Bull Session With Big Daddy (20:12) - Sea Of Tunes Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 8 (1965)

 

Dear lord.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to find that collection.

[Mikie]

There's a collector on this board who has the extended version of "Our Favorite Recording Sessions".

[Niko]

I wonder if he'd share...he loves us alot right?

[Mikie]

I wonder if he'd share...he loves us alot right?

He only loves those who can spell correctly.  You just blew it by using "alot" in a sentence.

[leggo of my ego]

Bull Session With Big Daddy (20:12) - Sea Of Tunes Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 8 (1965) - Alternate Beach Boys Today Album Vol. 2 - Disc 4.

The "Smile Era Party" is another long one also that has a trippy edge to it. 

[Mikie]

Is that the October 18, '66 session at Western for "Do You Like Worms"? And Diane talks on the control room microphone?  The people at the "party" are Brian, Diane, Van Dyke, Michael Vosse, Jules Siegel, and Danny Hutton. You can hear "Do You Like Worms" in the background. 25+ minutes. Kinda boring at times.

After all these years, sounds like it's time for you to world premiere it on YouTube, Mikie!

I don't have it, CS., but I know a collector who does. I heard it once a couple of decades ago.

It was recorded on May 6, 1964 - during the sessions for "All Summer Long" and "Do You Remember".

[Ian]

I haven't listened to the long version of Bull Session in a while but as I recall it has gaps-where all the stuff they did use for the LP was chopped out of it-so I think the totally uncut version would be even longer.

[Lee Marshall]

I've got LOTS of stuff.  Some on vinyl...some on cd.  Some hangs on the wall.  Some of it isn't exactly available at the store..  I have clothing.  I used to have a hat.  {Mike took it.  }.  I have loads of files I've made for myself....and transferred to cds to play in the car.

And best of all...I have my memories of spending time with everyone except David Marks [so far]...and Brian, unfortunately, for just scant seconds. ..wel...maybe a minute or so. The rest is more meaningful.  I even sat beside Melinda at the Smile Show in Montreal. [Place Des Art]

I've met some incredible people in person and I've spent loads of time on-line with some really cool people who I'd consider to be friends as a result.

I'm a lucky sun of a gun.  I've played almost all of their material [the Beach Boys] on the air over the decades.  I've added songs to the playlist which other stations, by and large, weren't playing.  I've MC'd maybe 1/2 a dozen of their concerts and...I'm a lucky guy.  [with GREAT ears]

AND...I have the deluxe Deluxe version of No Pier Pressure.  So?  I'm good.

[Marty Castillo]

I've been admiring this thread and wanted to include some of my collection:

Various signed LPs



Bruce and Mike signed 8x10 received via venue (hoping to add Al at some point)



25th Anniversary signed 8x10 photo - Mike, Carl, Bruce and Al are mid-80s vintage, while Brian completed it in the mid-2000s (purchase via Perry Cox)



May 1983 baseball stadium concert posters 19x28 inches



Rolling Stone - October 28, 1971

That's a beautiful LP collection. 
And I'm loving the Rolling Stone cover, especially Al's facial expression.

My dad was in Australia (i.e. across the ocean) and he said he found some Japanese import of Pet Sounds at this record store..... and he didn't get it because he didn't know what I already owned.

Was digging thru looking for something else, and found this "choice" gem filed away, so figured to post some pics. wish I had the EPK  and the Radio Promo Kit, tho.
( No actual vinyl was part of this set)  

  

[Lee Marshall]

I've got stuff.  Lots of stuff.  Some hangs on walls.  Some sits on shelves.  Some gets packed away.  I used to have stuff I could wear.  I guess I still do.  I have all the stuff I'm supposed to have and maybe a few other things too.  I even have autographs.  [real ones not Jeff signing for Brian ones]

But the MOST IMPORTANT stuff I have are my memories.  [and the sounds in my head.]

S'ALL good. 
['cept for loo-ee/loo-ee.  THAT sucked]
