All Beach Boys/Brian Wilson music things you own

[RobtheNobleSurfer]

I haven't played the LP, but someone years ago (before I bought the LP) gave me a tape dub. I listened to it once and put it away.
Yes, Murry does Warmth of the Sun and Al wrote the instrumental "Italia".

[Don't Back Down]

Forgot a few: Good Vibrations Box Set, my real introduction to the BBoys (Best Christmas present EVER) after hearing "Surfin'", the first BBoys song I ever heard in the 90's. Pet Sounds Sessions Box, best bday  present ever. City Blues piano demo

[RobtheNobleSurfer]

I have both box sets as well. I thought it was implied when I said "all studio albums on CD".  I bought the GV box when I was in college - it was a financial choice between that and going to see the BB play at Massey Hall in Toronto(during the "box set tour" of all things!!! man am I still kicking myself over that one!) The PS box was my wife's (who then was my girlfriend) first Christmas present to me.

I only own this one thing and it's better than anything in the Beach Boys entire catalog!

[RobtheNobleSurfer]

I saw that in a used record store in KC for the longest time. They priced it at $25-40 range!

[monkee knutz]

I got it for $2. and sent in some Solo plastic cup UPC labels. It's pretty awful, actually.
Should be called "Mike & Dean: Opportunty Whores."

some of the BB Endless Summer TV shows from' 89

This  was a summer replacement variety show that aired in syndication in '89. The BB had just scored big with Kokomo so their profile was once again, fairly high. It featured then-recent BB concert performances, BB performances on the Universal Soundstage, musical and comedy guests (a then relatively unknown Ellen Degeneres was one such guest). But the highlight of each episode was the "campfire singalongs". The BB, most of their families, their sidemen, and others gathered around a capfire with acoustic guitars playing and singing a la the BB Party album. Pretty sweet stuff! This show was a brainchild of one of the Full House producers who had the good sense to hire Steve Binder to direct the thing. Binder was the guy who directed Elvis' 68 Comeback Special. Now that I think about it, the Campfire jams was probably Binder telling the BB, "I did this sitdown set for the Elvis special----I think it might make for interesting viewing". Alan Boyd included a short clip from this show in ENDLESS HARMONY (the clip of the guys playing "Surfin'")

BW Lost Hotel Tape

This was a home video shot at a hotel on an early 90's BB tour. It had Brian, BJ, Jeff Foskett, and John Stamos all around a piano shooting the sh*t and playing tunes. Great fun to watch (even if the quality is crap).

[Margarita]

Aside from the usual audio, video, books, and tour programs:

 - The two albums of Beach Boys songs as played by the Hollyridge Strings
 - All of the little die-cast BB cars from circa 1999
 - Framed Frank Holmes Smile litho
 - The Beach Boys Barbie (circa 1988), including the little flexi-disc record with a song by Brian
 - A reel-to-reel tape of Wild Honey
 - An 8-track of Beach Boys Love You, purchased by my dad in 1977 and played only once
 - Smile concert program, signed by everybody except Brian after one of the first Smile UK concerts (thanks, Dan Lega!)
 - An Orange Crate Art poster, signed by Van Dyke Parks
 - A mint Capitol 45 of "Caroline, No" signed by Brian (autograph obtained by me at Brian's M&G at Tower Records in NYC, 7/24/98)
 - And the center of the collection...a battered 8-track tape called Good Vibrations, released in 1971 on the Pickwick label.  Even though it doesn't seem like much, this collection of songs is what showed me that there is more to the Beach Boys than what is on Endless Summer.  I obtained this tape in 1982 when I was 10.

Then I have (or got for my friend) a "Kokomo" liscence plate signed by Mike, Bruce and the rest of the band from last year.

That's beyond perfect. Congrats.

I have a 15 Big Ones kite

Priceless! 

Wow -- I used to have one of those kites.   They fell apart, and I don't know what happened to them.  Had forgotten all about it.  I do still have a 15 Big Ones Frisbee.

[Third Coast]

I haven't played the LP, but someone years ago (before I bought the LP) gave me a tape dub. I listened to it once and put it away.
Yes, Murry does Warmth of the Sun and Al wrote the instrumental "Italia".

Seems like Brad Elliott claimed a few years ago that Brian co-wrote one of the Murry tunes without credit on the LP.  It might have been "Heartbreak Lane."

[RobtheNobleSurfer]

Yes, I do remember Brad saying that and I was going to mention it myself in my post, but I couldn't and don't remember the song title.
