Sloop John B The Beach Boys (WIDE STEREO Remix)

This is the complete version of Sloop John B remixed in -Wide stereo- Sound. This mix features Billy Strange on 12 string guitar that is buried in both mono and conventional stereo mixes. Remixed from the ADD final mix

[@strangejerry]

There seems to be a lot of stories that aren't true. I was the son that was there at United Western Studios late December 1965. I was 10yrs old. I went with my dad and watched him mix a Nancy Sinatra song he had been working on. I met Loren Green, the father from the TV show “Bonanza.” It was one of my favorite westerns on TV, and starred Michael Landon, Dan Blocker, Pernell Roberts, and Loren Green. Although it was real exciting meeting Mr. Green, I was a little freaked out when I saw that he was bald. Up until that day had never realized that any men wore wigs. I'm sure after that there must been more than a few men who thought to themselves, why is this weird kid staring at my head? As we were leaving and walking to the car a man screamed Billy. It was Brian Wilson from the Beach boys. My dad had played guitar on their new album called “Pet Sounds” and he wanted to know if my dad could play a session while he was there. He wanted dad to try "Sloop John B" a new way. I carried in dad’s 12 string Mosrite from the car. He originally used a Gibson 12 string that Brain bought him. There I was sitting in on a recording session with the Beach boys as my dad played guitar on the song “Sloop John B.” This was a great day. After the session, they came out to show my dad and I a couple of their new cars. In the parking lot were two of the coolest cars I've ever seen. A Brown Aston Martin DB5 and a red Jaguar XKE roadster. I don’t remember whose car was whose but that was the day I became a car nut. I don't think dad even remembered that day until I reminded him. But it was a very special day to me!

Jerry Strange fantastic story

[@jerryz2541]

Interesting story. Mosrites are great guitars...

[@cade9173]

That’s dope af

[@capitolemiproducer]

Jerry I'm sorry I just noticed this, but I want you to know I mixed this with your dad in mind. On both mono and stereo mixes Billy is somewhat buried in the mix. I found out the if you get the Stack O Tracks version of this song, invert one channel, and play it in mono, only one thing comes out, your dad's 12 string. With that said, At 1:11 your dad is on the right channel and he can be heard. I love his 12 string in this tune.

[@darrellgray8473]

This song reminds me of a better time in my life , Brian Wilson was way beyond a genius in music

[@rioblancoman]

So true. Genius. Heard every note, harmony and beat in his head. Phenomenal.

[@waynejohanson1083]

Pet Sounds proved his musical genius.

[@michaelpage1030]

This is why The Beatles were so enamored with them. They were constantly attempting to capture that arrangement, that inimitable sound. BB were the absolute best...listen to their take on California Dreamin...stunning.

[@garyhinds1627]

Great mix from a great composer.....a big shout out to Al Jardine for pitching this to Brian. He clearly knew that Brian could turn this into a classic.

Can't get enough of hearing it let me hear it again can't get enough let's go

[@bethdudley8563]

This is how the radio version should have sounded. Billy Strange's 12 string guitar part is outstanding, too bad it was buried in the original mix. Great job, King of Sync.

Brian Wilson was a pure genius (and still with us). When Pet Sounds hit the air, at that moment, Brian Wilson became the greatest writer and musician in the world.

McCartney stated that when he heard Pet Sounds he thought it was the best album he ever heard and said that they (the beatles) had to really step-up their game. from that came Sargent Pepper check this out www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-classic-beach-boys-album-paul-mccartney-said-inspired-sgt-peppers.html/

Is the sleeve on the screen with "The Wrecking Crew" a humorous mockup or was it a version of the album sleeve that actually was sold to the public? Of course, it really was The Wrecking Crew who played all the instruments on the album. Wilson's ideas and The Wrecking Crew's playing.

[@jaggass]

How did Brian cope with voices in his head during that time?

[@senorxrey6429]

this is almost a masterpiece! My only improvement would be to bring up the instrumentals for the first minute because the lead vocal is too up front at first. I also like the longer length, too. Great work you're doing!

[@fbnflaviusbroadcastingnetw6786]

Señor XREY I would have ducked each track separately. I do this to my songs. On ducking, you can choose the track for center background or lead. I individually choose the lead for each track to make sure you hear it. But I can use up to 12 tracks and assemble them by arrangement. Keeping it in order. I love GarageBand!

[@antonymscalia3924]

+Jimmy K Mike Love was as useful to the Beach Boys as a backpocket on a T-shirt. He had next to nothing to contribute to "Pet Sounds" other than to inspire the album name by his snide remark about Brian's majestic genius. Mike Love could never have existed and the Beach Boys would have still been legendary.
