Song Question

[Surfer]

On the Beach Boys 20/20 Album there is a song called Breakaway and on Made in California set why is an Alternate version of this song and what is the Difference between the 2 songs.

[SMiLE Brian]

Listen to the two for differences and post back...

[bgas]

Why suggest a troll do anything sensible?

[SMiLE Brian]

It was worth a shot

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

C'mon guys...I'd assume Surfer doesn't have the boxed set. If I didn't have it, I'd likely have wondered what the differences were myself. We've all been new fans at one point.

[Surfer]

I will do that!

I have the Books the every CD's that they made and the 3 box sets including Made in California. Not to be rude but are you nuts

It's one of my favorite songs from my favorite time period of the band, so I definitely do suggest listening to it blind (er...deaf?), because part of the fun IMHO is discovering the differences yourself.

Not even close. I thought you were asking the question because you didn't have the boxed set. I was actually sticking up for you.

Wow.

Not sure of the whole story but since nobody is telling you.... what I've always heard is that the song was never fully mixed by Brian; and they recorded a ton of different parts for it, so different people have done different mixes of it over the years with and without different vocal parts.  Murray Wilson even sings on the song, apparently and was involved with some of the arranging in the chorus.

On the "Warmth of the Sun" cd that came out a few years ago, they have kind of the ultimate version of the song, Mark Linnett's mix with just about everything including the kitchen sink on it.

I think the story goes something like this..

Mike's not available for some reason, but Murry is. So, they use Murray to sing the bass parts.

[Mikie]

Yeah, Billy, not to be rude but........you're nuts!   Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

But you couldn't be bothered to spend ten minutes of your day listening to both versions to find out what the difference is ? And - not to be rude - you wonder why we think you're not only a troll but also a considerable idiot ?

Not being rude, of course...

[18thofMay]

I also don't want to be rude

[alf wiedersehen]

I think someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Now that's rude.

Do It Again (B. Wislon/Love)
I Can Hear Music (Barry/Spector/Greenwich)

I don't have the MIC box, is this alt version the one from the Hawthorne CA 2-cd set? And is it different from the Warmth of the Sun CD? I don't have that cd either, so I wasn't sure.
