Yeah, if money was the motivation then they've missed the boat there given
the state of the music business. Also it should have come out before Brian's
version, it's impact has been lessened.
Having said that, even with the Brian/Wondermints version, it is well worth
hearing these original recordings. They have an atmosphere and sound that,
for all that they tried to copy the arrangements, simply isn't there in the
new version. I can't believe that most Beach Boys fans aren't excited about
finally having this stuff properly released.
