Tracks that feature a "Wall of Brians"

I'm looking for Beach Boys' recordings that feature Brian multi-tracking himself.
Examples off the top of my head:
Happy Birthday Four Freshmen
Vegetables [Ballad Insert]
Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulders) [Unused Background Vocals]
What else is there?

Sounds like Brian is doing all of the strange harmonies/background vocals on "Transcendental Meditation"

I'm Waiting for the Day is all Brian. I thought for a long time that I Just Wasn't Made for These Times was Brian solo but supposedly there are some Beach Boys vocals buried in the mix, there's been discussion on the board about that.
A lot of his solo recordings before Foskett, the Wondermints and company got involved were just Brian. I think the '88 album is almost entirely Brian on vocals except for on Night Time and Walkin' the Line. Also Andy Paley does some additional backing but in terms of what you can hear, it's very much "Wall of Brian." Every song on Imagination except for South American which features Jimmy Buffett is just Brian. Nearly every song on Gettin' In Over My Head is just Brian except for the guest appearances by Sirs Paul and Elton, Carl on Soul Searchin' and the band on Desert Drive. Live Let Live on the Arctic Tale soundtrack is just Brian.

Hand on My Shoulder on Anton Fig's Figments album has a wall of BW backing vox, which are isolated as a bonus track.
The new Jimmy Webb album Still Within The Sound of My Voice has a wall of BWs and Jeffs on the track MacArthur Park. Not entirely sure (yet) but there might be other Jeff involvement on the album.

This is...not true and is repeated here all the time. It's Mike doing the bass vocal and he's also audible at 1:09 ("Baby don'tcha know") and he's doing the "No's" and "uh-uh" starting at 2:37 on the tag. This is clearer if you listen to the various vocal overdub mixes on the SOT box. I also hear at least Carl and Mike on the BGV.

One of the best BW backing vocals, "Adios" by Linda Ronstadt, features a wall of Brian's. I'm still not sure about "Wipe Out". The bass vocals sound so Mike. The rest is Brian IMHO. Has anyone managed to get a definitive answer?

Not a 'wall' of Brians per se, but all Brian on 'Busy Doin' Nothing'.
He does a continious background note through the song and also blows a raspberry... (OOps it).

For along time I thought this song was just Brian until I read a post on this MB. Once you notice Marilyn's vocals you can't unhear it
Best Wall of Brians would be Your Imagination.

Was just about to Post ADIOS when the above poster beat me to it. Great songs with the wall of Brian BV's.

I would say THE best. A masterful arrangement, performance, and recording. The fact that it was a very well-written and beautiful song no doubt inspired Brian.

Metal Beach
Your Imagination (vocals only)
Question, is the unreleased background vocals to Don't Talk all Brian or are the Boys included? I always thought it was all the Boys as well

Also, if you can find it, the backing vocals to Elton John and Leon Russell's When Live is Dying...it's such a good song besides the great featuring of Brian's vocals

No mention of "One For The Boys" on BW 88? That's a perfect example of Wall of Brian's. Late 80s Brian voice and not a Beach Boys track, but still very impressive imo.

If you're talking BW bvs as opposed to BB/solo tracks, there's a rough list here:
