What is and isn't a SMiLE session

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

i also notice that A LOT of the studio info is incorrect. Most of the vocal sessions took place at Columbia and not Gold Star but i'll have to dig my session list out when i can get to it to be able to be exact.

Do you have the corrected studio information at this point?  I'm trying to update the Library, and getting the list of session dates is the first step.

RE: Interviewing an engineer who was with Brian during those long sessions, that Engineer was likely a guy named Ralph Balantin, who I've tried to find info on for years, but appears to never have existed on this earth.

[Andrew G. Doe]

The 12/5/66 "Fire" session is a total myth, never happened... and I can say that with complete confidence as I'm the guy who inadvertantly started that myth by misreading a session sheet. Mea culpa.

And... I don't buy the Capitol rejection theory: there's no evidence that the track sessions were finished (for one thing, "The Elements" in April consisted of "Fire"... and not a lot else). But that's just my view.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Don't forget: A lot of SMILE Vocal sessions aren't documented. When the BB were doing a session, not every little piece had to be noted on the session sheet. They maybe did a 3 hour session documented as "Wonderful", but also recorded vocals for other songs.
Who knows, maybe it's true what Brian told all these years: He completed and mixed the songs, gave them to Capitol, they didn't like it, Brian destroyed 'the Master Tapes' and started re-recording the songs.

have to say, i've never heard or read of Brian saying he finished up the album and it was rejected: he's long said he destroyed the tapes (although of late he's recanted on that), but  diddly about the album being finished. can you cite an article or interview ?

The slightly more updated list is here:

It takes into account the corrections previously noted in this thread.  Of course, it bears scrutiny and further corrections.

[Jonas]

Chuck, you got a wiki for it!!! AWESOME!!!

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

Yes, thanks to the guidance of our friends at the Beach Boys Recording Guide, I was able to launch an appropriate home for the SMiLE info I've collected through the years.  And it has stuff to read beyond just SMiLE.

[Mahalo]

this thread rules, thanx guys

[The Shift]

this thread rules, thanx guys

Agreed – and I'd hate to see it disappear just yet!

I anyone able to relate the sessions listed in this thread to the relevant boots, and the tracks thereon? That would give me an idea of what I've got left to collect!

sorry i didn’t get back to this last year. it slipped down the board and off my mind. this is just October through December 1966 for now. i edited the list from the first page of this topic for ease. i don’t have a November 8th session for “Surf’s Up” (what was recorded?), and don’t have records for the November 11th or 16th VegaTable stuff but they sound like likely dates. i deleted the three obviously incorrect dates and put the original, official, session names, as i have them, in “quotes” and added additional session information and speculation afterward. didn’t bother to change the musician information because it is inconsistent in this list (sometimes it only counts the players and other times it counts everyone including the engineer, etc.). i put all of my changes in Bold. i can do the rest if you want.

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

i can do the rest if you want.

Yes, please.  I will probably have many questions for you (for instance, was there a session on Dec. 11 1966, and if so, what?), but your help and research are needed and appreciated.

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

04-Oct-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Prayer”.

AGD and Badman list this as Gold Star-- so, question number two, where does the Columbia info come from?

[Andrew G. Doe]

I'm very likely wrong on that. As for the 11/8/66 session, that was for "Surf's Up (1st movement) at Western, 6 musicians including Frankie Capp & Nick Pelico.

[Bicyclerider]

As for 12/11, AGD has that as a Cabinessence group vocal session.

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

Yes, but I can't think of any other source of session dates saying something was recorded on Dec. 11, so I'm wondering if that was a recording date or not.

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

10-Oct-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Wind Chimes”. 
10 - Smile session: Wind Chimes/Child Is Father To The Man [vocals - Columbia]

Just Wind Chimes, or Wind Chimes and Child?

11-Oct-1966 – 6 Musicians + Carl & Brian – Western Recorders – “Cabin Essense”. (mislabeled Child session)
11-Oct-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Home on the Range”.

Did they record in both studios on the 11th?

07-Nov-1966 – 5 Musicians – Western Recorders – “Surf´s Up”. (George Fell… also)

The Teenset Article on Smile states "It is another night at Gold Star. A group of older musicians whom Brian has never met are there to perform on French horns. Five minutes after producer meets players, the men are creating laughing effects and having a conversation with their horns. "It was just an idea and I'm glad to see it works." "How does he do it?" somebody in the hallway asks."   Was the article incorrect?

15-Dec-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Surf´s Up”. (also Wonderful recorded at this session).
15 - Smile session: Surf's Up/Cabin Essence/Wonderful [vocals - Columbia]

Was Cabin Essence worked on as well?  Also, AGD's site says "it has  been claimed that a confrontation between Mike and Brian over the lyrics to "Surf's Up"  was captured on camera."  Badman's book says they filmed the session for "Wonderful" and it went badly.  Did one or the other or neither happen?

Oppenheim's reel notes make it clear that:

both "Cabin Essence" & "Wonderful" were worked on vocally, and...

there was no confrontation captured on camera, as claimed by Priore in his Smile book. For one thing the band had gone home before Brian recorded "Surf's Up". To be fair, the notes were discovered after the book was published.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Yes, but I can't think of any other source of session dates saying something was recorded on Dec. 11, so I'm wondering if that was a recording date or not.

Probably not - I'm thinking another cut & paste error. Thanks to everyone for pointing these things out.

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

there was no confrontation captured on camera, as claimed by Priore in his Smile book. For one thing the band had gone home before Brian recorded "Surf's Up". To be fair, the notes were discovered after the book was published.

I wonder why Jules Siegel said they witnessed a vocal session that went badly?  I've assumed, since the band wasn't there for Surf's Up, it was a Wonderful session.

"Earlier in the evening the film crew had covered a Beach Boys vocal session which had gone very badly.  Now at midnight, the Beach Boys had gone home and Brian was sitting in the back of his car, smoking moodily."

[Charles LePage @ ComicList]

Thanks to everyone for pointing these things out.

Thanks for being patient with laypeople like myself. 

[Been Too Long]

I'm very likely wrong on that. As for the 11/8/66 session, that was for "Surf's Up (1st movement) at Western, 6 musicians including Frankie Capp & Nick Pelico.

this sounds exactly like the November 4, 1966 Surf’s Up tracking session.

Surf's Up (1st movement)
at Western Recorders
the musicians included:
Frank Capp
Nick Pellico

as well as:
Carol Kaye
Alvin Casey
James Bond
Alfred de Lory

this was the tracking for the first part of Surf’s Up, the “jewelry” session and was overdubbed on the 7th with trumpet and horns as heard in the final mix.

the only other time i’ve seen a Surf’s Up date listed for the 8th was an error caused by putting the Tape Master Numbers in order. someone decided that because the tracking session had a higher Master number that it was recorded after the overdub session. i’ve never seen a session with “2 Musicians” on that date so i was wondering if something new had been found.

Yes, please.  I will probably have many questions for you (for instance, was there a session on Dec. 11 1966, and if so, what?), but your help and research are needed and appreciated.

i’ve never seen a session for December 11th. i think they were on tour again around this time anyways but i’d have to look it up.

04-Oct-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Prayer”.

AGD and Badman list this as Gold Star-- so, question number two, where does the Columbia info come from?

Prayer was at Columbia. i can’t think off hand of a vocal session during SMiLE that was anywhere else but Columbia, though there probably was one. that’s how Brian seems to have been working at the time: vocals and mixing at Columbia; big, string heavy sessions (like Fire or Painter) at Goldstar; and everything else at Western.

10-Oct-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Wind Chimes”. 
10 - Smile session: Wind Chimes/Child Is Father To The Man [vocals - Columbia]

Just Wind Chimes, or Wind Chimes and Child?

October 10 is just Windchimes, though it’s not impossible that they attempted some type of Child vocals, i just don’t know of it. it appears that the second Child tracking session hadn’t taken place by this point so the track would have included only the non overdubbed chorus (without the trumpet cries and some of the bass parts) and that really short, fast verse that was replaced by the current one.

11-Oct-1966 – 6 Musicians + Carl & Brian – Western Recorders – “Cabin Essense”. (mislabeled Child session)
11-Oct-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Home on the Range”.

Did they record in both studios on the 11th?

yes, two sessions on the 11th. the “Cabin Essence” (Child) tracking session in the afternoon and, later, the “Home on the Range” vocal session starting in the late evening and continuing into the early morning hours.

07-Nov-1966 – 5 Musicians – Western Recorders – “Surf´s Up”. (George Fell… also)

The Teenset Article on Smile states "It is another night at Gold Star. A group of older musicians whom Brian has never met are there to perform on French horns. Five minutes after producer meets players, the men are creating laughing effects and having a conversation with their horns. "It was just an idea and I'm glad to see it works." "How does he do it?" somebody in the hallway asks."   Was the article incorrect?

Surf’s Up overdub session took place at Western with 1 Trumpet and 4 Horns. this also seems to match the instrumentation for “George Fell…” so it has been assumed that this is where it took place. there “could” have been a separate Goldstar session for this at some other time for which we just don’t have information or maybe Brian just bought the time and didn’t bill Capital, who knows? that’s why i separated the “Session Data” from the (Speculation).

15-Dec-1966 – Beach Boys – Columbia Recorders – “Surf´s Up”. (also Wonderful recorded at this session).
15 - Smile session: Surf's Up/Cabin Essence/Wonderful [vocals - Columbia]

Was Cabin Essence worked on as well?  Also, AGD's site says "it has  been claimed that a confrontation between Mike and Brian over the lyrics to "Surf's Up"  was captured on camera."  Badman's book says they filmed the session for "Wonderful" and it went badly.  Did one or the other or neither happen?

i’ve always had information on recording of Surf’s Up and Wonderful at this session. if i remember correctly from the Oppenheim film notes they mention 1) the dong, dong backing vox from Cabin Essence, 2) the yodeling from Wonderful and 3) some mention of lyrics from Surf’s Up. assuming that this footage is all from the same session date (they did film other days), it seems clear that they have all three songs and that it’s a good guess that all three were worked on at the same December 15th session. adding Cabin Essence to this session speculation is a good idea, i just forgot about it.

i agree with the skepticism of a fight taking place at this session. a session “going very badly” could simply mean a lot of equipment breakdown though; i can’t see how having a full film crew in the confined spaces of a recording booth would ever make the session “go really well.” from later reports (i think someone asked Siegel?) the problem with the session was that the film crew couldn’t use anything of what they filmed because it was all just vocal snippets. if it was anything like the more than 60 takes of that Heroes section (think it’s of Soul Made Beautiful) i could understand the problem. what was used in the final film probably explains the reasoning for Brian’s solo Surf’s Up performance that night better than some speculated infighting and thoughts of a solo career, he’s just trying to help the film get the footage they were trying to get.

The source of the 11/8/66 info is a Capitol Popular Session sheet. Until about half an hour ago, I would have said it's definitely not a mis-dating of an earlier session for the following reasons:

the master number is #58650 (the previous 11/7 session was #58641)...

the session number is #14184 (11/7 was #14183).

BUT... the 11/4 session is also #14184, and on the Capitol sheet, the master number was originally typed as #56842 (the 11/4 number), then crossed out and handwritten as #56850, which would be pretty much right for an 11/8 session. Have to say, the timing notations match too - the AFM sheets says "2pm-6pm, some men to 5.30" while the Cap Sheet says says the sessions was from 2-5, overtime from 5-6 with the additional notation that one sideman stayed to 6, the rest to 5.30. Anyone got any bright ideas ? Best I can come up with is that someone mis-numbered the 11/4 session and fixed it later. Thing is, why would anyone bother, or even notice back then ?  OK, hands up - looks like there was no 11/8 "Surf's Up" session.

I love this kind of stuff, even when it proves me wrong. Accurate history is much more important than personal pride.

[Andrew G. Doe]

For the interested (yeah, both of you), I compiled the Smile session dates from the following sources:

Badman
The SmileShop primer & sessionography
Our Favorite Recording Sessions
Dumb Angel Gazette #2

If only they'd recorded at Abbey Road... 

Again, thanks to all for the digging, musing and gentle nudging. Seems it wasn't just live shows that Badman was prone to confuse.
