Feel Flows box set

[Bedroom Tapes]

That Feel Flows track and vocals is exquisite!   

[guitarfool2002]

I wonder if we'll get any new interviews with the band together for this release

If there are any group interviews, Mike and Bruce need to get their matching Robert Graham striped shirts out of storage and have them cleaned and pressed.

It certainly is! The end is insanely great.

Based on the snippets I have heard, there is no doubt in my mind that this set will smash a lot of preconceptions held towards the Beach Boys as being a "surf group".

I think this will do more to open them up to a new audience than the Smile Sessions ever did. And for those who know how much Smile means to me, that is a HUGE revelation.

Imo San Miguel is one of the unreleased greats. Superb energy, rocking guitar solo, great arrangment and sublime harmonies. How the hell didn't this make the cut on Sunflower or Surf's Up

Replace Tears in the Morning (sorry Bruce) and start side B with San Miguel = near perfect album!

I have read both the Record Collector (#521) and the Shindig! (#118) cover stories. The RC one must be one of the best articles written lately about the group. The Dennis piece on Shindig! was largely built for archive quotes, but the Feel Flows era on Record Collector is well thought and has exclusive quotes from all the surviving bandmates (most interesting is Al Jardine talking about All This is That or Bruce Johnston on 'Til I Die -shame that they used "Brian"'s words from the WIBN book about that song) although the real attraction are the insights of Alan Boyd and Mark Linett (not a fan of the sonics on Smiley Smile).

Thanks for the positive comments. I think you should check out the stereo mix of Smiley Smile that we did several years ago and perhaps  revaluate the sound of the record. What we also discovered was the mono album had one if not two additional generations  of copies used to create fades and edits which given the production , greatly lowered the quality of the mono mix

Absolutely jammin' to San Miguel  I can't contain my excitement for Friday!!

Jack Rieley's perspective on the track selection for Surf's Up, including the exclusion of San Miguel, is related in the posts from "Beach Head" on this page:

http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=9651.0

Rieley at first appears to take "credit" for the decision on the grounds that it was "just a hook, not a song" -- whatever the hell that means -- before claiming the decision was "made by Dennis Wilson, with Brian Wilson and Carl Wilson and I supporting him". I personally find it a bit hard to believe that Dennis would have preferred having nothing at all on Surf's Up to San Miguel, but who knows.

Also quite a vocal reveal on Feel Flow. I think it sounds like Brian laying down a double-tracked sustained vocal during the instrumental/sax segment. Never picked up on that before!

I'm familiar with the stereo Smiley Smile you did. I love the album in its own twisted way, anyway. Although the original is quite lo-fi, by "not a fan of the sonics on Smiley Smile" I meant that you said that you did not like the sound of it, technically speaking. That was another thing I liked about the piece: hearing from you and Alan Boyd's experiences as fans.

So somewhere along the lines with all of the stuff about this set being moved up for later release I got it in my head that is was due for a late September release. Today I say it was due on Friday and my mind went nuts, I'm so looking forward for this, and instead of having to wait a whole month, as I previously though, it's only one week, AWESOME!

I was referring to the mono master used for the original release, not the recording

[Pablo.]

Understood.

[RealBriefcase]

Holy smokes, that new San Miguel mix is great! Especially enjoy how prominent the falsetto vocals on the coda are now.

Absolutely!

If they get enough airplay - and if they're able to manufacture/produce enough copies......  😔😞🎼🎹🥁🎸

That "Feel Flows" track with backing vox is just astounding!

BTW, what happened to the Big Sur single on YouTube? I went to see it earlier tonight and it had been pulled.

It's still there for me.

It's missing from YouTube Music for me. There's a hole in my BB playlist where it goes, but I'll just fill it in on Friday.

Bit late to the party (been trying to limit computer use, I suffered a concussion 8 days ago) but these are both amazing as others have said. I think Feel Flows almost works better without the flute to be honest.

Didn't realize the set is out Friday. Thought it was the 31st.
