The Maureen that's mentioned in the article was very likely Mike's sister Maureen Love, who did indeed sing with her brother and cousins before they were The Beach Boys. She later became a professional harp player.

Now you really have my curiosity! Take care.

[BeatlesForever]

I was listening to Friends and Sunflower lately. It looks like Brian gave up about making his all time pretentious masterpiece and the band just recorded some well crafted interesting music.

About the Smile project, it seems that Brian wasn't all that happy with Pet Sounds and wanted to go for more, but I don't blame him for being an obsessive genius.

How's it going Hombre_de_ningun_lugar? I hope all is well with you and welcome to the discussion. Brian did lose the love and passion for recording advanced technological albums after SMiLE was cancelled. In the late 1960's and prior to the 1976 album 15 BIG ONES, Mike Love, Carl Wilson and sometimes Al Jardine would limit the time and access that Brian would spend in the studio. Since Brian would spend less time in the studio with The Beach Boys, he would spend time recording another band. A perfect example of this is detailed on page 128 of the book THE STORY OF BRIAN WILSON'S LOST MASTERPIECE SMiLE by Domenoc Priore. I know that Joost is very familiar with this story as told by Three Dog Night member Chuck Negron. The songs "Time To Get Alone" and "Darlin'" were songs that Brian wanted REDWOOD (Later changed to Three Dog Night) to record. Brian really wanted to sign REDWOOD to The Beach Boys' "Brother Records" label. Then Mike Love, Carl Wilson and Al Jardine walked in on the sessions and cornered Brian in the booth of the studio and tore him a new a*s! The mental abuse that Brian was taking from his own Cousin Mike, his own Brother Carl and his good friend Al was extremely too much to bare. All three would block Brian from walking away from them and eventually break Brian. Brian would be reduced to tears. Then Mike, Carl and Al would take the REDWOOD session tapes away from Brian in order to use the songs on future Beach Boys albums. Mike would also tell Brian that REDWOOD was not a good band and they're nothing! Mike would say no to signing REDWOOD. REDWOOD would sign on to a record label and change their name to Three Dog Night. And as the saying goes, as all of you know, the rest is Rock n' Roll history. Three Dog Night would become a very successful band in the 1970's.

In reality, Mike, Carl and sometimes Al, would play vital roles in keeping Brian from being the big genius that he really is. That's why Brian would no longer be allowed to participate in or be more creative behind the soundboard in the studio and produce another Beach Boys album until 1976 thanks mainly to Mike. The "Brian Is Back" campaign in 1976 was really BS! There is so much to The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson story that you have to read it to believe it. Take care.

Hi BeatlesForever, thanks for the explanation, I didn't know the story of Brian behind Three Dog Night. I don't pretend to be much involved in the discussion since I'm not a Beach Boys expert like you both. I'm just familiar with Pet Sounds and most of their Top 40 hits. But I was reading your discussion with Joost and learnt some interesting things about the band!

You're very welcome. There is so much fatalities in The Beach Boys story that its a tragedy. The Beach Boys (With leader Brian) had all the potential in the world of becoming more successful than they were. In my opinion, when SMiLE died in 1967, I guess that it is fair to say that a part of Brian and the band died with it. Take care.

This Whole World Anyone who thinks that Brian Wilson "lost it" after the 'Smile' debacle should just listen to this. It has so much chord and key changes that purely theoretically it's a big mess, and yet it works perfectly. Probably one of their richest songs.

I'm so in love with that song right now.It's incredibly catchy and good.

[Joost]

Good but expensive times ahead for Beach Boys fans. This is all sceduled for release later this year:

Oct. 4: Al Jardine - A Postcard from California (released in 2010 as a download only release, will now be available on CD with bonus tracks)

Oct. 25: Brian Wilson - Songs in the Key of Disney (new album, covers of songs from classic Disney movies)

Nov. 1: SMiLE box set.

I'm so in love with that song right now.It's incredibly catchy and good.

How's it going 5th Beatle? I hope all is well with you. "This Whole World" is a great song! In my opinion, the SUNFLOWER album is one of The Beach Boys' all-time greatest albums ever along side the PET SOUNDS album and the "Good Vibrations" single although SUNFLOWER never got the true recognition that it deserved. My favorite Dennis Wilson songs on this album are "Slip On Through" and "Forever." Take care.

[Joost]

Doing OK, how about you?

I have two SMiLE bootlegs. I have the Odeon CD that you mentioned, and an LP on green vinyl on Sea of Tunes, LP001 (although I'm pretty sure it wasn't made by the people who were responsible for the Sea of Tunes CDs).

Beach Boys - The SMiLE Sessions (promo)

[Hello Goodbye]

I think it's a good value even at Amazon's price of $147   But I'm happy you posted this information, Joost, as I pre-ordered mine yesterday.  And thank you for posting the additional information and promo video, Joost.

[BeatlesForever]

Doing OK, how about you?

I have two SMiLE bootlegs. I have the Odeon CD that you mentioned, and an LP on green vinyl on Sea of Tunes, LP001 (although I'm pretty sure it wasn't made by the people who were responsible for the Sea of Tunes CDs).

How's it going Joost? Here are the tracks for Disc 3 as follows:

In my opinion, The Beach Boys SMiLE Sessions Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 17  (1966-1967) 3-CD set is one of the greatest SMiLE compilations ever put out. You really get an idea of what Brian was doing in the studio with SMiLE. Take care Joost.

Hi Joost! I can't wait to get the Boxset, I've heard that the tracks in the Boxset are going to be completely different from all of the SMiLE bootlegs. I also understand that the tracks in the Boxset is only a fraction of what is in the vaults. Maybe Capitol will release another SMiLE Boxset later in the future depending on how well the SMiLE Boxset sells in November. In my opinion, without a doubt in my mind, the SMiLE Boxset is going to sell extremely well seeing how big the SMiLE legend really is. SMiLE IS THE MOST FAMOUS UNRELEASED (Soon to be released AT LAST!) ALBUM IN ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY! Joost, the question that is on every music critic's mind is will SMiLE live up to its glorious legend? That question will FINALLY be answered in November and beyond. In my opinion Joost, my answer would be yes and more. Take care Joost.
