I really don't like how the "deep and wide" part sounds in the remix of Time To Get Alone.  All the power has been sucked out of it.

And the new version of Fallin' in Love is a bit of a disappointment.  I prefer the original mix, with the stark opening and with Dennis's vocals more prominent.

I used to love the "power" of the original "deep & wide" line, but as I became more aware of studio effects and realized that the sound of it was achieved by many layers of echo, I found
it hard to listen to without being aware of the artificial tone of it. IMO, if it has been made to
sound more natural, like the gorgeous, relaxed Hawthorne, CA version, that's a good thing
(apologies to Martha Stewart). Smiley

Getting use to the new mixes of Lady and Dont Worry Baby. I would really like to know what that piece of music is at the begining for Why Do Fools Fall In Love. Doesn't sound like it was part of that song. Unless it is a riff from the backing track. Mark? Alan?

Neither Mark nor Alan, but to me it sounds like a experiment with Spector's sound. Probably vocals would've been added. I imagine it being in the form of the beginning and ending to "In the parkin' lot". Maybe Brian got the idea to that from his first version of WDFFIL or vice versa

PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


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.

which basically carries over to the remixes of In the Parkin' Lot, etc

Where has "In the Parkin' Lot" been remixed?

Nowhere, I guess.  For some odd reason I was thinkin' it was remixed.  Try "Hushabye".

WDFFIL intro was recorded at the same Gold Star session as the rest of the song, but obviously not used on the orig. release. Nobody would have known this intro even existed if the multi-track master had not been found recently, which it was. I think the intro and the new mix sound great....classic Brian meets Spector stuff.

Yeah, that intro sounds like it would have some talking over top of it
(as someone in one of these threads mentioned about a week or two ago). Real melodramatic like the shangri-las or darlene love

The intro just sounds like Brian playing variations on Be My Baby.

I agree. It also reminds me of a song that would only materialize many years later, "This Isn't Love".
