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

I am listening to it on repeat nonetheless

seriously rofling at the digital drumpad hits in "Brand New Start"

These lyrics really need to be typed up:

She once had a doggie named Wrinkles
Who went with her pigtails and freckles.
Just like a tisket and a tasket
He came one Christmas in a basket

He'd jump on her lap and would kiss her
When she'd go away he would miss her
He used to tag along beside her
A furry flop haired easy rider

Wrinkles , I'll see you on the other side
I couldn't believe it when they said you'd died
I couldn't keep myself from crying
I even almost felt like dying

Wrinkles, I know I'll get to see you again
I don't know exactly where or how or when
Such a good dog, I'm believing
You're happy up in doggy heaven

Wrinkles, though you're gone away
I feel sure that we will play some day
Just like in the good ole days
Just you and me (togetherrrrrr)

this whole album is WAY more wtf than the other one (and not really all that "country" either...?)

odd marijuana reference in "baby I'm a Changed Man"

I think the only song off this I am gonna ever listen to again is 'wrinkles'

More Brian Wilson:

'Black Widow' - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QJZQA2ZR

I only searched out this'un cause this guy http://www.earcandymag.com/rrcase-jazzwilson.htm hyped it up. It's actually pretty interesting.

More Paley sessions:

Soul Searchin' - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CLS0SP5K

Re-worked for one of his last solo albums, this version is better. Great song.

I wonder if that's the Andy Paley-sung version of "Soul Searchin'." It could be Carl. But it sure as hell isn't Brian.

I thought it was carl, I didn't even know there was an andy paley version?

The opening track of First Love sounds like "Black Cow" by Steely Dan without the irony.

Oh and thank god: http://www.addmoremusic.net/blog/2009/01/looking-back-with-love-mike-lo.html

whoah

was looking for a copy of Landlocked and found this - Cocaine Sessions is pretty out there

yeah imo cocaine sessions is interesting only as historical document, but as far as whoa-wilsons-are-crazy-documents go, it's up there

sweeet

really amazing how much of this stuff there is. I guess we'll have to wait til they're all dead (esp. Mike Love) to see most of it get an official release

big fan of that one

is that version different from the one on the box set? cuz it seems better to me somehow

I don't believe so?

yeah afaik there's only one version

also wikipedia says

'The song was written in 1970 as a veiled comment on the alleged suppression of the NY Times by the US government. Originally intended for the 1971 Surf's Up album, it was pulled by Dennis after an argument with brother Carl over sequencing the album.'

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 ...

http://linear-zap-music.blogspot.com/

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?

http://beachboysboots.blogspot.com/

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...)

http://www.btinternet.com/~bellagio/unreleased.html

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
