Utterly mindblowing.

Perhaps the most beautiful piece done by Brian alone with the piano. Love the new lyrics also, any indication that they were written in the 70´s or where they original-but-not-used?

I think this is my favourite BW voice. He can still get that sweet but whiny falsetto that is so pronounced on Sunflower but his deep voice has such rich depth and it has that gentle rasp which gives it soul.

It's a nice curio but I find it odd it was added as a bonus track to the new album and not put on MIC. I don't feel it paints Brian in a very good light, the new lyrics seem to be sung off the top of his head and he sounds very "out of mind" during the whole thing. Fascinating nonetheless.

Thanks for posting this.

Very interesting to listen to and Brian`s voice is certainly much stronger here than it was even a year later.

His singing style has a touch of the Bruce Johnston`s about it (eg. Your Song)...

Remarkable in many ways. The performance is beautiful, if flawed. There seems to be a very conscious effort to sing in that range. Brian's manly tone is, to me, a deliberate construction much more than it was a mere consequence of certain habits. Also, it's cool to think how similar to this tone he could sound now... He was so young! And: when was the last time he performed a song at the piano throughout, in such a compelling manner? (Only listened to this once, but my impression was that piano and voice were recorded in different takes).

He was about 33 in 1975 wasn't he?   police

It's very interesting to hear the last traces of Brian's sweet voice co-exisitng with his more husky voice. He hasn't reached the gruffness of 15 Big Ones just yet, but it's not far off.

Exactly.

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!!

Yes! It would have fit very nicely on MIC. Of course so would have "Big Sur 4/4" and "Carry Me Home". Maybe it was a hold-out for a future Beach Boys/Brian release. It will sure help to sell the Deluxe version of NPP!

Mind blowing. Just out and out mindblowing how this is such an essential part of the puzzle in the evolution of his voice. Makes one wonder if this is his last recorded thing still sounding fairly close to his "sweet" voice. Or was it "Matchpoint"?  Huh

Fuckin' mind blowing.


God.


Damn.



At first it's like "that's Brian Wilson singing?! Even if you're familiar with all his "voices". Then you can really hear his "gruff" voice, then finally at the end of it that falsetto that made his voice so recognizable. Then there's parts where if we didn't know any better we'd think it was Dennis singing.

Definitely a heartbreaking rendition of that song....


And that new Love & Mercy without that super dated sounding 80s cheese production. Sweet.

He played with his various voices a lot during that period of time.  He did a mean crooner whenever he felt like it, so this wasn't a surprise to me.  I loved this, as the "crooner" isn't heard often.  Wonderful.

Everything that is going on here is just...wow.  Sure, the voice too, but also the way he essentially re-wrote the song.  Kinda speechless right now.

I strongly prefer this to the released version (which as long time members know,  has never been my favorite).

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Tried not to listen but I am probably not going to be able to get to Target for a while.

That was pretty amazing. His voice is rougher here than in California Feelin' .

1:46 is heartbreaking though. You can tell he's trying to go high but he can't

Isn't it crazy? You're kinda thrown off by what you hear at first.. but then it all starts to make sense in terms of the vocal timeline.


"Matchpoint" is nice, but I look at it as the beginning of the post-damaged voice being able to recall moments of the original voice (which he can still do today).

Is it fair to say that this was recorded on March, 12 1975? Beliagio has a Brian Wilson session from then with a "unknown title"

For me, Dennis' version is better. But the historicity of the 1975 version makes it more interesting. This is a recording I have wanted to hear for a long time and it did not disappoint. Can't wait for the cd.

I really love it! Don't want to be downer but I wish it was a more "prepared" demo. It seems he is improvising the lyrics at the very moment, so sometimes the song pauses too much. But it's great to finally have this gem, a missing link in Brian's voice history.

(great version of Love & Mercy also! -is that live?-)

Yeah, one of the big mysteries which remains unsolved, huh OSD? Almost like he sang that pre-1975!
