Sloop John B - The Beach Boys - Long version Fan Remix

[@donpetty3795]

I'm 63 and glad to be alive today because now i can listen to this song over an over on my phone instead of picking up the needle and replacing it on the record player back in the day,such a unique sound that can never be replaced with what's out there now...

[@BrendanBrady-rg5bo]

Yes, great tune unique

[@bullmoose77]

Thats awesome, but how did you get to hear it before it's 1966 release?

[@markdarley3825]

Really great, honesty, but how many fans know that this is a sea chanty dating back to at least 1903 in the Bahamas? The Beach Boys turned it into great instrumental.

[@kimmer6]

I worked as a Field Engineer for General Electric in some pretty harsh environments all over the world. Often, I was the only one who spoke English. It was lonely, the food was terrible, flying insects bigger than large mice attacked at night, and the snakes could kill you just by staring at you. I played this song on my Walkman cassette player until the batteries ran out. 40+ years later, Home is the best place to ever be.

Gone 53 years ago. My dad was USN in WWII. I wanted to join the Navy Sub Service. He threw the recruiter out of our living room and that ended that.

I've been a Beach Boys fan for over 40 years and had never heard this extended version of Sloop John B until now. It is without a doubt one of the best instrumentals I've ever heard. I've listened to it over and over and it just gets better. The harmony's, the beauty of the instruments and the way it flows is simply a masterpiece. Great work Brian Wilson and crew.

The song was actually adapted from a folk song Hoist John B Sail the Beach Boys gave it their own style and released it as The Sloop John B.....

[@jackmandu]

Yep, it’s a Bahamian folk song first published in 1916. It was recorded by The Weavers in 1950 and The Kingston Trio in 1958 before The Beach Boys did their cover in 1966.

[@rogerruhle4730]

For some reason this great Beach Boys hit never got the recognition it deserved.

[@elainecroteau2902]

I will always think of my daddy whenever I hear this song. He was a Greek immigrant who came to this country when he was 8 years old. We were in our car when this song came on the radio. He asked me, "why did he take someone else's corn"!!! xoxoxoxoxo

And i also think that K.T. did A Very Good Year first......very prescient of them, because having other groups want to cover their songs is, in itself, a huge complement.

I started getting interested in popular music around 1968 when I was 10. I started playing the clarinet a year earlier. But then I started listening to AM radio. I don't remember the boys oy summer being on much, then. But a couple of years later, when I went from records to cassettes, I got a greatest hits cassette of the Beach Boys. They've been in my music library ever since. Since I was still in school at that time, one of my favorites was In My School.

The twelve string is a beautiful part of this song but to be fair it’s just one part of the genius choice of instruments and session musicians that Brian Wilson put together. Absolutely genius!

[@veg4ev]

@@MrMistrEnigma BUT the 12 string Exemplified the music that made the song

One of the greatest tune , with Good Vibrations, Do it again, of this greatest group among others. As I mentioned in other previous comments the remix extended versions of the Boys are often the best, and much enjoyable due to the research of the highest quality of sounds, harmony, melody and thus composition. Beach Boys = standard of the highest quality in music many decades after, and to come. Thanks so much to you great Boys of the Beach.
