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

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?

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 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.

I have LANDLOCKED, btw.

yes that's what we've been discussing iatee is on the case...

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

ne1

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

this is basically gonna sound like a gbv album btw
