wagginfinger   10 #1 Posted October 30, 2018 The past 2 Fridays on BBC4 came up with programs both of which lorded the praises of the Good Vibrations by Brian Wilson in making this epic for the Beach Boys--this was crafted by splicing and over laying multi tracks---a feat we were told took some 92 hours This got to reminding me of one of Sheffield's top groups from the 60s/70s Quince Harmon who did this song live to perfection an -absolutely brilliant version also I seem to recall them being regulars on radio 2 with Dave Lee Travis featuring groups daily Final thought when the group finished their first set with A touch of velvet and a sting of brass ------ great times in the clubs---- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Have you ever seen the movie the Wrecking Crew, that gives great insight into the making of Good Vibrations among other great songs? It is on Netflix if you have it. I hope the BBC4 show you saw comes to Canada via You Tube like the one about Paul Carrack did.

Lore has it that their album Pet Sounds affected Lennon and McCartney so much that they buckled down and came up with Sgt Pepper in response.

trans   10 #6 Posted October 31, 2018 Saw Pete after he left Wolves/Quinceharmon/New Jersey Turnpike. Followed them all over Sheffield WMC. Deeply saddened that they did not make it bigger because they were good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mossdog   10 #7 Posted October 31, 2018 Saw Pete after he left Wolves/Quinceharmon/New Jersey Turnpike. Followed them all over Sheffield WMC. Deeply saddened that they did not make it bigger because they were good.........they did not make it any bigger than lots of proficient cover bands,because they did not write their own material..........all the top bands were innovators of one sort or another writing their own material. But like Sheffield group the Vantennas who also did a great cover of Good Vibrations in those days........... just another covers band!

ToyTown Mod   10 #8 Posted November 3, 2018 Ive got a box set of the previously aborted " Smile " album by the Beach Boys and 1 cd , about 70 mins, is totally dedicated to Good Vibrations . they are not all out-takes, most selections were just too long for the final version so never came to light other than on bootlegs or now on the boxed set. Its a real insight to the complex layered build up to the song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ontarian1981 Â Â 10 #11 Posted November 4, 2018 Its not on UK Netflix, sadly. Â That is such a shame, that documentary tells all about the gang of studio musicians who made possible almost every US pop hit of the 60s. The late, great Glen Campbell was one of them before he became a star. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
