I see it like their primary albums is: surfin safari,surfin usa,surfer girl,lil deuce coupe,shut down vol2,all summer long,today,summer days,pet sounds,smileysmile,wild honey,friends,sunflower,surfs up,holland....then twgmtr.....secondary: xmas album, 20/20 cuz it was more of a comp than proper album, so tough was like an alter ego being under carl/passions, 15 big ones was part new and part tribute, love you _brians solo album w the BB name, and everything til the 85 album were pieced together albums from sessions of different yrs, then the 85 album, summer in paradise was mike love & terry melcher w the BB name.........thoughts?
Yeah sort of like that. As for Terry, I have some new respect/perspective on TM after hearing an Interview with Roger McGuin recently. According to McGuinn, It was Terry's idea to record Gene and Roger doubled as one part and having Croz do 3srds 5ths etc for harmony on Byrds songs he produced. 2 part not 3 part on some songs. In retrospect, RM appreciated that. having said that, maybe Terry knew a little something about harmony and vocals when working with Mike et Al.......just sayin
