"Blessed" is not a word I'd use in conjunction with
GIOMH
. "Inflicted" might be closer to the mark.

For general public consumption, I'd like to see something along the lines of;
Thirty Years on the Road--The Beach Boys Live on Tour--1964 to 1994. This could be bottled up on one CD like Sounds of Summer. This would take the average consumer through the years from the "Lost Concert" period right through Kokomo and beyond.
Include unreleased and previously released live material from the middle years.
A thirty song disc should do it for this release.
And as archival material is mined to put together this money maker, the powers that be could put aside the dozens of choice rare and unreleased live recordings for periodic release as a sort of "Dicks Picks" series of BeachBoys live performances complete withliner notes discussing the state of the band at the time of each recording.
Talk about Fun Fun Fun!
This is what I want. This is what I'll buy.
And I think it would sell. Look at Concert and In Concert----sold quite well!

They'd never be able to promote it - you can't say 'Dick' on the Blue Board.

Maybe it would have been better to have saved "Soul Searching" for this Hallmark release; add an unreleased Dennis track and all five original members could have been represented.

OK. We can sell it on the Grateful Dead site. Probably a lot more hits on that site anyway

thinkin about the 1974 tracks and who's playing....would Ricky Fataar be playing in it? I'm pretty comfident in saying he did, but probably not Blondie. This wouldnt be the Beachago tour, would it? I'm pretty sure that took place in 1975...oooo, i'd love to get my hands on those tapes, what a treat! it is cool that we get our hands on 1974 material though...not really material but I'm pretty sure the only chance we heard the BB in 74 was Child of Winter, right?

It's probably stuff from the widely-disseminated We Got Love bootleg from 74, Endless Summer tour.

Ricky started phasing out in the fall of 74 and was out by December. So it depends upon when in the year the recordings were made. If it is the summer tour, Ricky would definitely be there.
Blondie, of course, left in 1973.

I would imagine that the stuff on the Hallmark CD could possibly be from the same show that's been booted, but I doubt they would just pull the tracks off of the boot. I'm sure all of these live tracks are shows that were available on multitrack in the Brother vaults, and therefore have been mixed for this new release. So, the sound quality at least should hopefully be quite good on these tracks.
The circa 1989 BB's weren't always on their A-game when it came to doing the old hits (usually not that bad, just sort of rote, bland performances), so I'm not as hopeful about the quality of the performances on this CD. Then again, the BB's all presumably signed off on the release, so it must sound pretty decent in terms of performance quality.
As for the '74 recordings, I would guess Ricky Fataar is on them, seeing as how he was with the band for the majority of that year. I think Bobby Figueroa was in the band by that time as well.
It also just struck me that we probably shouldn't count on a great amount of detailed recording information in the CD booklet, if it's supposed to be a bit of a cheapie, impulse-buy type of release. I imagine it would be simple to include the musician credits and recording dates even on the back cover or even a one-sheet cover insert, though.
Maybe we should start guessing what the title of this CD will be. Here are some guesses:
Sounds of Father's Day
Endless Father's Day
Spirit of Father's Day
Unleash the Father's Day
Father's Day in Paradise
Looking Back at Father's Day
First Father's Day
Country Father's Day
MIU Father's Day
Salute to Father's Day
Summertime Father's Day
Group Therapy - Father's Day Edition

Lifted from DJ M's excellent
www.uncanny1.blogspot.com
Mike Love: I’m hoping that it [Love's new album] comes out in the spring. I know there’s one song that was slated for that album that’s going to come out by Father’s Day. Hallmark is going to do an issue of a bunch of Beach Boys’ songs plus one from me called Cool Head and Warm Heart, which is an expression that Maharishi made about 10 years ago. I was at a TM gathering in Vlodrop, Holland, and I remember him saying, “You need a cool head and a warm heart,” and I said, “Wow, that’s cool,” so I made up a little song that says “You need a cool head and a warm heart to get you through the day without coming apart. You need a cool head and a warm heart and that’s how every day should start.” So there’s another situation there. My new CD has a lot of philosophy on there, meaning philosophical point of view, not overbearingly I hope, but just little hints. Maybe it’s “don’t get stressed out, especially when there are things you can do nothing about. The nature of life is to be always changing and what you need when things start to rearrangin’ is a cool head and warm heart.” That is going to come out on that CD that Hallmark is coming out with. They’re planning a huge campaign and they’re going to have it out in the stores apparently for Father’s Day, so I’m hoping that concurrent with that, I can get my CD out as well.

Releasing a CD via hallmark may seem a little silly to some but I remember reading somewhere that Michael McDonald sold 2 million copies of his Christmas record through Hallmark. It seems to by a viable alternative to the traditional route of releasing music.
Most likely the CD will cost you $7.99 when you buy three hallmark cards.
Talk about a racket!

Ew, I just got my hands on a recording of Spirit of Rock and Roll... I hope Brian & co. can do a much better version.. because quite frankly, I do not enjoy this song one bit. Especially the lyrics, how lame.

A racket, allright. Hallmark cards usually cost like $3-$5. I suppose it's all good for people who are already in there to purchase stuff. I would imagine it will cost less to just buy the CD, if they offer that option. I have largely given up buying greeting cards of any sort. I make them myself, and people usually like them much more (or they're just saying they like them, in which case, oh well!)
I have a few relatives that go nuts buying the Hallmark X-mas ornaments each season. They literally buy every ornament released. I'm not into it, but it has meant I've been able to get all of the Beatles and Beach Boys-related Hallmark ornaments (including several different Yellow Submarine ornaments, and a little car that plays "Little Saint Nick").
I would imagine this CD could sell fairly well. I don't think the CD will be as appealing to aging baby boomers or whatever demographic of people who buy Michael McDonald Motown covers, but then again, I'll bet one of the best selling BB CD's each year are those cheapie versions of the X-Mas album sold at drug stores and every other store. It usually is missing several songs from the full album, and usually sells for like $4.99.
This sort of store-exclusive release format is not new to the BB's, or at least Mike Love, right? I've read some people mention that that "Rock and Roll City" thing released at Radio Shack stores around 1983 sold some insane amount of copies, as in several hundred thousand. I haven't any clue if that is accurate or not.

I'm with c-man on this one. I almost burst out laughing when I hear Dylan singing on this song. And I love Dylan.
To me, this was an attempt by Landy/someone to surround Brian with as many "names" as possible to get attention. Much like like GIOMH sixteen years later...

He's alright singing it, but it's just not a song Bob Dylan should be singing, you know? His voice, his.. aura, doesn't fit the feeling of the song, and to have him try to fit the feeling of the song and pretty much accomplish it just sounds wrong, because of what his voice is usually associated with.

Breaking out of the mold is what Brian and Dylan are all about. It's not "right" for the BB's to have done SMiLE/SMiLEY, because of what they are usually associated with, as well.
