"Made in California" Box Set

[bgas]

Was this only Brian's vocals, recorded Karoake style, over the Spector backing tracks?

[Jason]

I don't think Phil Spector used farting synthesizers in 1965.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Yeah, he used real farts

[Jason]

Yeah, he used real farts

Heavily reverbed for that Wall of Sound effect.

[The Heartical Don]

Yeah, he used real farts

Heavily reverbed for that Wall of Sound effect.

You should smell what comes out of me speakers during 'He Hit Me (And It Felt Like A Kiss)'

Thread over. There is nothing funnier to be said here.

Let's vote on it

[Shady]

I'm so f***ing excited for the track list..

How awesome is this box set going to be

[Myk Luhv]

I hope the sixth disc is a complete mixdown session for "Bluebirds Over the Mountain"!

[punkinhead]

I'm hoping the single edit of Isn't it Time is on the box, I can't really buy the other one that's on Itunes

[Cabinessenceking]

Mike is ultimately the one who says yay or nay for the tracks on the boxset. He said he wants it to be more Beach Boys than just an anthology of BW products. So maybe we'll get Country Pie? Or some others from First Love?

People don't listen to The Beach Boys to hear Myke's stuff. People recognize Brian as the only true creative force in the band, along with significant contributions from Dennis, some from Carl and Al. Hardly anything from Bruce, but slightly more from Mike (I'm not considering pre-65 lyric writing). As Dennis said himself: We are his messagers.

[Jason]

We ARE his messagers...we only talk ad nauseam about the music!

[Awesoman]

wait what? are you all saying there exists BW version of You've lost that lovin' feeling? in addition to our beloved BB cover of Just once in my life?

Well I guess we don't need it on the box set now.  It's on Youtube.  And it's pretty awful.

Youtube is no substitute for cd quality!!!
But, yeah, I don't think it's any great shakes. Especially compared to the, um, righteousness of the original version.

Really guys? I'm kinda surprised. I think Brian's version of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" is one of the best unreleased things I've heard from The Beach Boys vault. It's a great performance by Brian, and crazy as it sounds, I might even prefer his version to the Righteous Brothers, as wonderful as their version is.

In other news, we need a tracklist!!!

[over and over]

we need a tracklist!!!

They might still be in the process of confirming tracks imo.
Here's my theory - Brian listens to his 1975 piano demo of In The Back Of My Mind and says "NO!, my voice sounds horrible on that!" and boom, we never get to hear it and its lost in the vaults forever.  

[Camus]

Some of the unreleased stuff I'd like to see on it are:

Mony Mony (and the other 15 big one out takes like Sea Cruise etc..)

Think you'll find "Sea Cruise" was released over 30 years ago. 

I knew as soon as I typed that you'd pull me up on it.

[Dead Parrot]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that "Carry Me Home" makes the final tracklist. Which means it almost certainly won't.

[Disney Boy (1985)]

Has Mike really said he wants it to be a Beach Boys boxset, not a Brian boxset? Has he honestly said that? If so, he's even worse than i'd imagined. God, does this mean we're going to get a load of average Mike/Al/Bruce stuff in place of quality Wilson product? Please say it aint so. I'd rather no boxset at all than an incredibly annoying frustrating one.

No, he's not. Any voting member of BRI can veto any suggested track, just as they did with the 1993 box (Where Carl, Alan & Brian all nixed material) and WOTS (Mike).

[Nicko1234]

No, he's not. Any voting member of BRI can veto any suggested track, just as they did with the 1993 box (Where Carl, Alan & Brian all nixed material) and WOTS (Mike).

Which songs were vetoed?

Soulful Old Man Sunshine?
Let Him Run Wild?
Loop de Loop?

What did Mike veto?

[Nicko1234]

Personally I hope that the number of cover versions is kept to a minimum.

From the 15BO and KTSA eras alone you could have Rock and Roll Music, Sea Cruise, Mony Mony, On Broadway, You`ve Lost That Lovin` Feelin`, Running Bear, Back in the USSR, Da Doo Ron Ron, I Will Always Love You etc. Too much and I would much prefer to hear originals.

He vetoed WIBNTLA from WOTS, the moron.

I would have done the same thing. It's far less appropriate in that setting than on a box set largely consisting of unreleased material

[punkinhead]

I can't wait to see what's on this box set
