Since their original appearance on AD in 2006 I have had countless requests to re-post this 1967 recording session. So, here it is. I came upon this 1967 rehearsal about five years ago, and it has since become my favorite Beach Boys recording. All very understated and to the point. Besides saying that, I will let the songs speak for themselves. If you’re a fan, grab them now as they will only remain up for 14 days. Cheers.

This is so great. I was just telling a girl, who is “not all that into the Beach Boys”, about these recordings. God only Knows is just heartbreaking on this version.
Thank God for Aquarium Drunkard, this blog is amazing.
