Beach Boys SMILE Bootlegs S/D C/D etc

Like, BW may have a deal that says "anything you write and release is published by X" -- but then, he may also have a deal that says "anything you write and release for the Beach Boys is published by Y", and if any of those songs, or even just parts of them were performed/released by the Beach Boys, it may be a matter of multiple people claiming ownership.

publishing is such a racket

"Where Is She?" - Another sweet Wilson ballad from the Sunflower/Surf's Up sessions, which saw release on last year's Made in California box.

This is a deeply uncomfortable rewrite of "She's Leaving Home."

A suite of the various times when Brian has incorporated the so-called "Shortenin' Bread" riff in his compositions and others. Descriptions in text with more detailed descriptions here:
00:00-00:35 Original "Shortenin' Bread." Unreleased, intended for the Adult/Child release: track, bvs and bass vocal are from 1973, Carl's lead overdubbed in 1977.
00:35-01:14 "Shortenin' Bread" that was released on the L.A. Light album in 1979. It is unknown if Brian was involved with this version, it is known that Carl sings the lead and Dennis is on the bass vocal.
01:56-02:10 Section from Brian's b-side "Too Much Sugar" from 1987, b-side to the "Let's Go To Heaven in My Car" single from the film Police Academy 4. One of my personal least-favorite BW songs.
02:10-02:25 Section from "Walkin' the Line" from Brian's very good 1988 self-titled solo album.
02:25-04:16 The majority of "Metal Beach" an epic (mostly) instrumental tune that Brian wrote in collaboration with Paul Schaffer and Dick Dale for Schaffer's Coast to Coast in 1989. Note Steve Douglas on saxophone (one of Brian's main call instrumentalists in the 60s) and Eugene E. Landy on the titular "metal beach."
04:17-04:59 The coda to a collaboration with Rob Wasserman and Carnie Wilson called "Bells of Madness" for Wasserman's trio album. Released in February of 1994.
05:00-06:20 The "Bread" relevant portions of Brian's cover of "Proud Mary" from 1992. Recorded with Don Was, this version is unreleased and Brian recorded a new version in 2006 which, in addition to being unbooted, has yet to see release. Those that have heard it say it is much better than this version, though I think the 1992 "Mary" is nothing to snoot at.
06:20-06:37 A section of "South American," a collaboration with Jimmy Buffett and ex-wrestler Joe Thomas from Brian's Imagination album. Note, in addition to the ever-present saxophone, Jimmy's backing vocal.
06:37-07:28 The tag to "No Wrong Notes in Heaven" a very groovy song written by Scott Bennet of Brian's band, with some input from Brian (no prizes on what his contribution is) released under the band name "The Dotted Line." Nick Walusko and Jeff Foskett from Brian's band also appear on this recording.
07:28 to end. The "Bread" portions of "Goin' Home," from Brian's newest (and best) solo album That Lucky Old Sun.

Where's the love for "Shortnin' Bread"?
