Apologies if this has been posted already  Smiley

New BBC2 doc on Pet Sounds. Some fabulous BW moments, lovely appearances from all surviving BBs, Tony Asher and other important players. Thankfully the music is centre stage…

Sorry to those who can't view outside the UK

I enjoyed this one too!  Just a shame they had to squeeze it in to an hour.  I would have loved to hear more of the interviews/performances from Brian demonstrating things on the piano.  Al also had his guitar but we didn't see him use it!

It was still good to see new interviews and Brian looked relaxed.  I've often wondered why he didn't use the alternate ending to God Only Knows and thought Mark was going to ask him.  It would have been the perfect opportunity.  Grin

 I did ask him, but he said he didn't remember which is not surprising since it was over 50 years ago. Seems like God Only Knows turned out ok without it, and remember  there are other parts in the released version that are no longer on the multitrack so using that bg part would have altered a lot more in the vamp.

Any chance this will get released on DVD like the other classic albums Series DVDs? Or maybe someone can rip it to YouTube.

Thank you for the reply Mark and for clearing that up!  Brian looks very relaxed beside you.  Obviously years of trust has been built up there.  As I watched it reminded me of some of the studio scenes in Love and Mercy when you were sitting there as 'Chuck' with Dano's 'Brian'? 

I also loved the bits where you isolated some of the individual vocal tracks.  It would be great to have those multi's released sometime in the future.  Maybe for the 60th!

Thank you for all your work over the years and for the latest box set.  It sounds fantastic. Smiley

Hopefully someone will throw this up on YouTube before too long. It looks like the BBC offers some sort of download manager for their iPlayer, so it hopefully wouldn't be too difficult for someone in the UK to get this up on YouTube.

So is this actually in the "Classic Albums" documentary series done by Eagle Vision?

I'm unclear if this is an actual BBC production, or if it's an Eagle Vision production simply aired on the BBC.

If it's part of the Eagle Vision series, then it will most likely end up on DVD (and hopefully Blu-ray) at some point worldwide.

I don't do the torrent thing for a bunch of reasons, but hopefully it will reappear on YouTube again and for long enough. BBC does yank stuff down pretty fast; I managed to catch their Glastonbury ELO show a little while back on YouTube before it was pulled.

But once again BRI and Capitol/UME show how ham-fisted their promotional machine (or lack of one) is. Agree to participate in a documentary on PS, but don't air it until well after the big CD boxed set comes out (and certainly don't do the simple thing and cut a deal to put the documentary in the box!), and only make it viewable in the UK. Great job people....

Thanks; that makes more sense and that tells me we'll see this on home video sooner or later (hopefully before the end of the year), and hopefully with extra footage as the Eagle Vision "Classic Albums" series often does.

That bit Brian plays of Murry's "His Little Darling And You" sounds a lot like Brian's own "Just Like Me And You".

Lovely documentary by Eagle vision/BBC. Just finished watching for the second time,  Brian looks very relaxed with some nice viewpoints from Bruce, Al and Mike. Definitely worth buying on DVD when/if it comes out, hopefully with some extras.

Great thread, thanks for bringing it up Smiley

Another thing about the documentary, at one point Bruce mentions that "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" features all six Beach Boys singing. I'd always thought it was just Brian doing all the parts, so that's interesting.

Dennis is audible on the verses and recorded a lead vocal for it.  Only parts of it remain on the final mix.

Found this radio interview where Bruce mentions it again (at 14:32), referring to the Spanish section in IJWMFTT. Al, however, doesn't even remember the part Tongue

thanks for that thread link GoodVibrations33. I actually remember seeing that now! Whatever the germ of its genesis Just Like Me and You is an outstanding late period BW quirky gem. Shades of Love You, Being With The One You Love and bits of the Sweet Insanity music. Those TLOS extras are fabulous.

Edit:  Great documentary by the way!

Those living in Belgium and the Netherlands (and maybe Germany and France) can watch it on Canvas (one of the Belgian TV channels) tomorrow night (Sunday 31/7) at 20.55 CET...

Love this series, so glad they finally did Pet Sounds. Was pleasantly surprised at how good it was and actually showing things other docs hadn't. Can we just get all that Smile studio footage released? Pretty please??

Finally got round to watching BBC2's "Classic Albums-Pet Sounds" last night. Brilliant stuff all round I have to say. Funny how Al doesn't hold anything against Brian for not inviting him to the SLB session in '66. lol

Would love to watch this, but I can't find a torrent and the HOLA VPN thing doesn't work for the BBC anymore : (
