Pretty cool. I'd love to see a 3 CD box of Bruce's stuff. Rare and unreleased included.

It would be the strangest thing ever if someone found a way to sync up Bruce's vocal on this song with Brian's BWRG recording, and have them sing together. It would probably be freakish.

I can't tell if there's supposed to be a joke here or not, but I like Bruce and like that recording too.

I like Bruce's ante-BBs stuff. He did rather good version of "Green onions" as well.

I'd love to hear Bruce do something like this today. But I don't think he ever keeps his hands on the keyboard long enough to play like that now, too busy clapping and adjusting the mike stand. Seriously, this guy was a major talent back in the day. Great voice, great piano player.

The dude was probably more prolific than Brian was as a producer and performer in those days. So many records he either co-wrote, sang on, played on, produced, you name it.

I think TRBB was saying at that time, 1963, Bruce may have been more prolific.

Around here, someone is always going to take that kind of statement wrong.  I didn't read it as a diss towards Brian, either.

Neither did I. I just think Brian was more prolific than Bruce in 1963. Sure, maybe Bruce collabed more with other musicians and Brian mostly worked with the Beach Boys in 1963,  but Brian's work was still more prolific.

I think you might be confused as to what prolific means.  It refers to the number of works produced by Bruce.  And Bruce's career started in 1959.

I'm not confused.  Brian had put together four Beach Boys albums by the end of 1963, and was about to go into the studio in January 1964 to start recording another one.  Numbers wise, that is a prolific amount in one year, 1962 and 1963.  I'm not an expert on Bruce's output.  Sure Jason could throw us together a list.  I've seen him get very detailed on bootleg lists before.

The posted track, I had not heard before.  I liked it, and left a comment at youtube.  It reminded me of Terry Reid from a few years later. 

And, prolific can mean:  abundant inventiveness.  In that meaning, Brian wins with me.  -Will

And no, it wasn't an attack on Brian by any means. Of course, I can't say I'm surprised at the simple fucks/usual suspects who thought it was. Unfortunately for them, not everything said on here is an attack on Brian as they so often hallucinate. Or it was because I used the word "probably," which damned near destroyed the board once before thanks to similarly or the same overzealous fuckwits. Smiley

I should have clarified that I was referring to the 1962-65 period before Bruce joined the band. And I don't even have to make a list, because Andrew Doe already beat me to it. Smiley
