Carl's final studio recordings were backing vocals for two Michael Angeloff songs, "Here And Now... Is Forever" & "Life's So Strange".

Brian had wanted him to do a vocal on his "Imagination" album, but they never got to it.
Gee, I've never heard that. Probably because I wasn't a fan in the years around Imagination but that would have been fantastic. What song does everyone think Carl would best be suited on?
Carl wanted to do Lay Down Burden. I can't imagine him singing it, though, or any other leads on the album, probably because I'm so used to Brian. I can picture him singing the "runnin', runnin' runnin' wild" part in the chorus of Your Imagination.

That's interesting Aegir. That's nice to know that Carl got to hear atleast some of the songs from the album (not in finished form of course). I can't really imagine him singing any of the songs either (hence why I didn't suggest any songs that I thought he should've sung) but as you say it's probably because we're so used to Brian.

I guess that knocks the myth that Brian wrote "LDB" as a requiem for Carl firmly on the head, then.

Actually, that myth was demolished a long time ago. I remember Lauri Klobas mentioning that title to me, and that was in April 1997.

My understanding is that Brian came up with the title & chorus of "LDB" after learning that Audree's condition had taken a turn for the worse (up to a year before she actually died), and the rest of the song after learning of Carl's cancer diagnosis. The April '97 date would fit in with that just fine.
I did read somewhere once a different title mentioned in conjunction with the song Brian wanted Carl to sing (and I believe the story goes he wanted him to sing the lead). It wasn't a song that actually made the "Imagination" album, but the title was something like "Portrait Of A Man". Not quite I'm sure, but close to that title.

Yep. Believe I read that in an ESQ around the album release, with the quote attributed to Joe Thomas. Don't recall the actual song title, but Thomas made it clear that it WAS NOT LDB. I think that just grew out of myth.

That's interesting, I've never heard that before.
I guess now that I think about the lyrics, that would make sense. "Just remember the way I held you, you're always in my heart".
Brian's songs aren't usually very obvious as to who they are about, so who knows? Maybe its some combination of Marilyn, Carl and his mother.

I would say it's definitely a comibination of Audree & Carl, and maybe Marilyn.
Or Landy. (Just kidding).

What's the story behind the Beach Boys backing Collin Raye on "Winter wonderland" (doing this very good imo) ? Is Brian with them (it definitely sounds like him on some parts)? Was it from the S&S-sessions?

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.

Brian's there in the mix for sure. Not certain of the chronology, but that might Carl's last BB session. Certainly it post-dates the Quo "Fun, Fun, Fun" thing.
And yes, it is nice.

Were the sessions for Soul Searchin' and Still A Mystery the last Beach Boy's sessions of original material? Are there any confirmed instances of them going into the studio in 1997? I would imagine that Carl was pretty sick by then though.

No 1997 studio sessions that I know of, and by September Carl was too unwell to tour.

Not sure if this has already been posted (maybe on the Beach Boys YouTube thread??) but thought I would post anyway. It's an Australian Today Show interview from of Brian from 1995. Brian discusses IGIJWMFTT release and Orange Crate Art and a little on the next Beach Boys record. Brian sounds really optimistic about a hit record from the Beach Boys in summer of 1996.

Thanks! This makes me so sad, Brian and Mike really wanted to work again with each other.
