Totally forgot about Al Jardine's rendition off the Postcard record. Bit unremarkable, just like most of that album.

Never really liked BW's own Classics version, to these ears there's nothing really interesting to the overall arrangement.

This new one pretty much sounds like the real deal, the ultimate version of a song that remains one of the group's biggest post-1960s "what ifs". Do we know why BW didn't want to see it included in one of the albums of its time?

Nobody has asked this yet, so I guess I will. Is Dennis on California Feeling anywhere, either instrumentally, or vocally? What about Goin' To The Beach? Dennis wasn't on KTSA, so I assume there is a good chance he's not on GTTB.

Not bad, pretty much what to expect from your regular Brian Wilson solo recording.

Just heard this for the first time. Shoot me, this is my favorite version by far.

Off-topic but the Classics album was the first Beach Boys album I bought after Pet Sounds.  It seems to be mostly forgotten due to Sounds of Summer coming out just two years later but it's probably the best chronological single disc collection of the Beach Boys music out there.  If you ever want to introduce a friend to the greatness of the Beach Boys, I highly suggest that one.
+1, it was my first Beach Boys cd and a great introduction to the more mature serious side of the groups' music!

I'm almost certain he was on neither.

Production and flow is very nice. Brian's lead voxs are unbarable to my ears and his band is far from a substitute when it comes to Beach Boys harmonies (even past their heyday).

I dare say this is the best music released since 'Baby Blue' back in 1979 (barring TTS and PSS releases).

It is incredible that this stuff could be lurking in the vaults through all these years. Heck, this unreleased material is better than many good band's best material.

 The Brian vox are incredible and add that extra charm the booted version lacked. The backing track has been mixed excellently and Bruce really shone on this. Carl's vox on this have never been my favourite and are not the highlight of this song, but they sound far better now.

It is exciting being a fan of a band with so many Easter eggs. This is stuff literally Fabergé level quality!

I dunno. Any piece of the suite on TWGMTR is still miles ahead of CF imo.

I  daresay, I do like the call-and-answer aspect of Brian Wilson's solo version and I feel like it is missing in the 78 version.

Y'mean the "California feelin' (CALIFOOOORNIAAAAARRFGXHH)" part? If so, I agree.

While this is a nice recording it still sounds like an unfinished demo to me. Much of their late 70s stuff sounds more dated than their earlier recordings which is obviously due to Brian pulling back. Although this song had a lot of potential I don`t think any of the versions that I`ve heard have really been stand outs.

Yep, "California Feelin'" was one of those classic Brian's living room #1's. Great song, but it's probably best performed by Brian, alone on a piano.  The song doesn't really lend itself to a big arrangement.

I've never heard this before - Brian sounds....different. Different good, though. Is this the "other" version that's gonna appear on the box?

I don't know about you, but I prefer this Brian lead than the one that they used on the MiC version.

I was actually expecting a Rick Roll. Instead I got an ever more over-the-top vocal performance.

I figured!!! I searched youtube for Rocky Pamplin right after I heard it the first time and came up with nothing. He kinda sounds like Brian, though.
