Mr. Boyd, do you know anything about this? :

"They (The Beach Boys) also have a new, as yet untitled, album ready for release, possibly by summer, which contains 14 songs." From a link (http://www.smileysmile.net/index.php/upcoming_releases_from_bbs_and_mike_love) from the bottom of the page. Is this the new "Warmth of the Sun" compilation?

Thanks! Smiley

I've learned not to trust news reports. Al probably told a reporter that it was going to be a Beach Boys reunion album or something.

"Even though the last of the band's four No. 1 hits was "Kokomo" in 1988, they're still recording. Last summer, the Beach Boys released an album through Hallmark entitled "Songs From Here and Back."

They also have a new, as yet untitled, album ready for release, possibly by summer, which contains 14 songs."

Seeing as Songs From Here And Back contained precisely no new BB recordings, I'm highly dubious about the accuracy of the rest of this 'scoop'. Any album to carry the BB banner cannot be new recordings unless Mike, Bruce, Brian & Alan have been doing something covert. It's not WOTS, that's got about 30 tracks.

Surely this is simply the projected "Mike Love Not War / Unleash The Love" ongoing project - under the guise of the Beach Boys Band, tho' it'll undoubtedly appear as a 'solo' effort to avoid the legal issues.  Undecided

I don't think it is, because they discussed that too: "Love himself is set to come out with an album that harkens back to the India days of the Beach Boys and Beatles, called "Pisces Brothers."

Buy hey, who knows?

AGD: Yeah I didn't think it would be WOTS, I figured it would be more than 14 tracks.

I don't know anything about a new 14 track BB album, but the new Capitol comp is finished and will be out in the spring.  28 songs, a solid collection that should complement Sounds of Suummer nicely, and hopefully this new CD will get some of the folks who enjoyed that album deeper into the BB catalog.  Nothing unreleased on this line-up, but there are some gorgeous new stereo mixes....

Hey Alan, did you see the following post on the blueboard?

I have unreleased video from 1969

(posted by Terry Kath on February 14, 2007 at 9:51 pm)

Message:

Hello everyone.

Can anyone please direct me to the most active Beach Boy related message boards or forums to discuss this?

This board seems to be very active, but out of respect to Brian, I would rather post further at another site.

Here's some general information on this video:

It was professionally filmed at the Olympia Theater in Paris, France on June 16, 1969. It was filmed in B&W and to my knowledge, it was never aired anywhere in the world.

The performers include:
Mike Love
Carl Wilson
Dennis Wilson
Al Jardine
Bruce Johnston
unknown bassist/keyboardist (same guy)
7 piece "orchestra" from the UK

The Set List:
Darlin'
Wouldn't It Be Nice
California Girls
I Can Hear Music


It's about 1 hour long and there are no commercials or breaks.

I can't seem to find any place on the web that mentions this concert or any indication that this footage has surfaced.

Your help is GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks,
TK

As much as I enjoy the original mono mixes, I can't wait to hear the new stereo versions. "Please Let Me Wonder" - any chance you tell us the names of other titles?

I'm glad we don't have to wait an eternity for more EH/Hawthorne-eque sets to get new mixes.  I'm really looking foward to this now.  Any tracklistings yet?

Check out "God Only Knows". Very sweet performance if you ask me.

Thanks for that link!  I'd love to see this whole concert, and others like it from this time.  I'm dying to see Mike Love in his guru outfit singing "Fun, Fun, Fun" and "Barbara Ann".  (I wonder if he ever did "Long Tall Texan" in that get-up?!)

Alan, I hope you've got, or are trying to get hold of this video.  It's priceless.

Love and merci,  Dan Lega

Actually, it turns out that the French National Film and Television Archives hold a number of Beach Boys performances from the 1960s and 70s - that's definitely on our list of things to do....

Alan - with all the collecting of film and videotape, and cataloguing of tapes, are there plans for more archival releases ala Hawthorne or the Endless Harmony DVD?  A more extensive "Anthology" type history of the beach Boys?  Or are the plans for this material to be used on the upcoming website for downloads and limited edition CD's and DVD's ordered through the website?

Mr. Boyd, a few of us have been discussing songwriting methods on a thread at the below link. I think I speak for everyone when I say we'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Hey, I was just listening to little surfer girl on the box set and realized (not for the first time) that BW is asking for instruments that aren't on the mix we hear to be turned up in his earphones. So, is there more to this song that a different mix could reveal? Also, do we know who this was intended for (The Honeys,I presume), as the pov seems to be of a girl .Sorry if this has already been covered...

Watched Sights of Summer recently and it is done pretty well. A quick semi unrelated question. Why hasn't Monster Mash from the "Lost" concert been used anywhere and also are there any plans for any more DVD's soon?

The publisher for "Monster Mash" wanted a great deal of money for a sync license for the "Lost Concert" DVD, and since the publishing licenses all had a "favored nations" clause (meaning that none of the owners of songs in the show were willing to take any LESS money than any of the other publishers) the song had to be deleted from the DVD edition of the film.  Otherwise the licenses would have so prohibitively expensive that SabuCat wouldn't have been able to release the DVD at all.

There is talk about some sort of DVD that may come out in the wake of WARMTH OF THE SUN, but nothing definite has been worked out as of yet.  So far we've just had some coversations about possible content...

I figured this was another song for "Bob and Bobbie", which is Bob Norberg and his girlfriend.  (Brian calls out to Bob during this take, doesn't he?  And what was the other song that Brian produced for Bob and Bobbie?)  To me, this song, "LIttle Surfer Girl", seems to be a duet for a guy and a girl, not just a song for a girl.  Listen to it again and see if you don't pick up that a guy would sing one line and a girl would sing another.  I'm hoping Bob Norberg, who apparently has some old tapes of he and Brian that have never been heard, has a more complete take of this song.  Of course this is the time to ask Alan Boyd if they've approached Bob Norberg about archiving his tapes!

That brief little snippet has always been a mystery to me.  Brian sings something like "get on your board my big surfer boy, ride all the waves that come by, I'm on my board little surfer girl..."  So you're right it does seem like a duet, especially since the first two lines are sung in a higher voice than the "little surfer girl" line.  What gets me though is that those few lines are all we have on the GV box, and when it fades on there you can tell that Brian is still singing something.  Those lines can't be all there was to it.
