Any info on Turning Point song? It sounds like it was ment for the Beach Boys 1985 album? I couldnt find any info on it besides it was with Gary Usher.

Thanks for the help.

One thing I know, from reading it somewhere on this board, is that the bassline riff is essentially a slowed-down reworking of Why Don't They Let Us Fall In Love. An interesting connection.

yes CD, a connection made by me in your thread ;P

It dates from the sessions Brian did w/ Usher in '86. Actual title: "So Long"

Sweet song. Very melodic. Brian plays a bit of both So Long and Why Don't they let Us Fall in Love on the infamous Hotel Tape

Backing vocals exist...
So one day we will hear a completed version on the upcoming B.W Box set.

This song is the early version of You've Touched Me.

Really?! Didn't know that...to me, the lack of backing vocals was the one thing that made the Wilson-Usher sessions less than convincing. Well. that and cheesy '80s production, but the songs themselves ain't all that bad. Except for some of the lyrics. OK, I'll shut up now!

Similar but not the snippit I was referring to. The one some of us here heard was definitely the Usher tracking under the bv's.
AGD should remember as he too thought it was erm ...'interesting...'
