Indeed, kudos to Dan Lega. I'd have joined in but my sojourn on endless harmony was not a happy experience. I love your 'too-near-faraway-place'. And, yes, some of those who post there are nice people. AGD called my sister, friend (who used to post on the Blueboard as Starry) and me 'the three witches' so I wouldn't include him in that number though of course he knows a lot about the history. AGD was surprisingly restrained - I'm guessing he is trying not to engage much on the subject of David's book, other than to let us know he already has a copy. Had Brian's brain been fried after his first LSD experience perhaps they'd have had a point but Brian's descent into a bad period took longer than that, was far more gradual.

I should get the book tomorrow. The press release mentioned how Here Come De Honey man was included in the Vigotone SMiLE and people assumed it was written by Brian. Unsurprising really as it is Gershwin. Someone posted that the guy who'd done this had deliberately done it to find who was leaking his stuff. I'm sorry - probably you know this already. If I did, I'd forgotten.

Thanks very much for your interesting reply!]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28598.0 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 00:34:15 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685739.html#msg685739 <![CDATA[Re: SMiLE book by David Leaf]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685738.html#msg685738
Also--kudos to Dan Lega for going toe-to-toe with several of the "kahunas" over at EH (which I like to call "the too-near faraway place.") Smokin

Of course that does something of a disservice to a number of fine folks who post there, but the parallel thread about David's new book turned predictably turgid once one particular name cropped up in the conversation. As expected, AGD (who appears in the book) was milder than was previously the case with David, but he and the "Beach Girl" both manifested major mouth-foam once Lorren Daro's name surfaced. I was in the middle of that notorious thread here when Daro appeared; he made the mistake of being provocatively negative about Mike and Marilyn, and the resulting furor from those two was truly appalling. And nearly fifteen years later they are still at it, literally beating a dead horse. Good on you, Dan, for giving much better than you got with both of them. It's especially a shame with AGD, he's done such a lot of good work--but that strange darkness in his soul is just in there waiting for the "right" trigger...

Many other good posts in the thread, including several from Will JC, but it was inevitable that the thread would get bogged down by these overblown (and irrelevant) vendettas. ]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28598.0 Sun, 06 Apr 2025 22:26:13 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685738.html#msg685738 <![CDATA[Re: New series Of Review articles of each Beach Boys album]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28526.msg685737.html#msg685737 http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28526.0 Sun, 06 Apr 2025 09:02:48 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28526.msg685737.html#msg685737 <![CDATA[Re: What in the world???]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28603.msg685736.html#msg685736 http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28603.0 Sun, 06 Apr 2025 08:36:25 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28603.msg685736.html#msg685736 <![CDATA[What in the world???]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28603.msg685735.html#msg685735 http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28603.0 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 23:25:51 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28603.msg685735.html#msg685735 <![CDATA[Re: SMiLE book by David Leaf]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685734.html#msg685734
I first became a fan in 1969 but before I had even done so the first Beach Boys song I really loved was Heroes and Villains. I could never - and still can't - understand the reaction to it. Some were so diappointed that Brian's love song to California had reached the last verse perhaps. I loved it from the first time I heard it and still do.]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28598.0 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 23:22:39 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685734.html#msg685734 <![CDATA[Re: SMiLE book by David Leaf]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685733.html#msg685733
Whether that will temper any of the criticism that David will likely endure for continuing to present SMiLE as a partial mutiny by the rest of the band is hard to predict.

I have the book ordered and look forward to reading it. I'm not surprised, however, that additional details about the 1967 phase of SMiLE are sparse. And that is an area where the EH folks are quite likely to linger over at some great length.

As I see it, the part of the story that we still need to know centers around the details of the decision to "reboot" from SMiLE to Smiley Smile and the understanding within the group that must have been in place regarding what Brian would do once Smiley was completed. It seems that it took a bit longer to get Smiley out into the marketplace than was usually the case for the band's LPs; Pet Sounds came out just under a month after its final reassembly (per the entries at Bellagio); Smiley took two months to reach stores (mid-September) after being mastered on July 20th (again, per Bellagio). It appears that Brian planned to transition the group into a new direction (what became the Wild Honey LP) and resume a new round of outside productions (Redwood). But the drubbing that Smiley Smile took in the press and in the marketplace created so much consternation that it utterly upended things. What remains unconfirmed/unspoken is that a Brian "solo Smile" was part of an agreement to launch the Brother/Capitol label, as alluded to by Brad Elliot based on the Karl Engemann memo from late September. That was all disappeared in short order after the "Redwood intervention," which David refers to as Brian's Rubicon of "de-involvement" with music.

But it doesn't seem to be quite that cut-and-dried, though it certainly must contain a large dollop of truth. It appears that Brian's response was to write more songs for what became the Wild Honey LP--tracks that appear to have been composed in the time after the Redwood confrontation (checking the listed dates at Bellagio). Sales results for Wild Honey were an encouraging improvement, with "Darlin'" proving that the intervenors were right: it was a Top 20 hit and provided encouragement that the band could regain their footing.

Lost in that appears to be the idea that Brian could have solo projects, which is the main emphasis of David's approach to those times (without any actual blow-by-blow elaborations beyond the "Redwood intervention"). How Brian resigned himself to this and continued to churn out music is a bit hard to fathom; but that's what he did, with a flurry of work from February-April 1968.

But note that the Friends LP has a strange "release path" similar to Smiley: two months elapse between its mastering and its release, which suggests a time of turmoil and uncertainty. And there was a great deal of turmoil in play, with the disastrous "Maharishi tour" occurring just after the release of the "Friends" single in April (which barely cracked the Top 50), spawning an "emergency return to the beach" with the one-off "Do It Again" (recorded as part of another flurry of activity in June). That song helped to fend off the total disaster of the Friends LP utterly tanking in the charts, but it appears to have cemented a kind of rift between Brian and the band over the fact that his approach to effecting the band's recovery hadn't worked.

And it seems that Brian made one more effort to transcend all that with "Can't Wait Too Long," looking to make it into a "mega-single" in a vein similar/analogous to "Good Vibrations." Late July was devoted to one more attempt to get it right, replete with modular-type assembly. It seems to have resulted in the same type of anti-climactic uncertainty that plagued "Heroes & Villains in early '67. And it appears to be a flashpoint for Brian's depression and withdrawal--ironically occurring in tandem with the operational completion of the home studio at Bellagio, which brought the band into an odd proximity with Brian as he became only a fitful participant in the band's creative efforts over the next four years (before Marilyn had the studio dismantled).

With a Brother Records lifeline for solo projects reneged on and deactivated, and the subsequent resurrection of SMiLE tracks by the band, Brian's response to such a bitter irony--to withdraw and wave away any/all questions regarding it--can be seen as the actions of a man retreating on a path to avoid total self-destruction. It fed what became a growing drug habit, which treated the symptoms but held no promise for a cure--and the rest of the story is told with eloquence and empathy by David, an effort that, thanks to sensitive perseverance and ongoing support, ultimately paid off.

Since much of what is outlined above is not central to the SMiLE saga, I figure David didn't see fit to incorporate any details that could confirm, correct or refute the above speculation. Clearly some of the above would be seen as "dirty laundry" and has been kept purposefully vague over the intervening years; but it seems to me to be a plausible set of basic details that give us an outline of the internecine events within the band in the immediate aftermath of the SMiLE era. Of course, your mileage may vary...]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28598.0 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 23:11:35 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685733.html#msg685733 <![CDATA[Re: SMiLE book by David Leaf]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685732.html#msg685732 Quote from: Dan Lega on April 05, 2025, 06:03:48 AM

I think I heard the Gershwin tune got included so that if the tape ever became widely distributed (e.g., bootlegged) then the provider of the tape would know the person he gave it to, and thus could make sure he never gave any other "illegal goods" to that person. But that makes me wonder, does that mean other people may have received early SMiLE outtake cassettes with different non-SMiLE songs? If so, I wonder what they were!

And, Angela, the book does a great job of bringing back feelings from the premiere! I'm sure you'll love it as much as I did!

(And, yeah, Andrew used to mostly be a curmudgeon with a bit of charm. But now he's turned into the KGB of Beach Boys history! If you don't agree with his interpretation of things he will try to tear you down. I got into an argument about SMiLE over at that board last year. It was not pretty. And the discussion of the David Leaf book, which has morphed into a discussion of Loren Daro, the first person to give Brian LSD, is eliciting the same attacks. He calls himself a historian, yet it seems that if someone gets one fact wrong, then EVERYTHING that person says can't be trusted. Of course, this standard only applies to folks who spout a different version of history than the one he wants to believe.)

I've read several of your comments and agree with all of them and had I been able to post on 'Endless Harmony' (if ever there was a misnomer lol!) I'd have said so and no doubt annoyed AGD again! The LSD thing - yes, it can be harmful, though they knew less of that at the time, but I was just recently listening to an interview done by Brian in 1968, long after SMiLE had been shelved. Brian was totally with it, clear, talkative. Brian became damaged later on and I think being artistically derailed had something to do with that. There are those who are so anxious to deny that other members of the band had any responsibility for the shelving of SMiLE that they prefer to try to blame the drugs. Bottom line is, it was mainly because of Mike that the collaborator, Van Dyke Parks, walked away. I've had so many arguments with Andrew over the years, though of course I accept he knows lots of the facts. I make mistakes and so does he.

Like all of us, Brian has said different things at different times. But Brian has CLEARLY stated the reasons for SMiLE's non-release, that Mike didn't like it, that he was anxious it was too experimental, that the Fire Music freaked him out. And yet when he finally recorded that music, it got him his first Grammy. A phoenix arising from the ashes.

I should get the book on Monday. Really looking forward to it.]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28598.0 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 16:47:53 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685732.html#msg685732 <![CDATA[Re: SMiLE book by David Leaf]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685731.html#msg685731 Quote from: bossaroo on April 04, 2025, 08:49:58 PM

the Miles Davis song is "Here Come de Honey Man" a Gershwin tune from his Porgy & Bess album: https://youtu.be/q8gZ7QBGyMI

one of several dubbed cassette SMiLE boots I owned did indeed include the Miles song and I had no reason to believe it wasn't part of the sessions, til I heard P&B a few years later.

it's a short repetitive piece, dreamy and lovely, so it does kind of fit but I'd be interested to know how it ever got included on a SMiLE boot.

Thanks! I thought that would be it TBH. I love it and I can see that it kind of fits! I've got so much SMiLE stuff i lose track of it. We may have had to wait years foir Brian to complete it but so many others did their own assemblages. And the mosaic aspects of SMiLE make it very easy to do various versions.]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28598.0 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 16:28:48 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685731.html#msg685731 <![CDATA[Re: SMiLE -- \]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28601.msg685730.html#msg685730 Quote from: Dan Lega on April 05, 2025, 06:23:14 AM

That is correct! I wrote that out and posted to this board!

But I do have to say I was not the one who "found" them. Another researcher, whose name I've unfortunately forgotten, please forgive me(!), found out through an online search where they were located. (I believe the researcher lived in Europe?)

It may have been "Jasper" from Switzerland. I think he was involved with this. Nice guy. He was the admin for a german Beach Boys forum back then. Unfortunately I haven't heard from him for a long, long time. Hope he is doing alright.

(I believe the researcher lived in Europe?) It so happened that at that time I worked in NYU's Bobst Library!

(At one point there was legend that would tell you what all the brackets and parentheses and other things meant -- meaning some things I couldn't make out and was guessing at, and other were explanations of abbreviations, or possible guesses as to what was being referenced.)

As to the pool scene... someone reposted the list at the Endless Harmony board, too, and I thought I saw that the last reel said something about the Boys in the pool (swimming toward camera, I believe.) I'd have to go over there and check to see for sure.

Of course the hope is that some genuinely lost piece of Smile ( e.g., full or partial versions of CIFOTM or IIGS or H&V or whatever) was captured by Oppenheim and his crew.]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28601.0 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 08:41:15 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28601.msg685719.html#msg685719 <![CDATA[Re: What would the aborted '90s reunion album have looked like?]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28602.msg685718.html#msg685718
SOUL SEARCHIN' (The Beach Boys, 1996)

Soul Searchin'
You're Still a Mystery
Dancin' the Night Away / Baywatch Nights
Desert Drive
My Mary Anne
Proud Mary (we know he worked on this with Don Was)
Chain Reaction of Love
Saturday Morning in the City
I'm Broke (maybe? or possibly another BW tune)
And I Always Will / Jenny Clover (Al Jardine spot)
Glow Crescent Glow (or some Mike Love song)

Realistically, these were the songs that were most done and that could have incorporated the '90s BB voices most successfully. At least to my ears!]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28602.0 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 07:11:31 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28602.msg685718.html#msg685718 <![CDATA[What would the aborted '90s reunion album have looked like?]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28602.msg685717.html#msg685717 http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?action=post;topic=28602.0 Fri, 04 Apr 2025 03:28:37 GMT http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28602.msg685717.html#msg685717 <![CDATA[Re: SMiLE book by David Leaf]]> http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,28598.msg685716.html#msg685716
I'm a completist! And I love books (though not much room for them I have so many).

I chose to opt out of the opportunity to detail my feelings at the SMiLE Live premiere in the RFH. After the show was different! Total strangers involved in profound conversation. It was hard to just go home!

Anything that reminds me of that occasion is a good thing.

Mojo informs us of several things we learn from the book- to mention just two:
''One bootleg version of SMiLE included a Miles Davis performance that many fans long thought was a Wilson composition.
'Before the fourth Royal Festival Hall show, Paul McCartney showed up at Wilson]]>�
Both new to me. What is the Miles Davis performance referred to here? If I knew, I've forgotten!
