Fascinating notion, and an excellent collection - looking forward to it..

However, is there any documentary proof that Brian had anything to do with the five Honeys demos ? It's 35 years ago now, but I recall that when they were included in a Derek Bill Honeys boot box set, they were said to be done by the girls as publishing demos, and had no BW involvement whatsoever. Not convinced about "Make The Night..." either - doesn't sound much like a BW '63 effort. More like... Murry, if anything.

Still, quite a collection…

The Capitol guys couldn't do worse than look to some of the threads here for liner note inspiration. Surely it can't be coincidence that some of this material is being discussed right now on this very board!?!?!

If AGD's concerns stand up, how about substituting the errant tracks with BW-related tunes form that era, and putting the others on to a bonus "CD" fleshed out with even more goodies… oh, and some bonus tracks… oh and some hidden tracks… and some Easter egg tracks… and… and …

Many thanks for the news David, and thanks to Lee, Mark, Alan and all for this Christmas treat!

Assume this is being released via Beach Boy Central…?

Bear in mind I'm going on 35-year old memories and that archival research has come on leaps and bounds since then... but those demos sound more like Usher than BW. Be thrilled to be proven wrong - the world needs more BW productions from the early 60s !  Grin

Mea very much culpa. Just read the text with m'specs on and unless I'm very much mistaken - or unless EU copyright law is changed - it looks like we can expect something like this every December to come for... well, a while. Color me a happy camper.  Grin

Well... I do. I'd at least like a CD. But I'd rather it than nothing. Be nice if it was on Amazon MP3 though, I avoid iTunes.

It was time to let the cat out of the bag!   Wink 2   Jennifer Ballantyne at Capitol gave Dave the go-ahead to announce it.  Especially since Apple/Capitol just announced the digital release of THE BEATLES - THE BOOTLEG RECORDINGS 1963 for the same day (17 December), for the same reason.

And Andrew is correct -- the common denominator here is 1963.  That's why you don't see the 1962  tracks like "Beginning of the End" or "Visions."  And unfortunately you can't expect a lot of unheard tracks such as Bob Norberg's "apartment demos" -- since he's never made a copy for ANYONE, they're not in danger of falling into the public domain.

Expect a little better sound quality than the boots on most tracks -- but in some cases it was imperative just to use SOME source before the end of the year, so that the copyright could be extended, so some tracks were sourced from collector's cassettes.  But the good side of a digital release is that the source file can be updated if a better source becomes available.

I love this idea! And I'm looking forward to hear an early "You brought it all on yourself" (or something like that). The Honeys cut it on their 80s album Ecstasy.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

I believe "Make the Night" is a Nik Venet production -- like "From Jimmy with Tears."  That's my fault, as I helped Dave with that paragraph, and I should have written it "Beach Boys- and Brian Wilson-related..."

BTW, the arrangement of "Make the Night" owes a lot to this version by The Palisades: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU8TR-08yyU

This is very exciting news. Really thrilled that something like this was even considered and is now actually being released.

Maybe change the title of this thread though to mention something about it being a new BW digital release? I almost didn't click on it.

"CEO Lee Dempsey". I didn't know he was a CEO.  That must take a lot of his time.  No wonder he doesn't post on the board much......

I remember seeing this kind of release on Derek Bill's or Peter Reum's lists directed at collectors.  This time, a legit Brian Wilson Productions comp with emphasis on rare '63 stuff essential to fans and collectors alike. Gotta gettit!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

LOL - The benefit of being the co-owner of a small business (Dave and I had to incorporate ESQ for legal reasons, to protect us from any potential libel issues) is you can declare your title to be anything! Smiley

Heck, I could appoint Will Brison as Secretary of the Corporation...

Thanks Lee. I asked a few other folk, and the overall concensus is that those last five demos are not BW productions. No huge matter, and good to have this unexpected little gem pop up.

Yep I agree.  I think the description of "Brian Wilson-related" is a more accurate one -- as The Honeys are his, um, relations (or at least as of 1963, relations to-be).  Expect to see a change in the Examiner article if/when Dave can make the change.

The reality is that these non-Brian Honeys tracks needed EU copyright protection just like the true Beach Boys tracks, and there wasn't any way that Capitol was going to do a separate Honeys release, so it was prudent to slip these in.

A question for the legal-eagles out there. Why does EU copyright law drive the issue for releases of material recorded in a non-EU country? Does it have anything to do with multinational ownership of record companies nowadays?

Goo question. I wondered whether it's more to do with the fear that something released legitimately in Europe will, in this digitrl age, be impossible to prevent being imported to the US in bulk.

Any sign of this getting an EU release though? Not on amazon UK so far…  Now that would really be unusual, given the circumstances driving the release.
