Names
Little Deuce Coupe - "Car Sounds"
SDVII  - "In the Parking Lot"
Pet Sounds - Wouldn't It Be Nice
Smiley Smile - Good Vibrations
Surf's Up - Sign of the Times
Holland - Ten Years Gone
Just my two cents  - but I don't think most of your suggestions are very good...
Naming an LP recorded in Holland "Holland" is kinda right on the dime whereas calling it "Ten Years Gone" because it's been 10 years since their first LP is rather dumb/unimaginative. And "Sign of the Times" is kinda in-your-face and too self-indulgent.
I've always liked the title Smiley Smile because that's just what it is: a diminutive of the actual SMiLE (whilst still being an awesome record on its own, obviously).
I like the idea of Shut Down Volume 2 having another title, though (since the process of naming it was rather dumb) - In The Parkin' Lot would be fine, especially when keeping the original cover art.  Smiley

The most recent album should have been named after a different cut. After all the years and all the feuding, "Isn't It Time" would have been a perfect album title.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

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

assuming that's the Friends album you're using it for, why are you using a picture of 1976 Brian? Did Venet have ESP?

1) I didn't know there were rules to producing "alternative covers"

2) When you have a thread with "alternative pictures" in the title...I thought it could
use a picture...y not?

3) I don't have time to research the exact time periods the pics were taken

4) it looks like he is about to sneeze

Okay, here tis!

Orginally I wanted to do a spin-off on Abbey Road -- but it wound up like this instead...



You have elements from 6-7 source pictures here. The base pic is of Hollywood & Vine in the late 40's.

So the Tower and all the bldgs on the right are paintbrushed in and the pavement is from the base.

Then I added the Beach Boys and the pretty lady and her pooch. Cool, how they are looking at her
and the expressions on the faces. Added some fake shadows, the Capitol top bar and logo.

Guess what the lettering is from.  Wink
