55) Brian Farts Into His Piano: Take 8 Complete!!!

Seeing as that it won't be included in the boxed set and remains unbooted I decided to share the complete take 8 of "Brian Farts Into His Piano". A very unusual session indeed! It only makes one wonder what takes 1 - 7 sounded like and what Brian's intentions were with this quickly forgotten experiment.....

MP3 (1.72 Mb)

AVI (164.07 Mb)

54) Landylocked

A request for Jvct. There are several versions of these sessions out there. This one I only have in MP3. If you haven't heard it yet, well you need to. I love these Paley produced songs. So whacky. Highlight: "You're Still A Mystery".

Oh, well, HERE IT IS.

53) Good Vibrations From London TV Special (1972/06/03)

Sometime early last year a package was sent to me with this cd. The guy had recorded an FM broadcast of this television show on a reel to reel and said it was a significant upgrade of what existed before. When I listened to it, I was blown away. It's a very strange stereo mix you'll have to say!

This recording has not yet circulated so this is the first place to discover it. I did not include the other acts (Sha Na Na, Richie Havens, Melanie and Joe Cocker) as this is a BB blog. Here we go with 3 songs:

01) Do It Again (2:51)
02) Wild Honey (2:42)
03) Help Me Rhonda (3:29)

Total Time = 9:02 but some of the best 9 minutes you'll want to put on any of your 70's BB concert mixes!!!

Keep yer shoes on!

52) Miscellaneous Unbooted Tracks

Don't get too excited about this post. I found this on one of my old data dvds but wasn't moved that greatly. Some of it has found its way out on "Winds Of Change". Some are OOPSed songs from Friends album. I added the "hot" mix of "Rock And Roll Music" to make it a little more interesting. Here's the line-up:

01) Amusement Parks USA - Alternate Version (3:04)
02) Darlin' - With Harp Tag (2:56)
03) Match Point Of Our Love - Alt Version #1 (3:22)
04) Match Point Of Our Love - Alt Version #2 (3:21)

07) Pitter Patter - Alt Version (3:26)
08) Rock And Roll Music - "Hot" Alt Mix (2:57)

LISTEN HERE

I've been wondering about the track "I Don't Know". On January 12th, 1967 Dennis produced a session for a song of his with this title. According to Mr. Badman's research the line-up would have been this:
Bruce Johnston - keyboards
Carol Kaye - bass guitar
Tommy Morgan - harmonica
Bill Pitman - guitar
Lyle Ritz - upright bass
Carl Wilson - guitar
Dennis Wilson - drums
And what I hear on this recording are guitars, bass and drums (sounding much more like Hal Blaine to these ears). No harmonica or upright bass. So what in the hell is this? Is this even a BB production? Well...simply..."I don't know".....

Update: A very wise man had this to say:
OK - "I Don't Know" is the instrumental track to Bruce & Terry's "Dont Run Away", recorded 2/15/1966 at Columbia
... and "New orleans" is actually "New England Waltz", a Love You outtake recorded March 1977.
So there you have it then!

50) The Beach Boys Story (BBC 6)

I've really been enjoying this radio program that aired in 6 parts in June, 2011. Since I live in the States I never got to hear it until now. Fascinating interviews, interesting insights, etc. Well here it is! Each part is an hour long and is an MP3 (128 kbps) so not too hard on your hard drive:

PART 1: Beach Boards And Buggies
PART 2: On The Crest Of A Wave
PART 3: Pet Sounds
PART 4: SMiLE And Meditation
PART 5: Trying To Change The Label
PART 6: Making Waves

49) Brian Wilson on Howard Stern Show

Two shows to share with you here. The first is from February, 1989. The notes I got with it say this:

Brian Wilson
1989 02 xx
The Howard Stern Show
WXRK-FM NYC

FM > REEL TO REEL > WAV > FLAC

Brian Wilson stops by the Hollywood Roosevelt
Hotel to talk to Howard Stern during a week of shows
celebrating the Grammy awards.

I'm not a Wilson/Beach Boys fan but I saved this show
just because it was so wacky. (But then it's Brian Wilson
so what else would you expect?) For example:

Stern: You guys live together?
Wilson: No, not in the same house, no - in the same world, yeah.

Enjoy!

This comes in 3 parts:

PART 1
PART 2
PART 3

The second show is from July 24th, 1998 and is in a heavily compressed MP3 format (64 kbps) but it is all I have.

39) 1971

Make sure to check back on these (1970, 1971, etc.) because shows will be added or upgrades might be found. I don't have all of my collection with me at the moment so I can only share what I have here. If anybody has anything to contribute, please e-mail me and we'll set something up. This is an attempt to share freely what is available for each year. DJole is doing an excellent job on the 60's material so I thought I would take a stab at the 70's.

1971 is only represented by concerts so far but they are all great ones. Grab the FLAC wherever they are available because they are usually from a much better source than the older MP3s. And even when I put the MP3s together I often had more than one source to choose from. One concert here is taken from 3 different sources for the MP3 version although the FLAC version is still far superior and comes from a master reel according to the notes.

So, here is what we have to start with:

38) Summer In Paradise (US and UK Versions)

Since I have been getting so many requests for this collection of handy drink coasters, I thought I would share them here quickly before my 1971 project. Now you in your own home can do an A/B comparison of both in lossless FLAC!!! By the way, I almost did that once but after I made it through the US version I just simply didn't care about it anymore.

Anyway, I make this offering for historical purposes and for the fact that both of these cds are long out of print therefor hard to find. I'm sorry, I don't have any cover art just the audio files. And for those who are looking for my regular stuff, don't worry. Plenty more on the way.

P.S. If anybody objects to me posting this here, let me know and I will pull the plug immediately. If you notice I usually focus on rare concerts and stay away from commercially released product. However since I don't think they'll be re-issuing any of this anytime in the next 50 years I don't mind it here.

I'm putting up some music this time so everybody can catch up on the DVD's (more to come by the way!).

But here they all are along with plenty of bonus studio material from the same year.

Fixing the FLAC files, they will be back soon.

These are a bunch of odds and ends from the 1969-1971 era. Some tracks are different in MP3 format than FLAC (due to availability in my collection) so you might want to pick up both sets in order to have all of the tracks.
