So a roomful of equipment supplanted by a software programme.
Fascinating – just watched it the whiole way through.
– how much unreleased stuff there is
– how much more stuff will be released to get copyright protection
– how could the studio throw out the final 8 track master of Good Vibrations, one of the most important songs in the history of popular music.
I told you it wasn’t dull!
Well…this was timely, thanks! I will be posting a review of the upcoming Feel Flows set here in a couple of weeks, which I have just started drafting out, so this confirms some things I am writing which were suppositions.
I love this stuff….
The ‘Feel Flows’ will be the box set of the year and there have been some good ‘uns up to now and more on the way.
The Sunflower to Surf’s Up was probably the most fertile musical period in the existence of The Beach Boys both in the studio and live. Denis Wilson especially was a revelation and excelled with his songwriting.
Some of these songs, not just DW’s, send shivers down my spine and bring tears of joy to me.
The most fertile in their existence? No. The most fertile without Brian? Certainly.
Actually, I’m with our man from Wigan on this. Brian had the classic pop nous, but the added textures provided by the others having to step up to the mark were exemplary, especially Chaplin and Fataar.

The great thing about the BBs during their 65 to 75 peak is that even their odd commercial misfire contains more than its fair share of gems
Hello, @Baron-Harkonnen.
Which other box sets released this year are worth exploring?
Counting the days until my two-disc version drops through the letterbox
