Yeah, a disco remake of "Wooo-woooo! Wooo-wooo! Wonderful" - that would be something  Evil

HOLY CRAP! Extremely interesting early demo of "Going Home":

Who thought he could still write arrangements like this? Absolutely amazing. I have a lot more hope for that "Pleasure Island" concept now.


This is from the Wilson-Paley-Sessions and probably has nothing to do with "Going home" on TLOS. Cool song though

Love was superb, a chance to revisit familiar work in a fresh light.

So we don't necessarily need another Pet Sounds... do we? How many versions have each of us here got? I've got an original 66 release, four other vinyl copies, at least five or 6 CD issues, a couple of 5.1 issues, the box set, two SoT boxes of outtakes, and a mass of other booted session stuff.

I'll bet most of us here have a similar hoard; I don't think another would go amiss, especially one that allows us to revisit the same material from a fresh perspective.

That said, SMiLE would be a much more suitable candidate.

That said, that said, I don't think it'll happen at the hands of the Martins. Suspect that if it ever does happen, it'll be Darian Sahanaja and Mark Linnet, with a over by Mark London. And they're fresh interpretation might not really be fresh enough, as they're too close and too familiar with the original work.

Thinking about it, it might be better if Bruce Johnston did the remix, maybe  even a rerecording along the lines of Pipeline, Deirdre etc from Going Public. Class!

Wot he said. I would call that effort: 'Hate'. I would.

the Beach Boys kind of did this sort of thing years ago with those medleys they released.

That friggin' 45 was the only Beach Boys record my dad owned. To this day, I still expect to hear Help Me Rhonda segue out of Good Vibrations.

You poor thing, you... if I were you I would sue my Dad Mike-Love style for a princely sum... for imposing mental damage onto you that won't go away for the rest of your life and will even retrogradely discolor all your memories from the time prior to being exposed to that record... so your whole life should be materially reimbursed to you.

Wow, what a Dick.

 Grin Yup. I am a Bank Dick. And a sideshow operator. And a film director. And a shop owner. And the father of a drunkard son in a cabin. And a dentist.

Huh ? What are you on about - it was recorded 2/15/66.

Any requests?

Scott


Hey Scott -- any chance of working up "Pacific Ocean Blues"?  Great way of acknowledging Dennis without straying too far from the general Beach Boys topics -- plus, Mike's environmental lyrics are still pretty sharp even now.  And of course it's funky as all hell...

Cheers,
Jon Blum

The scene with Al and Dennis at the store is on YouTube WITH SOUND!

Yeah, I have seen Dennis and Al shopping on youtube with sound. I can't check from work if it is still up there though. It was pretty cool to have that kind of footage though. I proper release would be amazing!

No , I don't approve of a 'Love' style remix of PS.

The Beatles back catalogue is actually being remastered right now, but as mentioned earler no bonus tracks whatsoever will be issued.

Quite, Pet Sounds doesn't need messing around with, though a more contemporary (but not over-compressed) mastering job might be interesting.


We really don't need another reissue of Pet Sounds...

Heartical Don, that's such an excellent point.

The issue, such as there has ever been an issue, is a simple one. Brian is mentally ill. Because that doesn't present as any other illness or disability would (a pianist missing an arm would only be able to play with one hand, for instance), people so often mistrust him and the people around him.

I think, honestly, everyone is trying their best. Does greed and manipulation enter the picture? Maybe at times and with certain people. They enter the picture in virtually all human affairs. But I have always been inclined to give BW and those around him the benefit of the doubt. Even Landy, at certain points. It's an imperfect situation, filled with imperfect people. The result will likely be imperfect.

I think that a good rockin version of "Heroes & Villains" a la 1973's "In Concert" would be great! 

"A Dollar Don't Buy a Nickel" [Smiley Smile Message Board]

Here's a kind of almost-blues I wrote and recorded today, a little bit of a joke inspired by the economic situation. It was quickly done, and recorded mostly live (obviously not the harmony vocal). "A Dollar Don't Buy a Nickel": http://www.sendspace.com/file/hgvuc0

I believe that's what they call grade inflation.

Re: Postcard From California [Smiley Smile Message Board]

It's never going to come out. It's inappropriate music. The tapes have been destroyed.

I wanted to make a joke about a song causing a building near where Al lives to burn down, but it probably wouldn't be funny considering there were actual wildfires in Big Sur within the past year.
