1) Is there going to be a rotation of Bass Players on the tour ??
2) Who is playing Bass on the new album ?
or 3) Have the backing tracks already been laid down ??

1) yeah - Carol Kaye/James Jamerson/Carol Kaye/Bob Lizik/Carol Kaye. Carol will also be playing drums, guitar, keys, tannerin and mallets
2) see above.
3) Some have.


  Please Tell us more Andrew, about any backing tracks, songs, overdubs, vocals. anything about the recordings
that doesn't violate or go over the line of any confidences, or bean spilling. Tell us what you can, without upsetting you're friends

Celebration would be a sensible if uninspired title. All of the promotion for this album should obviously be focused on the 50 year anniversary and the reunion element meaning that the style of music contained within would be less important and they could leave the fun in the sun stuff behind.

I think AGD's already going to have upset Carol Kaye by breaking her confidence regarding her upcoming work with the Beach Lads.  Bet she never talks to him again!   LOL

I also hope they manage to find and include at least one quality 'new' Carl lead vocal (not Soul Searchin, already released)

But it's not the same "Soul Searchin'" as the BB's one, since Carl's middle-eight was replaced by Brian's lead and there are no BB backing vox. I'd dearly love to see the version with Carl singing the whole song over the BB's backing vocals given a proper release.

That's by far the better anniversary logo than this other one which bases on Dean Torrence's famous Beach Boys logo. Hope they'll stick with this, but the official tour shirt has the Torrence logo + 50

Hey, guys! Mike just responded to a question I left on his Facebook page regarding whether the new record would be all newly written material or if we'd see some old unreleased material reworked for the album. Here's his response:

There will be a combination of both to look forward to. Really excited about some new stuff we are working on however.

I think it is him. To be honest, whoever is behind the page is not really that responsive. I see tons of wall posts that aren't replied to. It seems like Mike is a pretty busy guy hence he wouldn't have the time to go through and respond to everything that is written on his page.

I don't get the Indian on horseback logo and the Beach Boys.  Is that the original Brother Records logo?   I think they can do better than that today.

Right!?

My father, a great artist, made me a collage for Christmas: he assembled tiny pieces of cut up $ bills to form the Brother logo. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw it. If I could figure out how to post pictures to the board I'd definitely show you all...it's pretty incredible. I love that logo so much.

Regardless of whether it's him or not, at least we have official confirmation now that they're looking at old material and reworking it for the new record.

Hey, guys! Mike just responded to a question I left on his Facebook page regarding whether the new record would be all newly written material or if we'd see some old unreleased material reworked for the album. Here's his response:

Quote
There will be a combination of both to look forward to. Really excited about some new stuff we are working on however.


Two points, first, classic rock guys responding to email messages, they do. I have had many responses from, people
similar to Mike Love. Similar in stature and time frame. Whether I ever met them in the biz, or never had, I have had
responses from BBoys, Beatle people, various people. But I only ask the type of questions that you asked. Hey is this
unreleased song coming out, are you working on an album. I don't ask personal questions. Other than, hope things are
cool for you, or something simple.


As to the admission by Mike Love, that, YES, the new album will feature some old material. Can we clarify, old material,
which has never been heard in public, or reworkings of old B Boys hits like Do It Again, or reworkings of hits by other 60's
artists or what ?

What I'm trying to say, previously unreleased B Boys songs, would be great, something akin to Soul Searchin or She Says
that she needs me.  But remakes of old Jan and Dean hits or Johnny Rivers or remakes of classic Beach Boys hits, I don't want
that, Do it Again is ok, but the last thing I wanna hear is a 1/3 or half the album is remakes of Good Vibrations or Don't Worry Baby.
Wat the heck for? that will be on the live Celebration DVD anyway.

Andrew you can step in anytime, with a tidbit, about what "old Material" means, in the context of the new BBoy's album.

My personal hunch after reading,Love's comments, it means at least one song featuring Carl Wilson's vocals Will be reworked
maybe two songs. And a couple of cool B Boys tracks that were never officially released in the past. Combined with X number
of newer songs. That's my interpretation of Love's remarks. But that's just what would make sense to me, who knows. Andrew
probably knows, if he spills the beans too soon, he would jeopardize his contacts.

Maybe it's just too soon, and nobody actually has the answers yet. Maybe they have 17 tracks on the drawing board, Old, new,
and eventually a dozen cuts will make the album. If they do two or three extra, they can use them as exclusive bonus tracks, or some
future compilation album, featuring two brand new songs in 2016~!

It can still be official even when he has his "people" run it for him.  Considering they've uploaded some pictures from the Grammys and recording sessions that only people from the "inside" would have access to--it's clear that it's not a fake page run by some fan.

The way I phrased the question would make it seems that he's referring to previously unreleased material being given a second look. Hopefully we see songs like "Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again" and "Still A Mystery". At least, those are the two I'm hoping for the most.

Hopefully he's not talking abouzt re-recording old hits. That would ruin the whole thing for me.
How's about asking him that ? That woud be interesting to know, because as far as I have seen, most, if not all Beach Boys fans would hate re-recordings of already released material

If we get any re-recordings of old songs, I could see them doing one tops, likely "Do It Again". Any more than that would be a waste of CD space.

Say the record is 12 tracks; one remake of a classic tune, two-three remakes of unreleased Dennis/Carl songs and eight or so totally new compositions. I could definitely live with that.

Imagine "WIBNTLA" makes it onto the new album, we are all excited, and it is just the version of "Wouldn't It Be Nice" from Pet Sounds, with "to live again" spoken audibly after the "Wouldn't it be nice..." break.

Experts like AGD talk about how brilliant it is, and when we point out that it is just the original WIBN song with three extra words, he acts like we are crazy. That would be funny and a great comedic payoff after all this build-up.

Still though, I am psyched as heck for the tune, and we stand a better chance of getting it this coming year than we ever have before. I would imagine that this one would make it to the new box set or rarities compilation as opposed to the new studio album. Time to listen to the Marsland version...
