Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread!

When Vegetables was declared to be the next single, how far did that go?
Was a sleeve made for it?
A b-side picked?
Particular version/mix?

Brian posed for at least one photo at the Farmer's Market in L.A. to "promote" it and that's probably as far as it went.

Alrighty, I know that picture...thanks

There's a photo, I think it's a promo for the 20/20 album era, but not the actual cover with those particular clothes.

It's also on page 211 in the Keith Badman book, my question is: What is Al holding in this picture?

If you don't have the pic handy, its the one where Bruce is wearing a leather jacket (some refer to him as Beatle Bruce in this picture), Mike and Al both have hats on, Al's a cabby hat and Mike's, well, idk what you call it, it's a Mike hat. Carl looks a lot like Beck in this photo, with his neckerchief included. Dennis has a dark blue t-shirt on.

Looks like a police whistle to me. Why, I have no idea... but that's what it looks like.

I was thinking a whistle, but I wasn't sure.
been wondering for years

The odd bit apparently sticking out of the side is his belt buckle. Otherwise I would have said a can opener.

About Van Dyke's Volvo: I e-mailed him and he said he is fairly sure it was a Volvo 123 GT (which by the way was a sportier version, with 115 hp!). He also mentioned that that car lasted for three years, after which he had a VW Bus, then a Rover sedan. These days he drives a Honda Hybrid.

Good work.

While looking again and again and again at LLVS, I remember see two sections that compare Smiley Smile to Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Was this common back when they were both released?

Some often want to compare Smile to Sgt. Pepper, but I think Smiley being compared to Piper is one of the ultimate compliments!


Are there any other references/comparings of Pink Floyd to the Beach Boys by articles/literature/interviews/matter of opinion?

Back when they found that new intro/mix of Why Do Fools Fall in Love, didn't they find a bunch of material regarding the Shut Down Vol. 2 era? If they did, has all that material surfaced/released. I feel like it's just that version of WDFFIL & a stereo cut of Don't Worry Baby for the summer love songs collection.

Are the lyrics for Sherry She Needs Me from 1965 or 1976?

[punkinhead]

BTW, how would we determine whether a question is significant enough to deserve its own thread?

I'm gonna take a stab and say 65.
My reasoning is that I believe Russ Titlemen wrote the song with Brian, along with Guess I'm Dumb
...but I could be totally wrong.

Odd how Brian could pull out lyrics from 10 plus years to use, must have been safely kept.

BTW, where's your quote/signature from Brian from?
I like it a whole lot.

It had tracking sessions as well, apparently, although I don't know for which songs

I heard "Denny's Drums" as well. Pass.

Dang, i was hoping for a 20 minute version of Caciaus Love vs. Sonny Wilson. 

Honestly, I'd love to hear some session work for the Warmth of the Sun tracking (very underrated and to my ears is underplayed) and some vocals only of Warmth would be nice too.
Heck, even Keep an Eye On Summer matieral would be enough for me, it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

Was the Honeys' song Come To Me written and/or produced by Murry?
Wait, was it a Honeys song or an American Spring song?
Was this around the sporadic time of Breakaway?

Tracking sessions and vocal overdubs for Why Do Fools Fall In Love, Don't Worry Baby, In The Parking Lot, Pom Pom Playgirl, also tracking sessions for This Car Of Mine and Denny's Drums. Three muti-track reels including outtakes and partial takes. The single track lead vocal version of DWB with Brian improvising with his voice on the extended ending or post fade is unbelievably cool.

Any chance we could hear it in the near future?

Arranged by Rick Henn, I think.

Rick refers to himself as "more or less the arranger".

Al will be making an announcement very shortly...

I'm gonna take a stab and say 65.
My reasoning is that I believe Russ Titlemen wrote the song with Brian, along with Guess I'm Dumb
...but I could be totally wrong.

Odd how Brian could pull out lyrics from 10 plus years to use, must have been safely kept.

BTW, where's your quote/signature from Brian from?
I like it a whole lot.

Good point regarding Titleman. But lines as "Sherry, don't hate her guts 'cause she took me away" sounds more like Adult Child/Love You era Brian to me.

Don't remember about the quote's origin other than it was from an article linked to from this board last fall.

I agree, the "hate her guts" line is very non-subtle (a curious trait of Brian during this era).
