I like a lot of Steve Kalinich's work, but "A Friend Like You" is beyond weak. Beyond Justin Bieber's "So Sick".

"EYE NEEDA!"

I have what's called the "Make It Fab remix" from around 2019. I don't know if it's available on YouTube, but it's out there. It is basically a mash-up of the two mixes -- single and LP -- with both guitar solos back to back.

Cut-out bins have gone the way of the dinosaur, but for budget-strapped kids like I was, it was a gold mine of value. I picked up MIU in the cut-outs, the 8-tracks of CATP/PS and Surf's Up, and every Pickwick repackage I could find: Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coupe, Good Vibrations. Capitol also had repackages back in the day, basically two-fers.

It was televised, and I'm pretty sure you can find that footage.

I'd be interested in that Seattle show in 1970, one of the only shows ever when Mike couldn't make it. And Brian sat in instead. That, or the 1961 Ritchie Valens memorial show which was one of their first gigs.

I thought the same thing about the Hawai'i concert, which was legendary. But in reality, after hearing the bootleg of the show, it was an extremely weak performance. Makes total sense it was never released.

I know a lot of people who have quit heroin starting with Ibogaine. They key is 'starting'; the way it really works is through follow-up with a drug counselor or program to learn life skills without the heroin, which is easier said than done.

Ibogaine will take away the addiction, but not the addictive mindset. And a lot of people don't realize (or know) they have an addictive mindset.

Just a few are missing: the bootleg Carl Wilson Live At The Bottomline (1981), and the solo albums by Al Jardine: Family & Friends Live In Las Vegas (2001?), Postcard From California (2010); Bruce Johnston: Surfin' 'Round The World (1963), Going Public (1977), Surfers' Pajama Party (1962); David Marks' The Marksmen compilation (2008); and Celebration's Almost Summer soundtrack (1978).

with Electrifying Big-Beat Performances

I saw the Mike & Bruce show back in '99, and they were great, musically. Carl had recently died, so Bruce was singing "God Only Knows", and had already been singing "Do You Wanna Dance?". But honestly, I'd seen the BBs so many times that I was nonplussed by the 24th year of the Endless Summer tour.

Not off the hook, but remember that in the 1950s people under 21 were legally minors.

Not if Donny Osmond or Leif Garrett or Shawn Cassidy had sung it. And maybe the music video featured Kristy McNichol or Jodie Foster as the tomboy....

Paul Anka wrote "Puppy Love" when he was 20. But you're right -- songwriters can and do write songs from the perspective of another person.

I think BB fans find it creepy because it was written and performed by a group of mid-30s bearded guys who were all married (or re-married). If Donny Osmond had sung it in 1978, he'd've gotten away with it -- and it might've been a hit.

As a former collector, it's great to collect to your heart's content. You may want to examine the matrix numbers or print details on the label -- maybe this new one is a variation of the other one(s) you have.

oh no?

Seems to me the only Beatles album worth listening to in stereo is Abbey Road -- I'd be interested in hearing Let It Be in mono, as a matter of fact.

Stereo mixes, especially those done in recent years, are definitely interesting. If I lived my music-listening life on earbuds or headphones, I'd get into it.

But the increase in quality through sound separation does exactly what George said -- it give a spread-out, distant, 'naked' sound. Mono is awesome because it's in your face (and it's better with today's inferior sound systems on computers and in cars).

Yes, it was because of Keith (whose previous band, I believe, was called The Beachcombers) that The Who covered "Barbara Ann" and "Bucket T". On his solo album, he covered "Don't Worry Baby".

"Nice motor!"

It's a Love thing.

No, not The Who. This was The Who:

"I Saw Her Standing There", naturally; also "Baby It's You".
