No one?
Sometime just after the release of H&V (July, early August 1967?), referring to H&V:
"I was completely satisfied with the record two months ago. I haven’t done anything about it after that time.
...every Beach Boys record has it's own story...
...this story has to be told in 3 or 4 minutes."

Re. H&V prior to the June 12-14 sessions:
“We had the complete song, but they just wanted to use part of it. Brian wanted to change what had been done on the rest of it….We went and rerecorded, from where we started off the tape, the rest of the song at the studio in the house. We did the parts and the music tracks and most of the guys played their own instruments.”

Re. H&V prior to June 1967, probably before May and/or April:
Something about a 2 sided H&V which I can't find the quote.

Re. H&V in March when Michael Vosse left:
"The best version I heard, which was never completed, but at least I could see the form of it, was an A side B side version lasting about six minutes. It was a beautifully structured work; and Van Dyke was still very involved."
