With all of the awful things transpiring of late, I thought to myself where is my happy place. Then I remembered a post on FB by a gentleman that was able to go with Alan Boyd to see The Beach Boys tape vaults. Now, this would SO be my happy place right now.

Petsite - I'm very jealous.

That's a big tape box just for Sumahama! It's not like there were 50 versions of the song recorded.

What I would give to just get one clear look at the tape library. I suppose I'll have to be content with just peeking at this picture. I've made a game of seeing just how many titles I can spot. Sumahama, LA, Love You, Holland, Honking Down The Highway... I could be at this all day.

Ha! Sumahama, the original 16/24 multi track reel. I bet there's probably many good miles left on that tape, I'm sure that one hasn't deteriorated much from usage over the many years. (10 hrs later edit - just a 'joke' folks, just a little 'giggle' - not a favorite of mine)

If I saw those two shady characters, I think I'd call the police.

John had mentioned on the Sail On Podcast that yes, he was in the vaults checking tapes. He needed research for the Cool,Cool Water Episode. Honestly thus shows Alan and Mark are now aware of the Sail On Podcast. Could an interview show up in the future?

I blew up the photos and still it was hard to read most of the labels. But I did see these:
California Feelin'
Honkin' Down The Highway
Holland Fairy Tale
Looking At Tomorrow
Sumahama & Love You Tracks
My Favorite: The Beach Boys Live "SOMEWHERE"

Such cool pictures, didn’t realize the Honkin’ tape was also there but I did see Sumahama and Lookin’ At Tomorrow.
I’m very intrigued most especially about the Live “Somewhere” tape, whether or not it’s just a random place or possibly Somewhere Near Japan but I won’t jump the gun on that one yet
