| Re: HMV - POB is on it's way!? [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 13 Jun 2008 06:23 AM CDT Woohoo! Got it! The only copy they had, and therefor probably the only copy in town!  D-Day has come!! |
| Re: HMV - POB is on it's way!? [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 13 Jun 2008 04:50 AM CDT I ordered my copies of both the 2cd and 3LP at KingKong Records (Leeuwarden). CD costs €20,- the 3LP €36 something. So that 50 Euro's is a pure rip-off... Hmmm... When I asked the guy behind the counter to order it, I looked on his screen with him and that was actually the price on his wholesale price list... So I know he wasn't ripping me off... But maybe he should look for a different distributor then... |

| Posted: 12 Jun 2008 11:36 PM CDT You know, If you lined up EVERY SINGLE PERSON Brian ever knew from the years 1966-1967, I bet we'd discover at least one or two tapes that nobody has ever heard. I'm reminded of a Beatles story. In 1994, George Martin(The Beatles' producer) found an acetate of an alternate take of "Please Please Me"...IN HIS CLOSET! That is probably the most annoying thing about "lost tapes". There are probably tapes right under people's noses that are gathering dust, forgotten over the course of 40+ years. |

| Re: A couple of American Spring questions... [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 12 Jun 2008 09:29 PM CDT Do you mean the Turn On Your Radio line? It sounds like Mike or more probably Sandler. Sandler can be heard on Thinkin About My Baby pretty clear. |

| Re: HMV - POB is on it's way!? [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 12 Jun 2008 08:36 PM CDT Down here in Australia I have left it to the last to see if it will be released locally - checked with a few stores last week and nobody knows anything about it, trolling the net I have found out that the Sony Legacy series has not be released here and has to be specially ordered on USA import. Off to Amazon I go!! |
| Re: A couple of American Spring questions... [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 12 Jun 2008 08:07 PM CDT Quote Not sure where I heard this, but in recent years a fan brought the American Spring album to one of Brian's signings. Brian asked if he could have it. I guess he doesn't have a copy. Classic! Would love to hear BW & company do "Sweet Mountain," but I've got about 100 rarities that I dream of BW playing... |

| Re: A couple of American Spring questions... [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 12 Jun 2008 07:37 PM CDT Quote Another question, has Brian said anything about the American Spring project in recent years (or, for that matter, after it's release)? Shortly after the release of the Spring album in May 1972, I was listening to the Wolfman Jack show on KDAY, Los Angeles, (live, not on tape or syndicated at that time) when Brian Wilson called in. He sounded like a wide-eyed little kid and, when referring to the Spring album, kept repeating, "It's better than Pet Sounds, Wolfman." |

| Re: A couple of American Spring questions... [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 12 Jun 2008 07:24 PM CDT Quote I don't think either Marilyn or Diane sing on pitch; they sing slightly flat. Their voices are also thin, weak, and nasal. I absolutely love Marilyn and Diane's singing on the Spring album. Many of the songs on that album have been absolute favorites of mine since the album's release in 1972. The expanded 1988 CD added two more songs that I totally enjoy. When I mentioned to Marilyn (during the Wilson-Philips days) that I thought Carnie sounded a lot like her, she agreed, and said she thought Wendy sounded a lot like Brian. |
| Re: Vocals on \ [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 12 Jun 2008 07:12 PM CDT On youtube there used to be a short audio clip of Brian doing some American Spring promotion in 1972 or '73 and while he sounds rather exhausted and shy on it, his voice still has its natural sweetness to it. If that's the famed Spring promo tape, early November 1971. It was recorded pretty late at night after a session so that's why they sound a bit tired. I like it though how loose it is, it gives you a view of Brian's personality before it really changed. Seemed like a funny guy, a little shy |
