As you may or may not have read, Brian Wilson was obsessed with the song "Shortenin' Bread," so much so, various rock stars have stories to tell about the obsession, including one incident where Iggy Pop and Elton John were hanging out with Brian and Brian played the song so many times in a row, it prompted Iggy to say, “I gotta get outta here, man. This guy is nuts.”
On February 13th, a new boxed set will be released called "We Gotta Groove," which will feature a new remix of "Beach Boys Love You," the first official release of "Adult Child," the aborted follow-up to "Love You," which includes "Shortenin' Bread," as well as 35 unreleased tracks from the "15 Big Ones"/"Love You" era, many newly remixed.
I'm not sure how you feel about these records, but I love them and I am very excited about this box.
If I had to listen to "Shortenin' Bread" over and over, I'll go with The Cramps version.

Iggy, Elton, and Brian in the same room is a strange combo. The Cramps version is appropriately nutty.
When I Get It Right is a favorite of mine from one of Joan Armatrading's best albums. I found the Lloyd Parks at https://kingstonroots.blogspot.com. Looking forward to my first listen. Lastly, thanksfor the sassy Toussaint cover.

Wow for Iggy to say "This guy is nuts" really carries a bunch of weight
