who friggin' cares if he can sing well?

Very interesting indeed.  Even aside from the musical aspect, it's nice to hear of Brian and Mike joking around like that.
