if there's anything anyone else wants me to add, tell me!
the full version of rock & roll woman is somewhere on the internet but I don't gots it.

I had Landlocked and Adult Child at one time. Plus the extra tracks that were later released with Smiley Smile/Wild Honey.
does anyone have any recommendations on where I can get MP3s for some of the stuff on this thread...? a lot of the BB blogs out there seem to focus on, like, instrumental/alternate mixes of their 60s material, when mostly I'm interested in unreleased stuff from the late 60s on ...― The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (Shakey Mo Collier)
Same here.. I like the late 60s a lot.
Maybe there is some Beach Boys related stuff you can add iatee.. dennis wilson solo or somethingOther than that, good work so far, I don't recognize most of those tracks

hope that's a better copy of Carry Me Home than the one I have, which is crackly and muddy as hell (but damn what a great song)
that tracklisting looks great iatee, bunch of things I haven't heard before on there. you r teh coolest

How about Dennis's Sound of Free?
― fit and working again, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 16:45 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, that tracklisting looks great, iatee ... i'm always afraid of those massive beach boys bootleg comps, it's be nice to see an expert's picks.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 16:58 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah was thinking about this one
― iatee, Wednesday, 3 February 2010 17:24 (fourteen years ago) link
great song
― The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 3 February 2010 17:37 (fourteen years ago) link
It would be great if somebody could skim off the best outtakes for a bootleg/collection of high bitrate or lossless files. Or maybe point me to sucha thing if it exists. I love BB but their bootlegs are always such daunting, sprawling messes.
― ian zamboni, Thursday, 4 February 2010 21:56 (fourteen years ago) link
I have LANDLOCKED, btw.
yes that's what we've been discussing iatee is on the case...
― The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 4 February 2010 22:05 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah folks, if you know the name (or have an mp3) of a rarity/unreleased/semi-released song that you think should be on iatee's list please feel free to contribute

lossless?? a lot of the most interesting stuff is only available as crackly-ass acetate demos. if you want good sound quality, you should look at the officially released outtake albums (hawthorne, ca etc.)
but yeah I'm (still) putting together a collection of my favorite rare stuff, but I'm drawing from like a dozen sources and the sound quality is often...realllly bad.

someone call up Brian Wilson and tell him to get on this
― The Tommy Westphall Universe Hypothesis (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 5 February 2010 17:29 (fourteen years ago) link
this is basically gonna sound like a gbv album btw

np it was fun
btw there is no real logic to the tracklisting beyond "I think this is worth listening to at least once if you're a hardcore fan"
about 1/3 of this stuff is officially released as a bonus track or on an obscure compilation, but I still included them.
also I basically added stuff when I thought of it, which means the quality of the material (generally) goes downhill in the second half. stuff like 'marilyn rovell' and 'child of winter' = empty calories.
I also don't particularly love any of the cover songs. I guess in a way it's interesting to see how a beach boys treatment of a song generally falls flat w/ a classic pop song.
OTOH a lot of the scratchy demo stuff is genius I think. compare the 'almost summer' demo w/ this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wftYCgkwrUw
I didn't include that much pet sounds or smile stuff, but I do think that switching the two first lines of 'wouldn't it be nice' has a small and strange effect on the meaning (emphasizing 'living together' instead of 'if we were older') the alternate versions of 'god only knows' are also just 'what if' moments.
ps
the track 'this is love' should be 'this isn't love'
― iatee, Saturday, 6 February 2010 18:53 (fourteen years ago) link
This thread is making me realise I haven't been giving the Beach Boys enough love and attention recently. It also makes me realise that my quest for BB stuff isn't exhausted yet. That version of Big Sur... man... If anyone can help me get any of these tracks that would be amazing!
― dog latin, Saturday, 6 February 2010 19:03 (fourteen years ago) link
sorry, missed the links above. iatee you are the best!
― dog latin, Saturday, 6 February 2010 19:05 (fourteen years ago) link
np
but yeah that version of big sur is so much better than the original + probably the single best thing mike love's written (tho not sure who arranged it...) I was in big sur once and it came on my ipod's shuffle and it was pretty great.
hmm I think I included the version that transitions into 'all I wanna do'...I'm not sure why it does (whether it's the bootleg or someone did it) but it sounds pretty.
― iatee, Saturday, 6 February 2010 19:15 (fourteen years ago) link
other thoughts:
'good timin' w/ dennis might be my single favorite dw moment and is infinitely better than the original
there's no existing version of 'guess I'm dumb' w/ beach boys lyrics, only a glen campbell version which is still pretty good, but still a bb version woulda been a great track

god I really got in the beach boys nerd mindset this week. being obsessed w/ beach boys rarities is really frustrating because so much of it is so much better than their released output. here's my complete alternate universe post-smile bb where someone w/ some degree of sanity is in charge of what goes on the albums. imo these would alll be 5*/5* albums, and sunflower + surf's up would be up there w/ pet sounds in a not-that-challopsy sense.
(ps, all of these songs existed / were recorded in time for the albums)
Wild Honey
1. Aren't You Glad 2. I Was Made To Love Her (extended) 3. Darlin'4. Lonely Days 5. Let the Wind Blow6. Country Air 7. Can't Wait Too Long 8. I'd Love Just Once To See You 9. Their Hearts Were Full of Spring
Friends + Old Man River + I Went To Sleep - TM
20/20
1. We're Together Again2. Never Learn Not To Love3. Do It Again 4. I Can Hear Music5. Time To Get Alone6. A Time to Live In Dreams7. Be With Me8. Cabinessence 9. Our Prayer 10. Walk on By
Sunflower
1. Slip on Through2. Add Some Music to Your Day3. Lady4. Forever5. Celebrate the News 6. All I Wanna Do 7. Break Away8. This Whole World 9. Cool, Cool Water 10. It's About Time 11. Soulful Old Man Sunshine
Surf's Up
1. It's a New Day 2. Big Sur (alt) 3. Long Promised Road 4. Surf's Up5. A Day in the Life of a Tree6. Feel Flows7. Sound of Free8. 4th of July 9. Barbara10. Til I Die

No 'Loop de Loop' on Sunflower? I love that song.
― fit and working again, Monday, 8 February 2010 19:20 (fourteen years ago) link
my alternate history ends w/
carl and the passions - keep it the same
holland - + 'good timin' + 'we got love'
15 big ones - this album never happens
love you - keep it the same
(band breaks up)
this gives the beach boys a run of 10 amazing albums in a row! if you pretend like 'party' doesn't exist and delete the filler on today and summer days, it could be 12!
― iatee, Monday, 8 February 2010 19:21 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah I guess you can add loop de loop, but it'd be like the sloop john b of sunflower
