Thank you!

Thanks

I wonder why “Can’t Waiit Too Long” was abandoned both on later bootlegs as well as on the 2011 ‘official’ release? That’s a great song.

​@@Shikta-poobah67 because it's not a Smile song

[@Shikta-poobah67]

@@milwaukeeskosher Strange that it’s included in the second edition ‘85 bootleg of SMiLE. It sure sounds like a good fit with the rest of the SMiLE material.

[@erikhurtado5125]

... definitely SMILE is more than an 'unreleased album' , it has become The Endless Rabbit Hole of Music History. In the 2000s my girlfriend then gifted me a bootleg vinyl from 'Surfin Records' and since then I'm still discovering so many different sessions and mixes, and always SURPRISING. THANKS BRIAN 😇😇😇

[@cabinessence_timely_hello]

Thinking endlessly about SMiLE these last few days made me think how insane of a genius Brian really is, and how is sad that the abuse of drugs and alchool can rob a person of their mind's sparkle. Love You, his 1988 debut album, and, of course, the finalized and "stitched up from patches" masterpiece Brian Wilson presents SMiLE, are all proof that Brian never completely lost his brightness in the midst of his crazyness, but all of that waves of raging sea made an impact, and we will always live in a world where his full potential was lost. Another sadden example of what Floyd meant with Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

@@cabinessence_timely_hello ...and he not only experienced that abuse of drugs; being a 'Dumb Angel' even suffered the abuse and manipulation from family, Mike Love, Eugene Landy etc. Happy to see how he has reached a peaceful longevity. 🙏

[@Shikta-poobah67]

@@erikhurtado5125Yeah, I think a lot of the true reasons Brian never reached his full potential had less to do with drugs than it did with being manipulated and held back by all the domineering people in his life (Mike Love, Landy, Murry, etc). I’ve noticed that insanely creative and talented people like Brian and Syd Barrett tend to also be hypersensitive to outside influences, and unfortunately that often includes negative influences from those who would wish to use and control them. I’m just glad that he finally broke free of all that negativity in the 90’s and forward.

[@Burymeing0ld]

I can’t even begin to explain or comprehend the last 43 minutes and 21 seconds of music I had just heard. To say this would’ve revolutionized pop music is an understatement and truly a tragedy it wasn’t finished.

Blame the other Beach Boys & Capitol records who didn't believe in Brian's vision.

This version of good vibrations is my favorite. It sounds so much darker and almost spookier.

[@danielfleming9630]

Never heard it before, definitely feels that way

[@GraceHill27]

Sounds like a contemporary Electronic song

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Yeah, best version I’ve ever heard. The theremin is a lot more spooky and up front. Good stuff.

[@dylmoon1130]

@@Shikta-poobah67 totally. Adds a way eerier vibe. And the plucked baseline sounds different on this one. It’s more noticeable. Groovier.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

@@dylmoon1130Everything about this version except for the lack of a flowing lead vocal track is superior to just about every other version of GV I’ve ever heard. What few lyrics that exist here are obviously the ‘other’ lyrics that appear on the “Brian Wilson Presents” version from 2004. My guess is that those lyrics were far from completely written at the time of this recording. I also love that fuzz bass in the breakdown towards the end. That caught me off guard (in the best possible way).

[@luckykennedy7364]

The audio quality is a massive improvement over the first bootleg.

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Agreed. This one’s a lot more fully realized.

[@jsmith5840]

I recommend the 2002 Odeon digipack for the best bootleg! I own it, and it's incredible, it's all up on KZbin I think...

[@nicorion-m9j]

[@Shikta-poobah67]

Wow, this version of Good Vibrations is easily the best one I’ve ever heard. The theremin is a lot more… ‘out there’ and creepy (that’s meant as a compliment), and the fuzz bass in the breakdown is a nice touch. I’ll be returning here frequently just for GV alone.

[@SandyDoor073]

Thank you for uploading this!

[@NaotoTheZombie]

I think Vegetables on this album isn't by the Beach Boys, but by Laughing Gravy (Dean Torrence)

[@luckykennedy7364]

Correct, but Brian produced it.

[@andknuckles101]

Not sure if i prefer this one or the original

[@luckykennedy7364]

I mean we could actually hear the songs in this version.

[@evanescence2721]

Well let's see, the only genuine Smile-era tracks the 1st boot had on it were Do You Dig Worms, Barnyard, You Are My Sunshine/Old Master Painter, Been Way Too Long, Tones, Mrs. O'Leary's Cow + Here Come De Honeydew Man from Porgy & Bess masquerading as Holidays (which was actually pretty cool)), whereas this one added the original, revelatory, indispensable Smile versions of Wind Chimes, Wonderful, Child Is the Father of the Man, and was in far superior fidelity, so I don't think it's a very difficult question to answer.

[@NOWtheband]

ok

[@reedwilliams1868]

Does anyone know what this version of vege-tables is called in the Smile Sessions? It sounds like a cover by another artist.

[@starbond6]

Laughing Gravy did a cover in 1967. Which basically sounds a mix between the SMILE and Smiley Smile version of the song

[@HansonZhang-ri2lj]

@@starbond6 So this version of Vega-Tables is not played by The Beach Boys? Why would they even include it in the first place?

[@starbond6]

@@HansonZhang-ri2lj Back then they had limited access to what Smile wouldve been, and that version sounds like a hybrid between the Smile version and the Smiley Smile version so it was the closest thing you had

[@NOWtheband]

@@HansonZhang-ri2lj - It's a project of Dean Torrance and I have read that Brian Wilson is involved in this version but I haven't read that in any place other than on the internet, so make of that what you will. I guess it's included because of Torrance's close connection with The Boys and also because his version was released so soon after the Smile/Smiley Smile era (on the label of the single it even says "Song from the album Smiley Smile")
