The "Shut Down Vol 2" Tapes Story

[Rocker]

I wonder what the 4 other songs are.

Maybe Jon can tell us?

That info was shared when this story broke back in the spring...probably in an old thread here somewhere, and I think in the current ESQ...but for those who didn't catch that info the first time around, the tracks on the three reels were Don't Worry Baby, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, Pom Pom Play Girl, In The Parking Lot, This Car of Mine and Denny's Drums. Interestingly there was guitar and bass on the initial takes of Denny's Drums...making it slightly more of a "song" than the released version. All of these tracks were recorded at Western and feature the BB's on the instruments except WDFFIL which is Goldstar and pure Wrecking Crew.

Interesing. A while back someone who I trust told me that it wasn't Dennis on "Denny's drums".....

When it comes to THIS sort of stuff, you should only trust Jon Stebbins & me.  And AGD.  And Boyd.  And maybe a couple of others. 

That's what I'm gonna do from now on (not listening to others that is). I know that you guys did your homework and I love your beachboysarchives-site

[The Heartical Don]

Damn, the Beach Boys could have had the track that inspired "Toad" and "Moby Dick". 

That reference is completely lost on me...what does that mean?

"Moby Dick" is a Led Zeppelin song that has a 20 minute drum solo...not sure what "Toad" is.

I always wondered what my idea of hell would be like. Now I know.

Thanks Jon!

I wonder if there was enough stuff on there to make a stereo mix of In The Parking Lot...that would've been good to put on SLS too.

Um, "In The Parking Lot" IS on SLS...you mean "Pom Pom Play Girl" ?

No, I did mean In The Parking Lot, but a new stereo mix.  I think it's not a new stereo remix that's on there.

That´s what Jon Stebbins wrote about "Denny´s Drums" on the ShutDownVol.2 board:

"From listening to the raw session IMO its definitely him on most of it, but maybe not all of it. There does seem to be an edit part way through the released version, and there are some tom overdubs. The first few attempts at the unreleased vers. of the song have bass and guitar on it as well. just little one note flourishes in between the drum soloing."

Chances are that was me. The joys of ongoing research dictates that such 'definitive' statements require revision from time to time. I was in error (as was my source, of course...) and it's 'fess up time. Mea culpa.

Toad was a ginger Baker riff on Fresh Cream...with a little Clapton and Brice mixed in.  No vocals.

I really don't remember. Maybe it was you. I only remember that I trusted that person enough to not doubt his infos. But it's always good to learn something new, so what the heck....
