Take It Personal (Covers)

EXHIBIT C:


Now 'Good Vibrations' was already an overplayed song, but let's not forget that at the time of it's release it was the most expensive single ever produced... and literally blew people's minds.

NO LOVE to the advertising executives who thought it would be a top idea to add a choroegraphed dance routine and change the lyrics to help sell cheap fridges.

Smile - Merry Xmas

A reconstruction of The Beach Boys' lost LP 'SMiLE' (the album that was going to be the follow up to 'Pet Sounds'). Based upon the track listing of Brian Wilson's 2004 re-recorded/finished version, and compiled from commercially released tracks from the original sessions, plus a bunch of 1967-era bootlegs. It's probably a little sacrilicous, but I think Ryan Marks does a pretty good job reconstructing what could have been.

This has been floating around the interwebs for a little while, but hey - it's the thought that counts.

Of course, you should buy the Brian Wilson version too.
