it upsets me that some suite at the record label deprived us of this albums official polished release.. i have a bootleg record and it plays perfect follow up to love you
@@dangermuz I think a mix of both. Because the album would’ve been perceived as lacking commercially, they wouldn’t accept it. Also it’s been said that both Mike and Al were against going in that kind of direction musically
Brian Wilson made a come back in 1976-77 briefly before falling back into drugs. This would have been the 3rd of 3 albums. The first was 15 Big Ones which was a terrible album. Mostly cover songs in a very half hearted style. Then they did a synth pop album called Love You. Has a New Wave music vibe and similar to what Daniel Johnston would do in the 80s. I love it! The lyrics are child like and sometimes bad. Adult Child would have been the 3rd album, but it was never finished.
I was given a cassette of this in ‘97 by a fellow Beach Boys fanatic who was about 10 years older than me and had all kinds of alternate Beach Boys music. I played that tape no less than 1,000 times in a single year. I think it’s one of the most fun records they ever made.
Been obsessed with this album for the last year and recently found a vinyl copy of this and I didn’t realize the order of the tracks on the first bootleg are totally different than they were ordered on this video. The songs here flow so perfectly into each other (specifically 2-7), as if they were written with that in mind. Props to the person who put the songs in this order. The RUclips video is honestly better than the actual vinyl in my opinion.
Believe me, some day, when BW has passed on, the record companies will indeed release it to cash in. I wish they would do it while he's still with us and can see how much true fans love his work from this period of his career.
@@brohemian I don't agree with that. Love You scrape's into my top 5 Beach Boys albums at #5 but the other 2 definitely don't. I have 15BO as 18th favourite, I think I'd put Adult/Child ahead of 15BO but not much. Regardless it deserves a big release with the other "Brian's Back" stuff. Heaps of outtakes to release properly too! The Beach Boys have like 31 albums or something.
@@Blend42 Those are the albums I listen to the most the last 5+ yrs. Not sure why, maybe its the whole beach songs > songs transcending existance > back to beach songs full circle meme
This works really well! People make like adult child was more of a thing than it actually was, but running everything together like this is fun, makes it feel more cohesive
This has to be one of if not the greatest discovery I've had related to BB and BW. I absolutely love this material. I wonder if Brian remembers this music, while he's very good at recalling his work, the fact that these are some of his most obscure tracks could maybe catch him off guard.
I remember reading an interview with Brian some time in the mid to late 90’s where this album was brought up, and in so many words Brian stated that this was some of his favorite work. He also said that he was pretty crushed when it was voted down by Mike and Al, and that kind of led to a relapse of sorts. Lots of drinking and drugging.
MIU and KTSA he doesn't remember. To be honest, his clarity of memory mainly revolves around the projects he mainly led himself: Today, Pet Sounds, Smile, Friends, Sunflower, Love You, and Adult/Child, and bits of Carl & the Passions, but it's mostly centered on his affairs at the time.
hey, i just wanted to thank you for making this, as this has got to be by far the best sequencing of this album out there, and really shines light on how special Brian's often overlooked output was around this time.
A good find to start the album with New England Waltz. It brings the listener in the right mood. With so many tracks and musical ideas buzzing around in Brian's head in 1977 it works well to present Adult/Child in the form of a medley, just like Todd Rundgren did on A Wizard A True Star.
The sudden shifts between tracks give these songs far more energy and oomph than I've heard before. A very pleasing presentation. (I love this album, which I think of as the sequel to my favourite Beach Boys' album Love You).
Late to the party here, first time hearing this album… and wow! Why exactly was this shelved? This is *SO MUCH BETTER* than “M.I.U.”. I mean, like no comparison whatsoever. Maybe this wouldn’t have spawned a slew of top ten hits or sold millions of copies overnight, but it’s not as if MIU was a big seller either, and that’s what we got instead of this brilliance. I can’t believe this has been sitting on a shelf for almost half a century now. This really should get a proper release while Brian is still with us.
@@billpotter7162 Such short-sightedness on their part. The album that preceded this (“Love You”) was easily the best of their post-Surf’s Up period, and this would have made the perfect follow-up. I don’t know how they couldn’t see that, unless of course it was just jealousy… but they had made this kind of thing (letting Brian ride out his waves of creativity without interference) work so well in the past. Yes, this album is a bit off-kilter and unconventional, but the same was said about Pet Sounds a decade earlier, and look how that turned out. MIU was almost 100% Mike and Al’s album (mostly the former), and it’s arguably one of the worst Beach Boys albums ever made. One would think that after this much time passed, that little oversight would’ve been acknowledged and compensated by a late release of Adult-Child, but we’re still waiting.
Same story that plagued them their entire career. Anti-artists deeming it 'not commercial.' These people have been proved wrong by time. 'Marketing' in art is a scam.
I'm so happy this is back on youtube. I downloaded it after it got taken down and I've been listening to it non-stop. I dont see this as a recreation, but completion of the album
I'm sorry I just realized how frustrating it might be to hear somebody say that an old bootleg sounds like somebody who intentionally makes his music sound like old bootlegs lol.
I feel exactly the same way. I just heard this for the first time today, and I’m pretty blown away. Of all their second half of the 70’s albums, my favorite by far has always been “Love You”, and this really is the perfect follow-up to it. Instead we got the MIU album? Criminal. This had better get a proper release while Brian is still alive.
This album is beautifully obscure and abstract....a GEM...a work of pure ART...which means naturally I hold Brian Wilson responsible! Along with the album LOVE YOU, (give it a listen IF u love this album!!!)
@@Anonymuse_ Love You is Brian´s first solo album really, he wrote every song and sang on every song. I love it too. Take "Ding dang" out of it then there is not a bad song left.
they hated the title for one plus they didn't think it would be Commercial enough they also recorded a X-mas album in (1977) with Wendy & Carnie both singing on it and they turned it down when it was submitted they didn't say it was bad they just didn't want it. i've heard most of the stuff from it but not all of it i'm not a huge fan of x-mas albums i don't hate them i just tire of the standards that's all but i wish they'd put the album out.
I've been listening to this for 6 hours straight while looking up as much as i can about these recordings, and i think you captured the child like nature of Brian perfectly. This band has been the most fascinating dive ever.
Okay now im positive im at least 1,000 of these views on this video i CANT stop. You knocked this out of the park and so did they and i need it to come out
Can you believe it when I was young I didn’t really care for them. RUclips just sent me a recap of what I have been listening to and The Beach Boys are heavily in rotation.
Never saw the appeal of shortening bread? SONG changed my life brother, I prefer 7 minute version unless I'm working a big job and feeling it I might go the 20 minute version where the opening riff is repeated for the first 7 or 8 minutes lol.
his marriage fell apart because after Landy left the first time Marilyn couldn't deal with the drugs anymore, i can't remember if this is true or not but if i'm wrong by all means please correct me Allegedly Brian offered Cocaine to the girls once and that was it for Marilyn she had enough i can understand that. i can't Remember if Brian ever said if that was true or not it's in his (1991) bio but that apparently is Ghost Written that Brian says he didn't have a damn thing to do with it.
Never knew Calendar Girl was a Beach Boys song, thought it was just Mike´s choice of a cover. Sounds a bit better here than on "Looking back with Love"
How they managed to take something...let's just say "problematic," like Shortenin Bread and turned it into a banger defies all logic and conventional wisdom. I mean dang.
It was an African american folk song, and so were many other songs from that time that people like to make a big deal about. Is rap problematic because they use the slur ?
@@boinkmcbingo8890 I'm assuming the word in question is the n-word. I don't think black rappers using the word is problematic, but I am not black, so my opinion on whether it is problematic doesn't matter. The word belongs to people in the black diaspora, because they are the ones with the painful history of systematic kidnapping, enslavement, rape, murder, and subjugation associated with the word. They can choose to use it however they like. You may disagree, but unless you are black, your opinion on the word's use is not really relevant. I don't mean "you" as in you specifically here; I am using "you" to speak of people generally. This comment is not intended to attack you or start a comment section war. If it sparks one I am going to just ignore it. I'm simply making a good-faith response to the question you posed, "Is rap problematic because they use the slur?" Hopefully, I made you reconsider your perspective.
@@postmanpogger you're completely missing my point which is the people who complain about these songs typically have no problem with rap because they're assuming it's written by white people and focusing on the rhetorical question. Also putting any slur up on a pedestal just gives it more power and thinking someone's race actually matters when taking their opinion in mind seems kinda racist to me. Are you really trying to argue I can't say traditional black songs aren't racist because I'm not black? I highly doubt all black people were saying "let's write these songs because we hate our own race" back then just because they were playing them on banjos. It really speaks on people's own prejudices and lack of knowledge of thier own culture (assuming they're American because if not irdc what you think about our culture) when they just assume these songs are from a place of hate.
Thank you so much for posting this I never heard of it and you really put a good one not there for me to listen to I'm going to really get into it thank you so much
Hi Anonymuse! I'm a relatively new Beach Boys fan and I think your mixes are fantastic! After making a bunch of different SMiLE mixes myself, I am even more exited to hear your version which will almost certainly be the best one out there... I didn't even know about the existence of Adult Child until I heard this mix (again, new fan) but it is of course fantastic! Probably the ultimate tracklisting for this album. However, I don't like the sound quality on a lot of the songs. Many of them have a loud, bass boosted sound with a lot of noise in the background. I am not blaming your mixing skills at all, I just think that there are better sources for files than the ones you used. Also, both "New English Waltz" and "Calendar Girl" have such horrible quality that it really damages the listening experience (in my opinion) and there are no better versions that you can download online. Like you said in the description, the goal for this mix was to make two medleys of sorts where all the songs flow together, and 90% of the time it works wonders. I get that because of the medley goal, you had to be a bit creative at times and "force" a transition where it wasn't needed ("Hey Little Tomboy" to "Games Two Can Play" especially). This was my other (very small) issue with the mix, the forced transitions. I know these are just nitpicks, but I still decided to make my own mix where I try to "fix" the few issues in your mix. In my mix, all of the tracks are as high quality as they get, and the transitions that weren't necessary have been removed. Also, I made some transitions a bit smoother. Here is the mix! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WuCHqPJolqMWifsNj86PurqyOaKkvZas?usp=sharing Now this is not "my own" version, I just tried to refine your version a bit. My mix builds completely on your work (which, again, is amazing) so full credit goes to you. Sorry for rambling, nitpicking and making this comment so long. I felt like it was necessary to explain a bit of my reasoning behind my mix. If you have the time to listen to it I would be very glad! Maybe you could even give me some notes or pointers what to change/improve? Would be very appreciated!
Hey, thanks for the feedback on my work! I completely agree with you on the sound quality of some of the tracks because what can you do when you only have bad bootleg recorded audios right? And the transitions might sound forced on some of them but you know, once I thought about making this I said to myself, what the hell, I'll make two LONG sides that are big medleys and I honestly don't think there isn't a better tracklist that lines up better than this. (Although I haven't looked at your revised version yet, gonna listen to it now and I'll add my thoughts on it) For SMiLE, I am gonna blow everybody's minds. But I will make a community post about it and update everyone on how it's going. (I have good news and bad news). Anyways, welcome to the Beach Boys community, it's really somethin'! EDIT: So I checked it out and the tracking looks more realistic to a possible release for that time, my tracklist was how would I release it if I were them y'know. The thing that bugs me is that when you eliminate one transition on a side it defeats the purpose of the concept so I would either somehow find a way to reorganize it if we are going to eliminate stuff like New Eng Waltz and Calendar Girl; or we could junk the concept, keep your tracklist but make them normal fade-out tracks. It would still flow well together because they are all great songs cobbled into one album. So yeah, it's good! Also I think the bass boosted stuff wasn't that bad last time I listened to my version. However I will say, I have no idea what happened to my SoundCloud upload. Its compressed and bass boosted to hell so if you're talking about that then yeah it's bad but the FLAC files are fine. I could change the audio file if I pay 10€ to SoundCloud but unfortunately I don't have that kind of money right now. (Don't ask, I live in a country where that amount is worth a lot 😂)
Yeah I agree with you, it's not really a concept anymore when you remove just a couple of the transitions, which I though about as well. On the other hand, I still think it works very well even if just some of songs flow together. If you think about it, this is exactly what Smile (sessions) does where there are 3 or 4 songs at a time stitched together as medleys or "movements". I think especially "Lines" - "Everybody Wants To Live" work together extremely well, along with "Games Two Can Play" - "Winds Of Change", while the rest of the songs work great as standalone. This way, Adult Child consists of half regular songs and half medleys, at the end of each side ("Everybody Wants To Live" would probably be a fantastic end to side A...). So my opinion is that this tracklisting also works well, but I can absolutely see your point about re-arranging some stuff. About the audio quality, I was actually talking about the FLAC files, not the soundcloud believe it or not ;) As I said most of it sounds fine, but specifically these songs (Shortenin' Bread, Everybody Wants To Live, On Broadway, Deep Purple, Help Is On The Way and Still I Dream Of It) have a lot of white noise, and have generally lesser audio quality than the other songs. All the songs I listed are "Adult Child" originals since they don't appear on any other album. Because of that you have to get them from rips and bootlegs, with mediocre quality to begin with. The ones I found however are (surprisingly) really clean and high res. So the biggest reason I made "my" mix to begin with was actually the sound quality, the rest of your mix was already near perfect. Anyways Adult Child aside, I am beyond hyped for your Smile mix! And don't work if you feel burnt out, a project this huge is not something you would want to rush and the wait will surely be worth it in the end no matter the time it takes!
Is Brian singing like how Carl does, in the most beginning part? When it gets to the baseball parts, sounds like Dennis too. Did Brian just have that much range?!
Brian's obsession with the song "Shortnin' Bread" borders on sickness. First he turned it into "Ding Dang" for "Love You", then actually recorded it and it ended up on "LA Album".
thanks so much for your work on this! Are you the one that posted the abridged version of the album a while back, without Hey Little Tomboy, Shortenin Bread, Calendar Girl, On Broadway, or My Diane? I loved that sequence, so curious if it still exists anywhere :)
Heh, I probably should've spread more awareness about my new HQ scans of the bootleg sleeve when I made 'em, it was kinda the only reason I bought a copy of it.
Thank you for this 😁 I have a request which may be annoying. Please can you consider mixing it so it isn't a medley too as listening to the singular tracks can be jarring with how they suddenly start and end. I know you're doing SMiLE so of course do it when you have the time but it'd be nice to have. Thank you
Again I know I’m late to the party with this, but after having recently ‘discovered’ this album a couple of months ago I was finally able to obtain a bootleg vinyl copy, and much to my dismay I noticed that three of the songs included here in this upload are curiously missing from the record I’m now holding in my hand. The missing songs are “New English Waltz Pt. 1”, “Calendar Girl”, and “Our Team”. I do realize that it’s merely a bootleg, nothing official, and as is often the case with bootlegs there are several different sources, and given that fact there are often discrepancies. However according to everything I’ve researched online regarding Adult/Child, the track listing on my record is the most common one. I suppose my question for the uploader is “What’s the story with those three extra songs?”
Would someone release this on Spotify jeese... So much better than the MIU crap they settled on. Should have kicked Mike Love out of the band. Beach Boys is Brian's band
My guess is in around 2 years they'll do a Beach Boys Love You or "Brian's Back!" Box set that will include Adult/Child which will basically bring the unreleased album to spotify. It will be great to hear all of the Adult/Child songs sounding clear and crisp!
Hey is there a chance you have these songs as individual files for download? I'd like to be able to put them on my spotify as local files on my computer and it'd be nice to have the individual songs. Great work here, this is really awesome.
This really shows how much the band could've benefitted from better track-order and effort to make albums a whole experience instead of just individual songs. Obviously stuff like Pet Sounds did this but a lot of their later work is super scattered
Is there any way I can get a copy that doesn't involve having to Unzip RAR? My computer either seems to not allow me to do so or it crashes when I open files. If there is a point of contact could i request a WeTransfer or something? Thank you my friend!

Seriously an amazing transition. Life!!!!!

Same with the transition between Calendar Girl and Lines. They really put some thought into how it'd sound when played through, not just fading out.
And the transition between Lines and Shortenin' Bread 😄
The Beach Boys are my favorite band but I'd never heard of this till tonight, reeling. It's like I just discovered them again.

his marriage fell apart because after Landy left the first time Marilyn couldn't deal with the drugs anymore, i can't remember if this is true or not but if i'm wrong by all means please correct me Allegedly Brian offered Cocaine to the girls once and that was it for Marilyn she had enough i can understand that. i can't Remember if Brian ever said if that was true or not it's in his (1991) bio but that apparently is Ghost Written that Brian says he didn't have a damn thing to do with it.
Never knew Calendar Girl was a Beach Boys song, thought it was just Mike´s choice of a cover. Sounds a bit better here than on "Looking back with Love"
I think it is a cover of Neil Sedaka's song, but a great version of it.
@@Anonymuse_ I meant that the Beach Boys recorded it first, before Mike did. I know Neil Sedaka did it in the early 60´s.
Love it. Paired with Love You, it would have made a real good double album.
God bless Brian Wilson
This is so well done! Thank You!
How they managed to take something...let's just say "problematic," like Shortenin Bread and turned it into a banger defies all logic and conventional wisdom. I mean dang.
I didn't know it was a problematic song until now. I just looked at the original lyrics. Yikes...
Still a banger though!
It was an African american folk song, and so were many other songs from that time that people like to make a big deal about. Is rap problematic because they use the slur ?
@@Anonymuse_Yowser!
@@boinkmcbingo8890 I'm assuming the word in question is the n-word. I don't think black rappers using the word is problematic, but I am not black, so my opinion on whether it is problematic doesn't matter.
The word belongs to people in the black diaspora, because they are the ones with the painful history of systematic kidnapping, enslavement, rape, murder, and subjugation associated with the word. They can choose to use it however they like. You may disagree, but unless you are black, your opinion on the word's use is not really relevant.
I don't mean "you" as in you specifically here; I am using "you" to speak of people generally. This comment is not intended to attack you or start a comment section war. If it sparks one I am going to just ignore it. I'm simply making a good-faith response to the question you posed, "Is rap problematic because they use the slur?" Hopefully, I made you reconsider your perspective.
@@postmanpogger you're completely missing my point which is the people who complain about these songs typically have no problem with rap because they're assuming it's written by white people and focusing on the rhetorical question. Also putting any slur up on a pedestal just gives it more power and thinking someone's race actually matters when taking their opinion in mind seems kinda racist to me. Are you really trying to argue I can't say traditional black songs aren't racist because I'm not black? I highly doubt all black people were saying "let's write these songs because we hate our own race" back then just because they were playing them on banjos. It really speaks on people's own prejudices and lack of knowledge of thier own culture (assuming they're American because if not irdc what you think about our culture) when they just assume these songs are from a place of hate.
You are a saint for making this
The best sequence in part because it omits HLT
You did everything perfectly & I love it❤
Ive only listed to the first few songs, this sound like a proper follow up to love you.
An A/C medley! I love it!
I'm too obsessed
Thank you so much for posting this I never heard of it and you really put a good one not there for me to listen to I'm going to really get into it thank you so much
Not sure about quite a lot of tracks here (life is for living is dodgy as hell but weirdly addictive) but I've always had a soft spot for Our Team.
Hi Anonymuse!
I'm a relatively new Beach Boys fan and I think your mixes are fantastic! After making a bunch of different SMiLE mixes myself, I am even more exited to hear your version which will almost certainly be the best one out there...
I didn't even know about the existence of Adult Child until I heard this mix (again, new fan) but it is of course fantastic! Probably the ultimate tracklisting for this album. However, I don't like the sound quality on a lot of the songs. Many of them have a loud, bass boosted sound with a lot of noise in the background. I am not blaming your mixing skills at all, I just think that there are better sources for files than the ones you used. Also, both "New English Waltz" and "Calendar Girl" have such horrible quality that it really damages the listening experience (in my opinion) and there are no better versions that you can download online.
Like you said in the description, the goal for this mix was to make two medleys of sorts where all the songs flow together, and 90% of the time it works wonders. I get that because of the medley goal, you had to be a bit creative at times and "force" a transition where it wasn't needed ("Hey Little Tomboy" to "Games Two Can Play" especially). This was my other (very small) issue with the mix, the forced transitions.
I know these are just nitpicks, but I still decided to make my own mix where I try to "fix" the few issues in your mix. In my mix, all of the tracks are as high quality as they get, and the transitions that weren't necessary have been removed. Also, I made some transitions a bit smoother.
Here is the mix!

Now this is not "my own" version, I just tried to refine your version a bit. My mix builds completely on your work (which, again, is amazing) so full credit goes to you.
Sorry for rambling, nitpicking and making this comment so long. I felt like it was necessary to explain a bit of my reasoning behind my mix. If you have the time to listen to it I would be very glad! Maybe you could even give me some notes or pointers what to change/improve? Would be very appreciated!
Hey, thanks for the feedback on my work! I completely agree with you on the sound quality of some of the tracks because what can you do when you only have bad bootleg recorded audios right? And the transitions might sound forced on some of them but you know, once I thought about making this I said to myself, what the hell, I'll make two LONG sides that are big medleys and I honestly don't think there isn't a better tracklist that lines up better than this. (Although I haven't looked at your revised version yet, gonna listen to it now and I'll add my thoughts on it)
For SMiLE, I am gonna blow everybody's minds. But I will make a community post about it and update everyone on how it's going. (I have good news and bad news).
Anyways, welcome to the Beach Boys community, it's really somethin'!
EDIT: So I checked it out and the tracking looks more realistic to a possible release for that time, my tracklist was how would I release it if I were them y'know. The thing that bugs me is that when you eliminate one transition on a side it defeats the purpose of the concept so I would either somehow find a way to reorganize it if we are going to eliminate stuff like New Eng Waltz and Calendar Girl; or we could junk the concept, keep your tracklist but make them normal fade-out tracks. It would still flow well together because they are all great songs cobbled into one album. So yeah, it's good!
Also I think the bass boosted stuff wasn't that bad last time I listened to my version. However I will say, I have no idea what happened to my SoundCloud upload. Its compressed and bass boosted to hell so if you're talking about that then yeah it's bad but the FLAC files are fine. I could change the audio file if I pay 10€ to SoundCloud but unfortunately I don't have that kind of money right now. (Don't ask, I live in a country where that amount is worth a lot 😂)
Yeah I agree with you, it's not really a concept anymore when you remove just a couple of the transitions, which I though about as well. On the other hand, I still think it works very well even if just some of songs flow together. If you think about it, this is exactly what Smile (sessions) does where there are 3 or 4 songs at a time stitched together as medleys or "movements". I think especially "Lines" - "Everybody Wants To Live" work together extremely well, along with "Games Two Can Play" - "Winds Of Change", while the rest of the songs work great as standalone. This way, Adult Child consists of half regular songs and half medleys, at the end of each side ("Everybody Wants To Live" would probably be a fantastic end to side A...).
So my opinion is that this tracklisting also works well, but I can absolutely see your point about re-arranging some stuff.
About the audio quality, I was actually talking about the FLAC files, not the soundcloud believe it or not ;)
As I said most of it sounds fine, but specifically these songs (Shortenin' Bread, Everybody Wants To Live, On Broadway, Deep Purple, Help Is On The Way and Still I Dream Of It) have a lot of white noise, and have generally lesser audio quality than the other songs. All the songs I listed are "Adult Child" originals since they don't appear on any other album. Because of that you have to get them from rips and bootlegs, with mediocre quality to begin with. The ones I found however are (surprisingly) really clean and high res. So the biggest reason I made "my" mix to begin with was actually the sound quality, the rest of your mix was already near perfect.
Anyways Adult Child aside, I am beyond hyped for your Smile mix! And don't work if you feel burnt out, a project this huge is not something you would want to rush and the wait will surely be worth it in the end no matter the time it takes!
❤❤❤
Thank you man, i really want to hear your smile mix once its done.
just want to say I APPRECIATE YOU!
this album fills me with melancholy but I love it
Much better than Love You. Melodically and vocally more impressive. They need to release this.
Currently listening to Shortenin’ Bread for the first time as I’m writing this comment: I feel my brain chemistry changing
Same. This is some sublime ear candy!!!
EARWORM
PUT ON THE SKILLET!!!!
Awesome [again] Sauce 👍
Incredible
Life is for the Living - The Beach Boys (Beach Men?) in Vegas, baby!
one side is better than none :) (it's my favorite by the way)
Brian es Eterno su música siempre sonará en La Vía Láctea y más allá ❤🎉
I have this bootleg on vinyl ❤❤❤
Where can one find such a thing?
I agree with @@yungjabels4182 , where!
does it have better audio quality? some have a horrible quality.
@@dmer-zy3rb It probably has worse audio quality. The person who made this version did a lot of work fixing the tracks up.
I didn't do a good job looking back at it, I've improved a lot over the years and I think I wanna do this again and do it properly.
Hooray for Amonymuse!🎉
it’s a incrediable stronger album than the light album… such a shame . certainly glad the material is out but not officially ya know ?
Ridiculous that they decided to not release this, spme of Brian's best work
Who’s here from the Mr. Beat video
I come here every day
Momma's little baby loves shortnin shortnin
Brian is a genius. And Anonymuse, you are a genius too!
Let's not get carried away, he mixed this in Audacity lol
Is Brian singing like how Carl does, in the most beginning part? When it gets to the baseball parts, sounds like Dennis too. Did Brian just have that much range?!
That's just Carl and Dennis.
King Wilson
Brian's obsession with the song "Shortnin' Bread" borders on sickness. First he turned it into "Ding Dang" for "Love You", then actually recorded it and it ended up on "LA Album".
Exceptional stuff!
Ele, Brian Wilson, poderia trabalhar nesse projeto como fez com o smile!
Amazing work! But wheres side 2?
"On Broadway" is like "The way you make me feel" of Michael Jackson
thanks so much for your work on this! Are you the one that posted the abridged version of the album a while back, without Hey Little Tomboy, Shortenin Bread, Calendar Girl, On Broadway, or My Diane? I loved that sequence, so curious if it still exists anywhere :)
Um no that wasn't me. But I remember seeing that as well.
Heh, I probably should've spread more awareness about my new HQ scans of the bootleg sleeve when I made 'em, it was kinda the only reason I bought a copy of it.
Thank you for this 😁 I have a request which may be annoying. Please can you consider mixing it so it isn't a medley too as listening to the singular tracks can be jarring with how they suddenly start and end. I know you're doing SMiLE so of course do it when you have the time but it'd be nice to have. Thank you
Alright, I'll do it once I finish SMiLE.
@@Anonymuse_ Thank you very much🙏😁
Dis 'sho am good!
No wonder is was never released - jeez
Come on, this shit rocks!
if you love the beach and hate the boys then this album ain’t for you
They should have released this!!!
Again I know I’m late to the party with this, but after having recently ‘discovered’ this album a couple of months ago I was finally able to obtain a bootleg vinyl copy, and much to my dismay I noticed that three of the songs included here in this upload are curiously missing from the record I’m now holding in my hand. The missing songs are “New English Waltz Pt. 1”, “Calendar Girl”, and “Our Team”.
I do realize that it’s merely a bootleg, nothing official, and as is often the case with bootlegs there are several different sources, and given that fact there are often discrepancies. However according to everything I’ve researched online regarding Adult/Child, the track listing on my record is the most common one.
I suppose my question for the uploader is “What’s the story with those three extra songs?”
🔥
Why is there a picture of CWC here
GOD WHY HASNT THIS BEEN OFFICIALY RELEASED
Great mix ! Are you able to post a version without the songs linked to each other ?
Don't sit on your ass smoking grass..haw haw haw
Great channel name!
Thank you!
thank you!!
Would someone release this on Spotify jeese... So much better than the MIU crap they settled on. Should have kicked Mike Love out of the band. Beach Boys is Brian's band
My guess is in around 2 years they'll do a Beach Boys Love You or "Brian's Back!" Box set that will include Adult/Child which will basically bring the unreleased album to spotify. It will be great to hear all of the Adult/Child songs sounding clear and crisp!
La Mejor Banda del Planeta son The Beach Boys !
awesomeee
Hey is there a chance you have these songs as individual files for download? I'd like to be able to put them on my spotify as local files on my computer and it'd be nice to have the individual songs. Great work here, this is really awesome.
I haven't seperated the tracks one by one but I can send you the download file once I do it; and thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Here you go, enjoy!
@@Anonymuse_ thanks man!
Proto signalwave.
This really shows how much the band could've benefitted from better track-order and effort to make albums a whole experience instead of just individual songs. Obviously stuff like Pet Sounds did this but a lot of their later work is super scattered
Is there any way I can get a copy that doesn't involve having to Unzip RAR? My computer either seems to not allow me to do so or it crashes when I open files. If there is a point of contact could i request a WeTransfer or something? Thank you my friend!
