Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.
It is beyond the scope of anybody else's imagination how Brian Wilson composed and pictured and layered and textured and colored and brought life to these incomparable creations. And then added the vocals he was already hearing in his head. I don't believe in God, but I can say God Bless Brian Wilson with all my heart.
Happy B-Day! Here's a 24-Bit 176.4kHz rip of a 2023 all analogue pressing of Anthem From the Sun cut from the original 1968 master tape, courtesy of Mr. Blogmeister at Needle Time:
Mine was last month. Happiest of birthdays to YOU. I'm infinitely fascinated that the most youthful people I know, the quickest witted, are younger by far than the old farts who are considered this season's people. We were so much older then ...
A note about the cover designs (not, I hope, that they need them): The Instrumental image is sorta clouds in the sky, his head in the clouds ... also an X ray image of the album, seeing through to its bare bones arrangements. The A Cappella cover is a montage of That Famous Photograph in a frame cut from a Rauschenberg painting (you knew that) over a photygraph of the original location of That David Hockney Painting, with the Western Recorders frontage slid in behind. This kind of montage was very current in Pop Art at the time, and there's no reason this exact design could not have been possible at the time, given some hip art direction. Compare it to the original Pet Sounds cover.
