GUEST APPEARANCES
| |||
|
Given The Beach Boys' prodigous output in the sixties, it's amazing that they found time to draw breath, much less guest on anyone else's songs... but as this list amply attests, they did so, in varying combinations, and not invariably in a vocal capacity. As time progressed, their guest appearences became fewer, but, and it's a strange thing, sometimes these later cameos were better that any band work of the period, e.g. "Wishing You Were Here" & "Adios". All contributions are vocal unless noted * [instrumental] or + [vocal and instrumental]. Single sides in italics feature no BB involvement and are included for reference only. Release dates, labels and catalog numbers are those of the country where the song in question was first released - largely, but not invariably, the USA (non US releases are noted as such). The term 'guest appearence' covers a multitude of sins, from the band's very obvious presence on "The Monkey's Uncle" to Brian's all but inaudible contribution to the California Music 45. Also included in this list are guest appearences by the band on each other's solo or side projects, noted by a different background color. Three further observations: this list is without doubt incomplete... some of these cameos were uncredited at the time of release... and some of the alleged guest appearences are disputed by some commentators and historians, and even the participants themselves ! Notably, there is considerable dissention as to exactly which Jan & Dean songs Brian guested on: the information included below comes from Jan & Dean historian Mark A. Moore, taken from his book coveing the sessions of Jan & Dean. Additions, comments and corrections to the usual (email) address, please. | |||

Do It Again ! The Songs Of Brian Wilson Mike - "Please Let Me Wonder" |
|
| |||
|
| Notes | ||
|
1
| On this album, The Beach Boys comprised Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike & David Marks. | ||
|
2
|
Dennis' contribution was inadvertent: Gary Usher reused the then unreleased Four Speeds version, adding a new lead vocal. See note #14 for more detail. | ||
|
3
|
On this album, The Beach Boys comprised Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike & Alan. The version of "Dead Man's Curve" noted on the Jan & Dean album is not the later hit single version. | ||
|
4
|
This was long thought to be the only confirmed released example of Brian & Phil Spector collaborating. Brian played piano at a Spector session for "Don't Hurt My Little Sister", the track later being used for this single, and also for the versions released by Jay & The Americans, and the Supremes - allegedly. However, Jerry Riopelle maintains that, while Phil did cut a basic track with Brian on piano, the version on this record is something he produced. If this is true (and it must be admitted that some of Riopelle's other recollections are questionable), then not only does Brian not appear on this record, but it's not a Spector production either. It's rumored that Brian also played piano "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" on Phil's album A Christmas Gift For You, but it remains unclear wether the take he played on was the one released. This record was a promo only item, and was a rare example of a 7" disc that played at 33 1/3 rpm and wasn't an EP. | ||
|
5
| Allegedly, according to a contemporary article. | ||
|
6
| You thought wrong - Carl played Moog, not guitar. :-) | ||
|
7
|
On this album, The Beach Boys comprised Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Alan & Bruce Johnston. Their participation in the track - Brian excluded - was involuntary, as Brian reused an existing Beach Boys recording. | ||
|
8
| This album version of the song is slightly different to the 45 version. | ||
|
9
| This album version is almost a minute longer than the single, and contains more vocals from Carl & Mike. | ||
|
10
|
There's currently some debate as to wether Brian actually appears on the released version of either of these two titles: while there's no question that he did sing on a session for these songs, both Carmen and Bruce Johnston contend that his contribution was well below par, and that the bvs were subsequently re-recorded. However, the late Curt Becher, who was also present, maintained that Brian was mixed way down on the released versions. Go figure... | ||
|
11
| The A side is the same recording, minus the BB backing vocals. | ||
|
12
| Although uncredited, Brian definitely plays on this track. | ||
