I'm sure Mike Love took out some of his demons in setting the scenes with Brian and his "leeches". The one "music" point that bugged the shit outta me was the scene where "Brian" sits at the piano, and plays "In My room" for "Marilyn". The producers used a recent take from Brian, cut in the 90's (I call those versions from the "marble-mouthed" Brian era). I could tell it was a later recording, but I'm sure most of America (those who live and die by People Magazine) don't care or could tell. As for the Summer Dreams movie done in 1990, I quite enjoyed this, factually inaccurate or not. More comedic than anything. It tended to focus on Brian and Dennis, the two tragic figures (at that time). While it was great to see the Sunrays scene with Murry in the studio in last night's movie, it was LAME to hear a faux pas version of "I Live For The Sun"...I hate 'made for movie' remakes that aren't true to the original. The lead studio singer couldn't even hit the hi notes that Rick Henn could. And a BIG GAFF for not depicting the drummer as the lead vocalist (Rick was the drummer and lead vocal in the Sunrays). The movie had the guitarist singing. Another Mike Love gaff? Although Mike Love's biggest crime is continuing to float the Beach Boys life raft that has long since deflated...

The first two-fers in question came out on Brother/Reprise first and Brother was the Beach Boys' own label under Reprise ("And now, Frank Sinatra and the Beach Boys sing...?"). My guess is that since these sold rather poorly at the time, folks would get more for their dollar and they would at least sell SOMETHING. Being on Brother, perhaps (but not definitely) the Beach Boys OK'ed this. I haven't heard all of any of the six albums, so I cannot say how I feel about this artistically. I am also quite sure had Capitol (who re-released the double sets) issued each album by itself, people would have called them greedheads for trying to gouge people for what was once a two for one deal. As for the third album, Mr. Apollo put a ? after "Stack-O-Tracks" and I don't know whether that meant "Why did they bother reissuing this?" or "What is this", but for anyone's information, it is a "Play Along With the Beach Boys" record and had been out of print for many years.

Greg ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 11:16:46 -0800 From: Greg Shaw Subject: Beach Boys movie I thought it was pretty great. Especially the casting. At first I wasn't sure about Brian, but as the facial hair grew, he looked more and more authentic. And the house in Bel Air looked very much like the one I visited in 1973. Even the minor rolls were well-cast, though Nik Venet was heavier-set. Diane Rovell looked very, very close to the real Diane. Incidentelly, I think there was more to this story than ever came out. The Rovell sisters were VERY flirtatious, and had a kind of sister-act they did together, which they'd probably been doing all their lives, and likely got Brian hooked with--dangling the hook that he'd get 2 girls for the price of one! This is just speculation of course, but in the movie, when the 2 girls take Brian up to their bedroom (with parental approval!) there are some sly looks going around. I ALWAYS had this impression, on the basis of the short time I knew the "menage". More authenticity: Bruce mentioning the Ripchords (nice touch). I was almost sure they'd used Tim White's book as source material, but it wasn't in the credits as far as I was able to see. The only anachronism I spotted (and period films are always full of them...) was the meeting with Nik Venet at Capitol in 1973. It's true, Capitol did decide to put out the old stuff then, but the BB were meanwhile at Warners being very active with Brother Records--not exactly has-beens. And Nik himself was no longer there at all; he was at United Artists, where I worked with him in 1972-73 (and years later bought his BB gold records, when he was for some reason destitute... but that's another story). The only other "off" fact I spotted was Hite Morgan renaming the Pendletones as the Beach Boys--it was actually promo man Russ Regan who gets the credit for that. But I can understand the dramatic reasons for telescoping a minor event like this. One of my favorite parts was the record company meetings where Brian used tape recorders to answer Venet's questions. Don't know if this really happened, but what a great idea! I think I know somebody who can make use of it right now... All in all, a real blast. I wish I'd taped it.

They sat and sat, even at $3-5 a pop. Bin filler, basically. Each has one or more trax that *i* liked, but i'm real patient with the Boys and kept an open ear to find something of merit on them, ie. "Wild Honey", "Darlin'", "Do It Again", "I Can Hear Music", etc. (i'm going on memory here). And definitely knew about Stack-O-Trax. Was amused that it even GOT reissued, tho am certainly not complaining about the comprehensive approach. Even popped for that Japanese cd combining "Rarities" and the wretched "Medley" album, which i've long since dumped. - -g - --------------------------------- Brian Phillips wrote: > > >Smiley Smile/Wild Honey > >Friends/ 20/20 > >Party/Stack-O-Tracks > > > >I need verification for this.

I wish I'd taped it. - ------ Heard THAT, Greg. I'm so used to these network music-bio's being so *wincingly* bad that i had it on in the background while doing 'puter work and reading Bomp posts, then kept turning around for this cool thing or that cool thing, going: "damn, damn. WHY aren't i taping this???" Lenny? Ari? Up for a trade? I imagine with its' four hour length, they probably won't get around to re-broadcasting it any time soon. Or until VH-1 or the Family Channel grab it, as they did with the Jackson 5's lengthy bio-pic. - - gary apollo! http://apollojams.com ps: i'm glad you've stopped lurking, btw. Whither Barnes, Sculatti, Mendelssohn and so on? Apologies if any of them are dead or something, i haven't been keeping track. Don't tell me they think they're too "old" for this! It's fun! Like a daily mini-issue of a good fanzine with breaking news (new Sundazed stuff), reviews (people reviewing 45's they picked up over the weekend), consumer cautioning (so-and-so's compilation has lousy sound, etc.), and opinions opinions opinions.

I'm weeks late again. . . . Evan, get the first four (My Generation, Happy Jack, Sell Out, and Magic Bus) and "Meaty " as well, 'cuz it's got tracks not on any other LP, mainly "I Can't Explain," "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere", "Pictures of Lily" and "The Seeker."
