MOJO Special Spolier

[desmondo]

Well just about a spoiler

Having received my e-mail from Badlands in Cheltenham (the ebay seller) - I just happened to be nearby so popped along to see if I could rescue it - I couldn't but had a quick look through another copy - they had about another five or six available.

On my quick flick through here are some observations on the proviso is that it was only a quick flick

1. The whole mag is about 70 pages - the Smile special takes up 20 of those

2. I didn't see any reference to release date or tracklisting but as I said it was a quick flick through

3. There appears to be pretty substantial interviews with Brian, Mike and Al - didn't see Bruce but note above applies

4. Small Mark Linett panel which didn't appear to reveal anything startling that we don't know

5. Lots of nice pics from the period but I have a short memory

6. The single is beautifully packaged - the front is given over to Cabinessence and the illustration is NOT from Frank Holmes - it is a rather beautiful landscape painting including a mountain. I did ask if they could play it in the shop but no turntable.

7. I will listen to the single tomorrow and try and rip it to mp3

On a side note I can recommend the shop - they do good mail order - I have already placed an order with them for the box set even though they have no details - the owner did promise to e-mail stuff as he gets it - he has a good relationship with the rep.

My experience is that they send stuff out so you get it on the release day

Please understand the above is based on only a quick flick through so there may be more stuff in there that we all want to know

Hopefully my copy will arrive tomorrow so will post more

Even if anyone said no, it isn't like you'd listen.

Chances are you've already heard 'em, to judge from the timings.

And really, if they somehow found a new, unheard version of ANY SMiLE song, you can be sure they wouldn't include it as a free single in a magazine.

No doubt, but I think there's a slim chance that we at least get new remasters of the two songs, or (even slimmer) new mono or stereo mixes. We'll see.

And here's an Ebay pic of the single, that this seller is selling along with the mag:

Sounds great but, nothing new

[Les P]

So does this mean the vinyl version of TSS is also likely to have a Brother Records label?

[Jay]

It seems as thought the font was made to look like wooden logs, to fit the Cabinessence theme. Nice touch. 

[Matt Bielewicz]

Or... like the font used for the track listing on the back of Pet Sounds! That's the bit of continuity that occurred to me first. Even though Cabin Essence isn't very much like ANYTHING from Pet Sounds...!

It arrived - nothing particularly of note except

Brian says he didn't burn tapes, he did a 7 minute version of H&V and that VDP came up with initial the idea of doing the elements

Here is single cover

They filled 20 pages with that?!!

Is ther any info on the upcoming release or is all rehashing of the original story?

Also have you had a chance to play the single yet?

Edit: massive reading between the lines on my part but could Brian's remembering of a 7 minute heroes suggest his memory's been recently jogged i.e. by something on the sessions?

Ohand thanks desmondo for posting the pic. Looks beautiful!

No info on upcoming release unless its hiding

Will be listening to single shortly - I have to go to my neighbours - will post a review or something

He did say he's listened to the stuff again recently

Yes sadly lots of re-hash

Thanks for the info.

I think him claiming to have done a 7 min heroes, even if it isn't featured on the box, is interesting in itself.

Also makes me wonder, along with Dom Priorie's talk of how Alan has really got into the history of how the smile bits fitted together, whether Alan and Mark may have attempted to reconstruct a long Heroes, perhaps with clues from the BB's own acetates, or even just the detective work that Priore mentions. Conjecture I know, but a long Heroes would be a suitably ambitious and logical thing to try with this sessions release imo - It would definitely be a strong selling point, and could give this 'Smile' its own identity separate from BWPS.

Beautiful sleeve...the painting is of Maroon Creek flowing out of Maroon Lake about 15 miles northwest of Aspen, Colorado. The Maroon Bells are the peaks depicted...topping out at a little over 14,000 feet above sea level. Probably the most photographed in Colorado...

Many thanks for that Peter, appreciate the info as I wouldn't have been able to place them.

Nice pic, but I'd've liked to have seen the "meadow filled with grain there" and the "waves of wheat for your embracing…" in any Cabinessence image. The place the song puts me in mind of is the Historic Parsons Memorial Lodge at Soda Springs near Tuolumne Meadows, in Yosemite NP.

That don't have no waves of wheat either tho'!
