This is the thread where we talk about great Beach Boys+BW unreleased/demo/semi-released songs

my alternate reality version of Surf's Up:

Long Promised Road
Feel Flows
A Day in the Life of a Tree
Til I Die
Surf's Up
Big Sur (alt version)
4th of July
Lady
Loop de Loop

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 ...

this dude has a lot, there are some similar blogs out there

I found a lot of stuff off soulseek some years ago, my bb mp3 collection is pretty messy though. if you know what you're looking for you can find it on some mp3 blog or on soulseek. looking for anything in particular?

some of the dl links are dead here, some aren't

looking for anything in particular?

I'm not really sure - primarily I'm just curious about 70s outtakes, stuff that was left off albums for whatever reason. I already have Landlocked (which is great) and the Brian Wilson "Adult Child" stuff - but judging from these youtube clips and various blogs there's more out there. I just dunno if it's ever been collected under one title or if there's just bits here and there or what. I do not, for example, have a decent MP3 of 4th of July (which appears to have only been released on the BB's box set? I ain't dl'ing that whole thing just for one song)

there def isn't one title, just a ton of random amateur collections of 20 songs. see: http://bwfan0.tripod.com/id3.html - super frustrating.

4th of july is pretty easily soulseekable...can just get the album track from someone who has the box set. (I'd send it to you but I don't have it on this computer...)

I linked this upthread, but it's imo the best source of info on that era of beach boys unreleased material. if something there looks interesting, look for a bootleg (or ask me) that has it. but just downloading a random one (even 'landlocked' - which as that page explains, doesn't really mean anything) is probably just gonna result in a bunch of unassorted songs. I wish somebody had streamlined this by now.

yeah, I mean I have a bunch of this stuff but its all so disorganized and quality varies highly...

There's a torrent file out there with a huge amount of unreleased/alternative Beach Boys files, and with utorrent or whatever you can pick whatever individual files you want to download. But, yeah, there's no organization really.

yeahhh that's the way it is

I mean the bbs have a really complex history (and one that nobody seems to agree on) and who knows how some of this bootleg material ever saw the day of light (and how much hasn't)... so a streamlined collection w/ all of the songs is sorta unrealistic. but yeah, one day?

hmm, would be interested in that torrent myself

v curious about the Fred Vail country album and Dennis "Poops/Hubba-Bubba" entries

x-posts

pretty sure those have not yet surfaced shakey :(

xxpost I can't remember exactly where it was but I'll check later and let you know.

can someone, maybe you shakey, upload a bunch of songs to divshare or something? divshare can hold a 200mb zip file

I don't really have that much, would kinda defer to iatee here who sounds like he has the deeper collection - I have Landlocked (which is easy to find) and a few other random things. honestly kinda annoyed that I lost some of the stuff I used to have like Lei'd in Hawaii and the studio version of We Got Love...

but yeah I'm happy to upload whatever/wherever...unfamiliar with divshare tho

duders it's all about the SIXTEEN VOLUMES of "journals."

you know what song i like? that dennis wilson single with the captain from captain and tenille. the one with the primitive drum machine sound. "lady."

a search for journals brought up this crazy list of bb bootlegs:
http://www.surfermoon.com/boots.shtml

lorax, I'll put together some sort of mix tonight

otm about lady

fwiw the handful of tracks I am really missing right now are:

- 4th of July
- We Got Love + Out in the Country (Holland outtakes, I think?)
- With a Little Help From my Friends (from Lei'd in Hawaii...?)
- I'm Going Your Way
- Stevie

oh Looking Down the Coast too!

ya I got all of those except 'out in the country'...will put them on the comp

its on Dumb Angel Vol 3, apparently...?

in case anybody needs it, i've got "adult child" up over yonder: http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/308993348/surfs-up-for-our-last-lost-album-well-go-back
it's scary!

xp

don't think I've heard the song, gonna try and find it tho

the big band/jazz arrangements pervading Adult Child are really inexplicable

I mean really its not a style that plays to any of Brian's (or the other Boys') strengths, in a career full of left turns this one always stands out to me as the most wrong-headed.

found out in the country...remember hearing this back in the day. it's pretty good!

you're adorable, iatee. will you marry me?

yeah the Chapin/Fataar-era and material is underrated I think. The Flame album that Carl produced is fucking fantastic (maybe I will post it)

for example:

http://beatpatrol.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/the-flame-see-the-light-1970/

heavy, heavy McCartney influence, can totally see why Carl was into them

^^^
anyone have a complete version of this?

oops, it's them covering rock & roll woman

the lolz never stop with Mike Love...

(erm but no I've never heard/heard of that cover before)

I love The Flame

I found out about them when I was trying to figure out who sang lead on "Sail On Sailor" and I was like. wait, Blondie who? WTF?

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 something
Other 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?

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.

How about Dennis's Sound of Free?

yeah was thinking about this one

great song

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.
