This very rare Japanese release was requested months ago when I first featured the chills-inducing track by Hale & The Hushabyes, "Yes Sir, That's My Baby." It is a essentially a collection of Brian Wilson tunes written for other artists, as well as some side projects and productions. There are many gems to be found here, including the tres cool, early version of the Beach Boys' "Darlin'," Sharon Marie's "Thinkin' About You Baby" and Glen Campbell's "Guess I'm Dumb," which to my ears sounds like "Pet Sounds' with lyrics.

Sal, Do you have the Andy Paley sessions? Some incredible songs came out of that and very few have seen the light of day.
thanks for this, sal. always good to revisit these trx.
bobbo
& also thanks for the cool joe jackson covers.
i see there's a "real" boot of the springfield just out or coming out.
NO go on the Paley stuff. Sorry.
Brian Wilson is the best...TIA
Nice one, Sal. Thanks for putting it up.
Sweet! Thanks.
Bruce Handy
This looks tasty!
Will it make me warm?!?
Nice post. Thanks and happy holidays, Sal
Looks like Willard at Never Get Out Of The Boat Redux got the ax. Anyone know the full story?
Sal, great stuff. I once had this on a bootleg Japanese cassette! with notes in Japanese which I can not read, so this is a unrequested Holiday dream come true!
Thanks!
I remember how blown away I was when you first turned me on to 'Guess I'm Dumb'. Can't wait to dig in and see what other treasures await.
Thanks as always.
lookking for some andy williams or lola falana?
I have a VHS copy of "The Liberation Of L.B. Jones." Does that count?
One of my favorites out of BW's entire body of work. A wealth of delights.
Whatever happened to Sharon Marie? She was terrific. Paul Peterson sure couldn't sing, but even his vocal limitations can't drag down a production as effervescent as "She Rides With Me."
Whenever I play "Guess I'm Dumb," I wish Ray Shackleford (of Lewis Shiner's monumental GLIMPSES) could travel back to nudge Brian and Glen to do an entire album together.
A great gift from Sal, highly recommended to any who don't own already own it.
Another classic comp. from the master Zipper himself....Glen Campbell is God...oddly, my two other favorites are Dino, Desi, and Billy and Paul Peterson...is there a connection here?...hope to Christ not !
Took me a little while to get this, but it sure is great.
Listening now... Many thanks, Sal.
