Good Elements: SirQ Remixes the Beach Boys

Hello again! (again)

You may recall SirQ's Good Elements remix project which was shared here, like, half a decade ago. Now, a number of years in the making, we have pretty remarkable new version. Enjoy "Wind Chimes", "Gettin' Hungry", "Wonderful" and "Whistle In" as you've never heard them before.

More Goodies (Brian and Mike)

Continuing on from the previous set, here are an additional two of Brian and Mike goodies!

The Brian Wilson goodies offers some very interesting rarities: duets with Jan Berry and Rocky Pamplin, an early version of "Being with the One You Love" entitled "Doin' Time on Planet Earth" (presumably intended for the film of the same name), and some terrific-quality Sweet Insanity backing tracks and a capellas. After that it's the Andy Paley tracks, not presented in the best quality available but with alternate mixes included.

Next, the Mike Love goodies(?) contains a variety of outtakes, alternate mixes of tracks from his withdrawn First Love and Country Love albums, duets with Dean Torrence, Beach Boys covers/originals with Adrian Baker, and a few radio spots (a Looking Back with Love promo and the hilarious Arbor Day message in three versions).

Get 'em here.

Brian Wilson - Royal Festival Hall, 2002

Here's a Brian show from 2002 with an incredible setlist - "Busy Doin Nothin'", "Cabinessence", "The Night Was So Young", "Melt Away", and the entireity of Pet Sounds - all here, just to name a few. Audio quality isn't the best, but nothing that'll put you off hearing all these deep cuts live.
