From The Vaults

Here's another assorted Beach Boys bootleg that I want off my computer. So I'm throwing it up here!



All I really know about this bootleg is: It's very good quality (320 kbps), It's random, and it was definitely made in Italy.

Sherry She Needs Me is great if you've never heard it before, it's pretty shaky though. Same deal for Seasons in the Sun. Actually, the sound quality sucks on it. I'm Beggin' You Please (demo) is pretty awesome too. Sounds like it could have made a really good song.

But the big surprise here, are the last 2 songs. Brian's Back and Viggie. Both are Mike Love songs. They're really great. This version of Brian's back has a beautiful orchestrated introduction that I love. And Viggie is just so cheery and orchestral as well. Kudos to Mike Love for those 2 songs, they're very sentimental and cute.

HOLY CRAP ERIC!! It's like you read my mind, I was looking all over for this! Thank you so much! You don't know how grateful I am! Say, you don't happen to have a disc called "Capitol Punishment" now do you? :D

You're welcome!!

However, I've never been able to find the capitol punishment bootleg.

Maybe it can be a challenge for you??

Maybe you could ask some people on the smiley smile forum??

Thank you for all these great uploads, Eric. Great stuff.


Now that Eric is focusing more on his pop music blog (thisispopmusic.blogspot.com check it out if you haven't yet, it is well worth the visit), I've started my own Beach Boys blog to sort of fill the void, its probably not as good as this one, but please check it out if you want to.

This blog is awesome... you've posted some things I've been looking for for years. Thanks a million!

One problem, though... this asks me for a password when I try to decompress the file. What should I enter?

The Lexingtons said...

i'm not sure really! I never ever put passwords on any of my files, so its baffling me. Are you sure you have the newest version of winzip and winrar?

Maybe that's it?
