McCartney was known for being pretty insulting to his bandmates (apparently all in good fun, though), so he'd seem like kind of a jerk if he could dish it out, but couldn't take it. He does seem to portray himself as the Sensitive Beatle, though. On the other hand, take a look at this video right here. This was recorded during the recording of The Beach Boys' Smile. It was well known that Mike Love quite audibly hated the album because it didn't have any singles, but moreso because he hated VanDyke Parks' lyrics, and probably even moreso because Brian Wilson was becoming the leader of the band, and not co-writing with him anymore. Him taking the time to slag off "Heroes and Villains" on tape would be a pretty jerk move, right? Except this recording was written by Brian Wilson, and Brian was apparently cracking up in the control room the whole time. So, even in bad situations where people hate each other, it's not impossible to have a bit of a sense of humor about it. We can't always assume. It's still a different thing when it's on an actual commercially released recording - and this the biggest band ever. I am quite well read on the Smile saga, but I had never seen that to my knowledge. Too bad the sound is too muffled for me to get anything from it. That would have actually to have been released under the Beach Boys name to equal Let it Be though. _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

I believe it was sent out to radio programs as a comedy sketch or something. It's pretty controversial these days, because people don't know that it was a joke. It's explained pretty well in the book Catch a Wave. |

Amongst Mike Love haters? Look at the comments on the video. Everybody's calling him a prick. Which...he is, but not for that. |

One wonders if Mike Love and the rest of the group was supporting him during this time if he would have completed Smile.......or was he too doped up that that wouldn't help either way? The world will never know... I just wish Capitol would release an official box set of all the Smile sessions. There are already bootlegs, but why not do an official with the highest quality available? I think it would sell relatively well. When he did the new recording would have been the best time to 'Capitol'ize, but it's never too late. _________________ I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away. |

Everybody was just kind of half supportive, but with this constant picking at him mixed with a dependence on him giving them something that would blow the world away. All the pressure pretty much came down on him, and he had gone way too far into drugs, and his mind was too weak to deal with it all, which ended up with him having one of his famous breakdowns, and they had to record the stripped down, lethargic Smiley Smile in his house. I don't remember who owns the master tapes. Do they even belong to Capitol anymore? Wilson used them to help him remember what he was trying to do while doing his re-recording, and I'm not sure if Capitol had them at that time. |

Late to the party. But have we heard of this? 
Link. Limited Edition USB of 2009 Remastered set. FLAC 44.1 Khz 24 bit and MP3 320 Kbps formats. I've been on a Beatles kick again recently and have been seriously considering getting this, especially since I haven't heard them yet... Until I downloaded them last night in 320 kbps. brb, listening in order. Please Please Me sounds amazing so far. |

I thought it was really cool, but I'm still glad I bought the CD set. _________________ EvilSpace |

Oh yeah, so I don't think I told this story. My friend bought the CD set in stereo from Amazon. But when he got it the Magical Mystery Tour case contained the Help! CD, so he had two of Help! and none of Magical Mystery Tour. He told Amazon about this, and for some reason they refunded him the entire amount and said they'll replace it if he sends the set back in. So of course he just kept it and took the refunded money and bought MMT for $12 or whatever, and now has the entire set (plus and extra copy of Help!) for basically $12. Pretty cool, huh? And he was nice enough to let me "borrow" it. Pure bliss. |

I wonder how common that error was? That set as is, if that error was rare, might end up being worth a good chunk of change some day, or not. _________________ yup, that's my name. FOR YOUR RATING PLEASURE: 4 LIKE Buttons, 1 NEUTRAL, 1 VEXED, 5 DISLIKE buttons. LC > FB

since my last post i bought the mono box set. now i see multiple copies around in stores, so they definitely made a lot more. Pepper is a lot better in mono to me - that is the only one i've really really listened to in mono. my first listens to Revolver and MMT in mono though, i may prefer the stereo versions. _________________ I am Torgo.
