I know 'Brian's Back' was written during the big campaign around 15 Big Ones and Brian's return to the band and what not, but what exactly was the song used for? It obviously was never released on an album, so was it heard in any capacity prior to the Endless Harmony soundtrack (and bootlegs)?

It was written two years later in 1978 for Mike's First Love LP that never came out.

Thanks, Mike. And here I actually have a *ahem* copy of First Love, I should have known this...  For whatever reason I had it in my head that it was written prior to the album, during the Brian's Back hoopla. |

Was it ever established exactly when "Brian's Back" was written? I know Mike is saying '78, but I would have to imagine it was probably around the 15 Big Ones times. And then why for the L.A. (Light Album) sessions? Brian had been "back" for like 2 years already. So...yeah?

Mike just wanted to write hits with his cousin. wanted to write hits with his cousin about his cousin or his cousin's back. the whole ordeal is very confusing so it's good this song never made the open market until much later. |

Was this song the start of the trend of the BB and relations writing about themselves? Like Carl's Seems So Long Ago, Wilson Phillips Flesh & Blood?

Do It Again came before those, 1968.
Any earlier instances?

I'd always kinda assumed that Brian's Back was written in 1976. I can't remember why i think that... does anyone have the Endless Harmony CD liner notes to hand? It might say in there.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

If you hear the phrase 'good vibrations' in any song OTHER than Good Vibrations, RUN. Run like the wind!  |

They were doing that crap from the beginning, what's that song (don't like it) about "the guys that brought you Rock and Roll" or whatever it's called? Starts out talking about Danny & the Jr.'s? They didn't have the balls to talk about themselves yet, but the sentiment and the vibe is the exact same thing they did later. Brian was all in on it too.
Something the Stones would have never done. For real!

Nothing embarrassing or cheesy about Do You Remember. Nice little rocker giving credit to those who came before. Like the bass line. Pretty sure Carole Kaye played that  |

Actually, "Do You Remember" was chosen for the Spirit Of America album. I like the song, too, but, of all the songs they coulda picked...
