The Smile Sessions

Brian plays on one or two tracks, but you know, Yeah, Pet Sounds, that's Wrecking Crew.

The early Smile Sessions is Wrecking Crew.

But if you take a step back to Summer Days and Summer Nights, there's three, four tracks on there that are the Beach Boys.

Then I Kissed Her is the Beach Boys.

It was Brian's look.

And Paul and I, I found later, both used the Smile Sessions box set as like our entry point, because that was the peak of Paul's version of Brian.

the ultimate peak where, you know, Paul McCartney was chewing the carrots on vegetables.

He heard that, said, oh my God, we have to scrap everything.

Can we now translate it? Right.

And doing these parts.

And then, you know, you'd hear him on Smile Sessions say, like, third trumpet, move your mic an inch back.

Like, one ear.

And there's a four album release that came out.

A few years back, four albums, like four discs, just about the Smile Sessions.

So you can hear behind the scenes how things were coming together or were trying to come together.

And Good Vibrations is featured prominently on that because it had been written, but it The intention was to use it on the next album, Smile.

Pretty much, pretty much, which was unheard of at the time.

So a lot of the recording of that song and a lot of songs on Smile, but especially Good Vibrations, all the instruments were played with this audio alteration that was going on in the studio.

If you listen to the Smile sessions, so when Brian gets on the mic, like behind the glass, and he's commenting on what people should be playing, His voice is having that echo because they kept that vibration going so that all the instruments had a weird sound to them.
