The vocal arrangements on that album (whether VDP's or with some input from Brian) are stunning, with all sorts of crazy layers of Brian vocals doing crazy, amazing things. And "San Francisco" indeed is one of the most impressive tracks.

While I love layered Brians and that has its own unique sound, it would have *also* been amazing to hear something like "San Francisco" with the other BBs doing those epic group vocals.

The "Complete" Cal Saga also has art now too, albeit a blurry shot of a vinyl copy with a price tag!

Today I heard something I never heard of before: "Twelve-o-Four" by Bob & Bobby.  Is that Brian singing on it?  Who is the girl singer?  What's the story behind it?

Has anyone heard anything from the "Pacific Ocean Blue" album?

I see that Carl's solo work has been getting some play.

Anyone hear anything from Dennis?

They've played material from both the "POB" album proper as well as the second "Bambu" disc:











They're playing stuff from all three Carl solo albums (two solo plus the "Beckley-Lamm-Wilon" album) and are also playing live tracks from the weird grey-area releases:



Thanks for the Dennis update! This channel is a lot of fun especially over a holiday weekend! I hope it sticks around or at least returns next summer as an annual event.

It’s my understanding that the OCA vocal arrangements are entirely Brian’s. Why he wasn’t credited, I have no idea, but VDP certainly isn’t known for intricate choral arrangements.

I would tend to agree. I just recall there was one VDP fan on Facebook that took me to task for saying they were Brian arrangements. My thing was that I couldn't picture VDP, what, singing every one of those parts to Brian first? Naw.

Now, BW was quoted at one point saying that VDP had to teach him the songs, which some took to mean all of the vocal parts. I suspect instead that Van taught him the lead lines and Brian built up the extra parts in the studio — no doubt with input from Van Dyke. But many of those tune just sound like BW vocal arrangements.

Agreed. Cannot picture Parks coming up with those vocal arrangements

Yeah, but in interviews at the time Brian said Van Dyke arranged the vocals, and he (Brian) just sang 'em. For what it's worth.

Even setting aside that certain twists and turns and interjections in the vocal stacks sound like "pure Brian" (and appropriately later era Brian at that), I think just logistically that it wouldn't be very easy for VDP to literally arrange every note in every part of those vocal stacks.

I assume Brian usually if not always hasn't done his solo vocal stacks by reading notation off of a page, so that's where it becomes far fetched for VDP (or anyone) to relate every note of every part of those vocal stacks.

I'm sure, as the sole "writer" of the songs, VDP wrote the top-line melodies for the songs. Some songs are busier than others vocally. So with, say, the lead lines of the title track, minus the "ooohs" and other wordless backing vocals, it's Brian mostly just stacking onto that lead melody line. If every song was like that, I'd barely register a "vocal arranger" credit, as it would just be following that lead melody line and stacking appropriate notes above and below it.

But the album has all sorts of twisting and turning wordless backing vocals, modulations (some of which may not have come out of the original composition lead lines), hard-edged sort of jutting interjecting backing vocal stabs, and so on. A lot of supremely Brian-esque stuff going on there, stuff very different from the vibe, feel, or content of VDP's solo show renditions of the songs (which obviously can't replicate the album since VDP's live renditions I've heard are often solo). I'm thinking, for instance, about some of the sweeping near-a cappella powerhouse endings Brian gives to some of the songs. Unless someone could provide pretty hard contemporary audio proof or something, I just don't buy that Brian didn't at the very least contribute enough to those vocal arrangements to warrant a "co-arranger" credit. He did, again I'm guessing, much more than sing what was dictated with just simply a few tiny contributions/ideas.

I think the main takeaway is that, especially in my view many years later, it was a fruitful *collaboration*. A supremely unique Brian product; it sounds both *just like Brian* and in some ways *unlike* anything else he ever did, singing *entirely* someone else's *original* compositions for an entire album yet putting his layered, stacked vocal stamp on it.

Agreed 100%. Which is why it also would have been fascinating to have other members of the BBs take the lead vocals on some of these tracks to add to that blend. That would have made OCA into a kind of 90s analogue of Pet Sounds, where Brian is (or quite often certainly seems to be) the sum total of the backing vocals. It's a variation on the usual BB sound that has a more physical component to it than the straight-ahead contrapuntal blend achieved with the group (stemming largely from the vocals being recorded all at once, instead of overdubbed separately).

Now, if Sirius will only play "Mess of Help" followed by "It's OK," it will finally become clear that the latter is a rewrite of the former...

I recall reading a review of a circa 1995 "Beach Boys" concert where some fan yelled out at Mike to sing "Orange Crate Art", and Mike supposedly saying something along the lines of "we don't do that one!" I honestly don't think that contemporary fan review really strongly indicated how annoyed or bemused Mike was when saying this.

I'm not sure what the other guys thought of Brian's activity circa 1995. One might think they'd be annoyed he churned out two albums that year without them, but then again during this same time Brian was being met with mixed (at best) reactions and meager enthusiasm for working on the Paley/Was stuff.

I've always sensed some of the guys in the group (perhaps particularly Mike and Carl) just weren't heavy into the idea in the mid-1990s of doing something in the "Pet Sounds" mold of Brian doing a whole album with an outside collaborator, and essentially hiring the other BBs in as session vocalists.

But yeah, one can't help but wonder how interesting and wonderful it might have been to hear the full BB group (with Matt included) tackle "Orange Crate Art" material, and I say this as someone who *loves* the "stacked Brian" sound as well.

Someone may have already mentioned this one a ways back, but they are playing the (awful) Status Quo/BB version of "Fun Fun Fun."

....Followed by "Run James Run", which is the first time I've seen anything from "Playback."

1995 was just a wacky year for the BBs in general. Mike's lawsuit had just concluded; Landy's bio of Brian had ruffled a lot of feathers and the dust had yet to settle. As a result, no one was willing to cut Brian much slack. Brian was not nearly ready to address the then-lingering issue of SMiLE, but the hook-up with VDP prompted a great deal of speculation.

One of the lost opportunities in the latter-day career of the BBs is that Carl died before Brian would turn around his feelings about SMiLE. There's every reason to think that Carl would have embraced the idea of completing it, given his earlier involvement. That would have provided additional flexibility with respect to vocal arrangements and given the entire project additional credibility.

 I don’t think Brian would have recorded or toured solo in the way that he did if Carl were still alive.  And if Brian hadn’t forge the relationship he did with the band, there’s no way he would have felt comfortable performing or recording Smile again. It’s awful to say, but I think Carl’s death opened more doors for BW creatively than it closed.

Must have been a big day for the Salute to Nascar album,  I heard Little GTO.

Also, several clips from Marilyn have been airing the past couple of days.
