Beach Boys - Smiley Smile / Wild Honey (Käytetty CD)
€10,00Quick ViewTheir two quirky 1967 albums, together with various sessions and an early take of Good Vibrations ; an alternate take of Heroes and Villains; You’re Welcome; Their Hearts Were Full of Spring, and Can’t Wait Too Long. 28 tracks!
These albums mark nothing less than a watershed in the Beach Boys’ and Brian Wilson’s careers. Fresh from the artistic triumph of Pet Sounds and the landmark single ”Good Vibrations,” Wilson began work on Smile, a project that would become a music fan’s Rashomon: pop’s most (in)famous unreleased album; artistic Waterloo for Wilson; near career-ruination for the band. Smile seemed an attempt to expand on the jigsaw session methodology Wilson had applied to ”Vibrations.” What went wrong has been debated for decades, but Smiley Smile was the album that followed in the summer of ’67–a ”bunt instead of a home run,” as Carl Wilson admitted. Bookended by the glories of the ”Vibrations” single and its truncated follow-up, ”Heroes and Villains,” Smiley can seem an exercise in creative schizophrenia. There’s an earthy quality to remakes of Smile tracks ”Wind Chimes,” ”Vegetables,” and ”Wonderful,” while Wilson’s ”Fall Breaks,” ”Little Pad,” and ”Whistle In” underscore his playful, off-center instincts. But this album also anticipated the roots-conscious retrenchment that the Beatles and Bob Dylan would undertake at the end of the ’60s.
Wild Honey has taken its place as a cult fave among fans, and rightly so. Its surprising R&B influences (epitomized by the buoyant title track, ”Darlin’,” and ”Here Comes the Night”) were not only a brave turn for a band just then at a low ebb, but a prescient pointer to the black music explosion of the early ’70s. This great twofer edition includes some of the series’ best tracks: a near seven-minute ”in progress” suite of ”Good Vibrations” outtakes as well as a complete early version; the odd, Smile-era B-side ”You’re Welcome”; a beautiful live rehearsal rendition of the a cappella showcase ”Their Hearts Were Full of Spring”; and another suite of edited session takes for the unreleased standout ”Can’t Wait Too Long.” -Jerry McCulley

Various - Lost Innocence: Garpax 1960s Punk & Psych (CD)
€18,00Quick ViewVintage garage rock is only one of the many tributaries of popular music that the maverick genius Gary S Paxton recorded and produced in his 1960s heyday, and while hardly prolific, the small cadre of 60s punk tracks in the vault of this eccentric producer-engineer include a fair amount of acknowledged classics of the genre. ”Lost Innocence: Garpax 1960s Punk & Psych” collects the best moments from Paxton’s forays into teenaged rock in the wake of the British Invasion. Many of the groups and their discs are well-known to the aficionados: The Avengers’ controversial ’Be A Cave Man’, the snotty tones of ’See If I Care’ by Ken & the Forth Dimension, the eloquent evocation of carnal knowledge that is the Buddhas’ title track. Highly regarded nuggets by the Whatt Four, the New Wing and Limey & The Yanks are joined by ear-opening screamers from the likes of Carl Walden & the Humans. Most of the material on ”Lost Innocence” was recorded at Paxton’s two Hollywood studios between 1965 and 1967, but some of the freakier cuts derive from facilities he ran from a converted bank in the Bakersfield suburb of Oildale in the last three years of the decade. These include the trippy ’My Dream’ by the aforementioned Buddhas and fantastic cuts by the Fog and Mental Institution, the latter one of the many pseudonyms that Paxton acolyte Kenny Johnson used while recording at the studio. ”Lost Innocence” is taken wholly from master tape and features many songs either new to CD or completely unissued. A lengthy note and numerous rare photos complete a package loaded with appeal for the 1960s garage rock enthusiast.
