Which Beach Boys are on Don't Worry Baby with the Everly Brothers? Given it was recorded in 1988, I'm thinking Carl, Mike, Alan & Bruce.

I recall reading several years ago that 'Smiley Smile' tracks were used in some sort of rehab setting (don't remember if substance, physical rehab, or something else) and it was helpful for patients. Can't remember the source or much about it. Anyone know what I'm referring to?

Can't remember the source or much about it. Anyone know what I'm referring to? I recall that too... in Texas, I think. And a quick Google reveals this: Carl Wilson told the NME in 1970: "In Fort Worth, Texas, there is a drug clinic which takes people off the streets and helps them get over bad LSD trips. They don't use any traditional medical treatment whatsoever. All they do is play the patient our Smiley Smile album and apparently this acts as a soothing remedy which relaxes them and helps them to recover completely from their trip."

I will do some more digging on this. I'd be very curious to learn more details.

During the second verse of 'California Girls' when the background vocals come in, is there any place to find those vocals isolated? I remember that I could hear them isolated for just a few seconds at the beginning of the Endless Harmony documentary.

I remember that I could hear them isolated for just a few seconds at the beginning of the Endless Harmony documentary. Good Vibrations box set- "California Girls (Vocals)". The mix is instuments left channel, vocals right channel so if you adjust your settings you get the isolated vocals. Related question: Why are there no "Stack-o-vocals" mixes of any of the SD(ASN!) tracks?

That's actually all vocals. west is specifically asking about the *background* vocals -- that is, *just* the "oo-wah" parts etc.

With some of the later albums which have autotune on the vocals, would it be possible for them to be remixed without autotune? My understanding is that autotune is an effect applied to a vocal performance after recording. Do the unaltered vocal takes of, say, the That's Why God Made the Radio album still exist on a hard drive somewhere? I don't know anything about music production so I may be way off here.
I don't expect any such remixes to happen any time soon, if ever, I'm just curious.

You are correct, so yes, technically there should be "tapes" - OK, files - of the original performance, and I for one would love to hear how "From There To Back Again" sounded before it turned into RoboAl. That said, I'm pretty certain there are some vocal takes we really don't need to hear unvarnished.

As it stands, I still consider it Al's finest moment in his Beach Boys career.

There IS one for "California Girls" -- disc 5 of the 1993 Good Vibrations has it. There's also one for "And Your Dream Comes True."
BTW, a little trick you can do in the mean time is, if you have the appropriate Unsurpassed Masters "Dutch import" CDs, you can make yourself a "stack-o-vocals" mix of a few songs ("Amusement Parks USA" with the alternate vocals and "The Girl From New York City" come to mind) by applying the correct phasing effects with your favorite audio editor.

Yeah I know about the California Girls one as I mentioned it in an earlier post? However it's not really a cappella and also doesn't answer my question which I guess I need to rephrase as "why are there no true a cappella mixes of the SD(ASN!) tracks?"

You have it mixed up with the other tracks on that disc which are the Vocal/Instrumental hard panned tracks.

I have indeed mixed them up, thank you for the correction and this is a clear indicator that a thorough re-listen of the GV boxset is in order.

For some reason they skipped the Summer Days/Summer Nights archival and went with Chicago Live '65 and the Party album for the '65 comp. Excellent question and I think Linett and Boyd oughta be asked about it. There's a lot of good tracks on that album and those vocal only/track only sessions and studio chatter would be real interesting. I think we need to inquire within, unless somebody has the answer.

It has been asked on 'Beach Boys Talk', and it's not a question of whether they 'want' to do it, of course they do! They are like us and want the hard copy titles as well you can hold in your hand, it just seems it's just back to convincing the 'Tower' that it's a viable thing to do. With the success of recent releases, maybe it'll be a 'rainy day' project considering the reissue stages are still in the 1975 period and ongoing, which was still a pretty busy phase of their recording career. It's always good to throw the reminder around though, just to keep it up on top of the list of 'things to do'. Mark? Alan? You listenin'?

It's a glaring omission to the copyright extension releases. 50 years was up in 2015.

Just a random question concerning the sale of Sea of Tunes. I'm wondering about the timing of Murry shopping the catalog around, and writing 'Break Away' with Brian. With how close those two events are together, I begin to wonder why Murry was so involved with the single. Was he already trying to sale the catalog, and his thinking was that a recent hit would increase the value? Or was he just trying to help out his sons, and deals for Sea of Tunes only came after the single peaked in the charts?
