"Getcha Back" falsetto

[Custom Machine]

More fuel for the fire since this thread started. Claims to be an early mix.

For sure Brian sings the falsetto on the released version.

As far as this YouTube post claiming to be "The Beach Boys - Getcha Back (Rare Early Studio Demo)," I don't hear any Beach Boys vocals or Foskett anywhere in this mix. Definitely could be Adrian Baker.

So maybe I'm wrong, but I'm willing to say this is not a Beach Boys recording at all, but more likely an Adrian Baker recording with additional vocals from one Michael Love.

I love how when they performed this song for the 50th anniversary, literally no one (well except maybe Bruce) was singing the same part they did on the studio recording.  For the live version, Al was singing Brian's lower part, Jeff was singing Brian's higher part, Brian was singing Carl's part and David was singing Mike's part.  Wild!

Good observation - however, Mike sang his original bass part in 2012 as well.

That's an incredibly cool observation.

Is there any other song in the band's catalog that, when played live, as many parts were swapped and sung by other BBs official members live when compared to studio?  (not counting Brian's band or M&B, where the majority of singers are non BBs official members).

How 'bout Bruce? EDIT: nevermind, I see your remark now about how maybe he stayed true to his part.
