The last thread (this one:
http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,9734.0.html) is a bit outdated now, so Judd and I decided to revamp it. It's still very much in the editing and adding process, so please do chime in with anything you have to offer. Any mentions of "the Brother Rarities comp" is referring to this:

Carl's the "leader" of the session, but that doesn't rule out it being a Dennis song, or a Brian song, because Carl was the leader of the session for Brian & Mike's "All I Wanna Do", and Bruce and Carl were listed as leaders for some other Dennis songs. I really don't know, as I've never heard it." Seems to be the only info on this one.
