The track at the end is not a re-recording, it's just what was on the tape after the master cuts off to go a capella.  There's a big drum fill without any other instruments (thus the opportunity for Bruce to reharmonize here) and then I think they actually play another verse, but I might be misremembering that part.

I see, very interesting!

Sorry, maybe I'm missing something, but how does that explain the G / Cm / F progression at 1:29? Is the instrumental here a different take from the original (or spliced in from a different section in the instrumental take)?

Pretty wild how they even accomplished making this ending. They must've had to go into the multi's and re-record a lot of the instruments to follow the new chords.

Sorry if it's been spoken about already, but Mr. Desper, if you're reading this, do you remember recording this bit? It seems like a lot of effort went into matching the original sounds.

Yes and no. The track as recorded went into a drum fill and continued through another cycle and a half of the whole progression before falling apart, but that's not what was used here. They copied the tape, kept the drums and lead guitar, wiped other instruments, and added new bass and glockenspiel onto that second bridge/chorus section out.

The alternate lead vocal tracks were on the original tape, copied with the rest. I guess Mark used them in this mix to make it more of a full 'alternate' package.

There's apparently no Brian here - seems to just be Bruce (times three), Carl (times two) and Mike stacked on six parts (unless one of those is actually Al). Bruce has his arranging fingerprints all over this.

Thanks to Joshilyn and SM for their insights. Bruce, eh? Explains why it comes off that little bit too gooey.

Is that ending to "This whole World", which I haven't heard yet, the same they played on that one commercial?

I believe so, this is the alternate tag described


That's cool. Also nice that we can now connect these two things 'officially'.



The released "This whole World"'s ending is perfect and one of the most powerful moments in the Beach Boys' canon imo. It gives the song something to go out on. The alternate ending - after one listen - is very nice but doesn't round up the song. It sounds like an unfinished thing. It was definitely the right decision to use the acapella tag.

I'm not saying that this ending is superior to the official one by any means, not even close. Just that it is interesting and excellent in its own right.

I didn't mean to suggest that you was saying this. Just wanted to add the thoughts that came to my mind when listening to the song.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Oh interesting, I didn't listen to the snippets as it tend to ruin the first listening experiences for me so I missed out on all of that haha. I'm very much looking forward to hearing how it sounds with the original lyrics

Judging by the snippet, it'll be exactly the same mixing as the version that has gone around for the past 15 odd years (hard panned lead vocal and all). But it'll at least be in high quality finally Smiley

Interestingly, this alternate ending is one of the only BB songs I can think of that has a true ending and doesn't fade out.

I can think of loads. The discussion got me thinking about fadeouts though, and some googling turned up the following article which happens to mention Caroline No.

Great article but the knee-jerk, reactionary pedant in me must point out the error in this statement:

Quote from: The above article
or the bass flutes that take unexpected prominence at the end of “Caroline, No.

It's actually one concert C flute, two alto flutes, and one bass flute....

So apparently no one wants to talk about the other track that just got released. I have a few questions though about Surf's Up - A Cappella.

Was the entire vocal track for the first movement recorded in 1971? Who, if anyone, sings on it apart from Carl? And where exactly did "bygone, bygone" come from? Does it appear on anything that was recorded in 1966/67? Could it possibly have been an idea someone came up with in 1971, and if so who?

Al is on the tag, A Childrens Song, and that tag is AWESOME! I think the bygone bygone, sounds like it could be a female....maybe Marilyn Wilson? Always wondered who that was singing it too.

All of the vocals in the first half of the song were recorded in 1971.

'Bygone' is Carl and Carl doubling himself with a whisper; unclear who invented the part.

'Domino' harmonies are Bruce and Carl.

'Are you sleeping' harmony is Brian.

Thanks, SM. One of those "domino" harmony vocals (Carl's or Bruce's?) could have shattered a window.

Possibly fewer are talking about it because the recording data on the song has been known for a long time. Plus, a vocals-only track on this song did leak like 15+ years ago.

Not saying it's not worth talking about; it's one of the most amazing songs of their career, and this is one of the most impressive vocals one could possibly isolate.

Another track up on Spotify: Slip On Through - Alternate 1969 Mix With Session Intro. Nothing too amazing - basically the Sunflower version with fewer overdubs and a false start take at the beginning.
