It's an excellent remix and Mike's vocal is outstanding. Hit me right away.
For those wishing for a punchier sound - that's a function of it being a midrange-centered recording. You put more treble on there and it's just not going to be the WILD HONEY sound. It's a midrangey record, and that's where the instruments have the most natural sound in this mix. They've done an incredible job getting the elements in good separation and clarity without screwing too much with the vibe.

I mentioned in another post that Mike's voice on Wild Honey is perhaps the least R&B flavored as he's sung on any album. Which is ironic because Mike was known as the more heavy R&B vocal guy in the band. On WH, it's Carl mostly, followed by Brian, who are doing the more expected R&B "belting" in their vocals. Mike went for a more intimate and softer baritone style, and I think Mike sounded terrific on a cut like AYG. It's some of his best vocals, on one of my favorite tracks in the band's catalog. I think what they also nailed was that contrast between Mike and Brian, that fastball of having two lead voices on a track with different ranges. It's the fastball used devastatingly on "Kiss Me Baby", "When I Grow Up", etc. There is a special quality to having that sound on a record.
Listen for the falsetto voice doubling the horn phrase after the chorus. That got buried in the original track. But it's a killer part, a small touch but a killer touch. That's Brian doing what he would do later on Do It Again, matching the "Underwater" melody hook in falsetto. And of course the Baldwin hitting those low growl notes in the intro, it was there but hardly noticeable on the mono mix. It jumps out of this one.
An all time classic BB track, a personal favorite. Great to see it released this way.

The response vocal in the chorus is a bit too quiet in my opinion, but otherwise it sounds great. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

Although Mark could've used a few more limiters to match the Sgt Pepper's remix.

Seems pretty clear now that it's Brian, just slowed down!
Is that confirmed? I always thought it was Carl until the brief falsetto bit made me wonder.
I'm hearing:
"Today could be a lot of fun ..." - Mike
"I got a heart ..." - Brian
"Aren't you glad now darlin ..." - Carl
"Tell me, tell me you know what I mean ..." - Al and/or Brian

Always thought it was Carl there, but I'm leaning towards it being Brian slowed down after hearing it in this quality.

I think it is Carl because of that very last "ah oh", it sounds too wavey (can't describe it in any other way) in timbre compared to Brian's at that range. Break Away's demo has Brian at that similar range in the chorus and he just sounds
different
to me...

Sometimes you can pick out Carl because he had trouble pronouncing hard R's so it would sound like Aren't You Glad now Dahlin. That is usually my give away but it's so hard to tell there.

Wtf how did you do this and can you promise you will do this to more tracks when they're released?
Man I miss those days when your Smile tracks were the talk of the board. Glad to see there's now more material for you to tinker with!

I think this might be closer to the original speed if your theory is correct:

Nailed it buddy!
Is this 1 semitone up?
I went back and forth between 1 & 2. For some reason 1 still sounded a little slow to me, but I think you hit it on the head!!

Hey man, how are ya? Man, I miss those days too! Can you believe that was 5+ years ago? Great times. Let's see if there's anything interesting to do with the new set!

It's exactly 7% faster, so a bit more than one semitone? The human voice has a certain characteristic when the speed is changed, and I think that's the closest I can get it to Brian's natural timbre.
I do think it's most likely Brian and not Carl. It seems like they were actively experimenting with speeding up or slowing down vocals around this time.

Hearing it might be Dennis definitely caused my ears to further prick up at that section. Regardless of whether or not it is him, I'm more aware/appreciative of the texture of the vocal at that point
(I think it being Dennis is a possibility)

Weird ... that actually sounds like Al to me! But I think my vote still goes to Carl. Really interesting vocals on this record.

The part under discussion has to be Carl. Haha I wonder if we could use speed variations to make each Wilson sound like another Wilson with other songs?

My vote goes for Carl too. But it is amazing how much Brian, Carl, Al, and sometimes even Mike sound like each other on WH, which is part of the charm of the album for me.

I'm surprised not too many hear it! I'd bet money that it's BW. Stuck out to me like a sore thumb first time I listened to the remix.
Food for thought (and though it doesn't prove anything): if it's Carl singing the chorus, why didn't he reprise it in live performances?

Same reason both Carl and Dennis sang "Help Me, Rhonda"
... but seriously, the vocals on this album are so unusual compared to other BB records. "How She Boogalooed It" could be any of them, for example!

I always assumed that in the live arrangement Carl sang Brian's studio part and Al sang Carl's studio part.

I don't believe I've logged onto this message board in literally over ten years...
and I've come all the way back so I could find this thread and ask if anyone else is bothered that the piano in this stereo mix doesn't fade for the last measure of the intro like it does in the mono mix.
I'll post again in 2028. Be good, everyone; glad you're all well.
