Man, can you imagine if the C50 backing band had performed this live, with Dennis's voice on top of everything?  Grin The place would have gone nuts!! They could have dimmed the lights so the only thing you saw was a montage of pictures of Dennis? Or maybe they could have put the spotlight on Dave for the guitar solo.

Had that happened, I wouldn't be here now. I would have exploded with sheer joy.

I have literally been listening to this recording for about an hour, non stop.  Grin Each listen is better than the last.  Smiley

But it makes knowing what Dennis's fate was that much more heartbreaking.

OK,so what I can't get my head around is after Dennis had a year or so to calm down, why on earth did he not put this on C&TP? Imagine if this had replaced the dire 'Make it Good'. Cuddle Up and WIBNTLA together on one side would have been epic.

Very good song, would've been a welcome addition to Surf's Up. The arrangement is notably different from what I expected, much more "down to earth".

I agree with everyone that it is downright weird how this song could stay in the vaults for so long. The guy did this song at age 26, right? And now we're getting to hear it a mere 30 years after his passing. That's crazy.

I listened to it earlier but have been fighting a cold so am just getting around to putting my thoughts up here now.  Obviously, it's fantastic and anyone who disagrees has no right calling themself a Beach Boys fan.  It's funny to finally hear something you've been waiting to hear.  Once we knew it was coming I started reading some of the descriptions from those who heard it and while those descriptions are spot on, it didn't sound like I imagined it would, based on those same dead on description.  I don't really know what I was expecting but it somehow exceeded and fell just a bit short of my expectations.   Huh

I'm not really of a fan of Dennis's stuff on So Tough! but I like very close to all of his tracks on 20/20, Sunflower, and Holland, as well as "4th Of July" and most of his solo stuff.  Although it makes total sense, I didn't expect the similarity to "Cuddle Up", slight that it is.  I'm happy that it's completely fleshed out and realized and the vocal is amazing.  But as great as it is (and it IS great) I still favor "Forever".  My one minor problem with Dennis's stuff is his occasional "melodramatic tendencies" and while that raw emotion totally works on this track (and many others), I find "Forever" to be an easier listen with a more universal message.  The other thing that gives "Forever" the edge with me is the backing vocals.  People have said Adam's version has a slightly more "Beach Boys-y" backing vocals and I think it would have helped soften this song's edge.  Still, don't get me wrong.  This song is an absolute masterpiece and I'm so happy we and everyone else can finally enjoy it.  It's an absolute crime that it languished in the vaults for so long and that Dennis isn't around to finally hear its well deserved accolades.  Cry

I'm also happy to finally have the complete 1971 Landlocked album.  (That album couldn't be called Surf's Up because everyone knows that song was on the album they released in early 1967. Grin )

OK, from the horse's mouth, or as close as - the guitar was on the original 16-track, and no autotune. Guess you either believe me on this one, or you don't.

I think when the guitar part kicks in is the highlight of the song. Says more in a few notes than what a hundred notes ever could.

Wow - well, that was pretty spectacular... Doesn't resemble Cuddle Up to me, although definite shades of Holy Christmas. This would've guaranteed Surf's Up a place in any top 5 BB album list. What were they thinking leaving this unreleased? Dennis, you mad but insanely talented fool!

I disagree. I like it, I'd never skip it, but it's not fantastic. Dennis did much better. Maybe it'll grow on me

Can I still call myself a Beach Boys fan? Pleeeaaaassseeeee?

If I was a more vindictive man, I'd find the c**t who mixed this, and flush his sorry head down the toilet.


You're really something else, aren't ya?  I'd hate to cross paths with you if you were any more vindictive.  We'd find out really quick who's head would end up in the toilet.  Hint hint: It wouldn't be mine.  Grin


I don't give a triple toed flying f*** what some pitiful little messageboard c*** thinks about me. Go f*** yourself

That particular decision was taken, and effected by one Wilson, Dennis Carl.  Grin

Not to mention that he could have released it at any time over the following 12 years...

It's absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to hear more but i've had to purposely stop myself from listening to it. I don't want to burn myself out on it before I actually get the boxset! Wink I will say this this might just be Dennis's crowning moment in the BB's. Including this over Student Demonstration Time would have made Surf's Up comparable to Sunflower or hell even Today! In classic status.

How the hell could they keep stuff like WIBNTLA in the vaults and not issue it until now. Compare this with another popular band called The Beatles. What did they pull out of their archives for the Anthology series? Subpar material such as You Know What To Do, If You've Got Trouble, 12-Bar Original and Los Paranoias...

Conclusion: The Beach Boys are better than the Beatles.  Grin

 The Beatles were smart enough to release their best songs in the albums and not let it shelved for forty odd years.
