She Knows Me Too Well is the same stereo mix as on U.S. Singles Box.
Why Do Fools Fall In Love sounds the same as the Summer Love Songs stereo mix, less the intro.

Cool,
I haven't seen AGD's list before
(kind of a newcomer) [Edit: actually I have spent a lot of time on that page, haha. Didn't know that was his work]. Very helpful, especially with the 2012 update!
Quote
The 1965 mono mix of the single version of “Barbara Ann” is available on the U.S. Singles Collection (2008).
This is false, did you mean that it's on the GV box set?
Quote
The 2012 stereo version of “I Get Aorund” is a new mix using the multi-tracks, plus some digital extraction to capture overdubs made directly to the original mono mix.
Minor typo on "I Get Around", if that means anything to you.
thanks

"Do It Again" is mono on the album, is it not?
Also, I'd really like to have us compile a list of all the different officially released mixes (not in the sense of stereo and mono, but alternate mixes), different edits, etc. and their sources.

Aren't the 45 releases of other Friends and 20/20 tunes (Little Bird, Wake the World, etc) true mono mixes?

Thanks everyone, I've made all the updates you pointed out. Yes, I do care about typos, so thanks DiamondHead!
A few other comments:
Yes, my list is intended to show where each track is available on CD. That said, I do care about true mono versions of songs like "Little Bird" etc. that appeared on 45s. Thanks for bringing that up. So, if there any other non-LP vintage mono (or stereo!) mixes out there, ideally I'd like to figure out if they're available on CD today.
As for an unabridged list of all alternate versions, believe me, I'm with you on that. It would be great if this list could grow into that. But to start, I wanted to document a) all the vintage mono and stereo mixes, plus b) any subsequent stereo mixes for tracks that were never mixed in stereo originally.

"Barbara Ann" (2:35 album version) is in true (wide) Stereo on the 2007 Ace (UK) Various Artists compilation "Girls Girls Girls: A Recollection of Dream Dates 1955-1965" CDCHD 1141. Great sound, probably better than the new 2012 Party! remaster.

mono mixes:
1 - Friends (45 + GH 2)
2 - Little Bird (45)
3 - Wake the World (45)
4 - Do it Again (45 + GH 2)
5 - Bluebirds Over the Mountain (45 + GH 2)
6 - Never Learn Not to Love (45)
7 - Cottonfields (45 + GH 2, etc.)
8 - Susie Cincinnati (promo 45)
9 - Add Some Music (promo 45)
... there may be more.
a couple errors on your dates ...
the twofer reissues of the '60s records came out in 2001, not 2000. Greatest Hits 2 came out in 1999 (GH1 came out in 1995).

GH1 using the mono singles format is also 1999. The original issue from 1995 is mono/stereo.

Re: 'Stack-O-Tracks' ...
I'm not sure there was a 1968 mono 'mix'. Seems to me that for the original LP, they just took the basic track from the mulits (in some cases missing elements, and in some cases this wasn't really a 'mix' per se, just a transfer of the track itself, locked in mono on 1 track of the multi). Since this was released in fake stereo only, there may have been a mono master prepared, and the 'stereo' was created from that, or they may have just done the fake stereo during the transfer from mutli-track to 2-track.
for the CD reissues, they clearly went back to the actual session tapes and created new stereo mixes for some songs. for others, they may have gone to the multis and either transferred the back track, or they may have used the 'Stack-O-Tracks' master (some songs had kind of unique versions, like 'Do It Again', which sound like the same mix on the CD as the vinyl).
Anyway, just pointing out this title doesn't fit neatly into the mono/stereo category ... anyone know the full story? I've always wondered about it.
Also, do we know if the source for the 2001 CD reissue is the same as the 1990 CD?

I've asked this in a couple threads but haven't gotten a reply, sorry for repeating myself.
Does anyone know where I can find a HQ (preferably stereo) version of 'The Little Girl I Once Knew'?
It's one of my favorite BB songs and I would love to hear it in better quality than the original single version.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I think it's worthy to bring up the "alternate version" of Little Girl from the Hawthorne, CA compilation. Sure, it's not the original version, and it's not REALLY in stereo, but Mr. O'Leary, it's pretty close to what it sounds like you're looking for.

I made this stereo mix a few years ago combining the vocals from the single and alternate version with the backing track from SOT.

I've asked this in a couple threads but haven't gotten a reply, sorry for repeating myself.
Does anyone know where I can find a HQ (preferably stereo) version of 'The Little Girl I Once Knew'?
It's one of my favorite BB songs and I would love to hear it in better quality than the original single version.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I made this stereo mix a few years ago combining the vocals from the single and alternate version with the backing track from SOT.

The track doesn't exist.

OK, I
think
I've incorporated all the fixes noted. Very likely I missed one or two or made a typo/formatting error here or there. I'm a bit rushed 'cause a friend is in town and don't haver time to spend on the board. Feedback welcome.
Andrew, glad this will help you - no need to give me a credit. I've just listed out what you and others have already written.

Blasphemy. Unless Mark Linett is behind a stereo mix it doesn't exist. You already know this.

This is a fantastic list, thanks so much! Several of the stereo remixes have been done more than once. In those cases, I've tried to figure out when each remix was done and where they can be found. Not counting the upcoming 2012 reissues, this is what I came up with:
Little Saint Nick (single version)
1992 remix on
Legends of Christmas Past
1998 remix on
Ultimate Christmas
2008 remix on
US Singles Collection
The Lord's Prayer
1991 remix on
Beach Boys' Christmas Album
(1991 CD)
2001 remix on
Hawthorne, CA
and
US Singles Collection
(I can't hear any differences between these two. Is it possible they're both the same 1991 mix?)
Dance, Dance, Dance
2001 remix on
Hawthorne, CA
2003 remix on
Sounds of Summer
2008 remix on
US Singles Collection
Kiss Me, Baby
1998 remix by Andrew Sandoval on
Endless Harmony
(1998 CD)
2000 remix by Mark Linett on
Endless Harmony
(2000 CD) and all releases since
California Girls
1998 remix by Andrew Sandoval on
Endless Harmony
(1998 CD)
2000 remix by Mark Linett on
Endless Harmony
(2000 CD)
2002 remix (correcting out-of-sync vocals) on
Sounds of Summer
and all releases since
Wouldn't It Be Nice
1996 remix on
Pet Sounds Sessions
and the 1999 mono/stereo
Pet Sounds
reissue
2001 remix (with Mike Love's vocal restored) on the 2001 mono/stereo
Pet Sounds
and all releases since
You Still Believe in Me
1996 remix on
Pet Sounds Sessions
, and the 1999, 2001 and 2006
Pet Sounds
mono/stereo reissues
2012 remix (with double-tracked lead vocal) on 2012
Pet Sounds
MFSL SACD
Caroline, No
1996 album version remix on
Pet Sounds Sessions
and all releases since
Single edit remix (likely edited from the 1996 mix) on
Classics Selected by Brian Wilson
Heroes and Villains
2001 remix on
Hawthorne, CA
Note: The
Sounds of Summer
booklet claims to use a 2002 remix, but it sounds the same as the
Hawthorne, CA
remix to my ears
Also, you should add to your list the new remixes of "Wendy" on
The Warmth of the Sun
and "Time to Get Alone" on
Summer Love Songs
.

There's also an unreleased stereo remix of Country Air - it was played at a convention years ago.

SOT UM v.6 has stereo "I Get Around" and "All Summer Long" not sure if they are from the original sessions or not but
sounds like true stereo not duophonic mush.
I also have a stereo "Little Girl" instrumental track, no vocals -- if you like the organ, drums and horns
way up in the mix it is interesting.
I have been immersed in these SOT tracks since I found them. Amazing stuff especially if you love studio chatter
and the BB are #1 at clowning around with the tape rolling!

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.
