This is the best stereo version I've heard. Awesome work, man. I'd give a billion likes if I could. This'll do for me. Great job... thanks very much for the upload!
the deaf ear was only a minor reason. Back then, mono was the main usage in radio. Most people listened to music while cruising in their car. At the time, car radios were only mono. Another reason was that Brian wanted the listener to hear exactly what he heard and wanted them to hear. With stereo tracks, listeners could hook their home stereo speakers up differently to get a different sound.
THis classic needs absolutely no introduction whatsoever. ONe of the greatest records of all time from truly one of the greatest albums ever, Pet Sounds. Good Vibrations was yet another masterpiece by the great Brian Wilson, it topped the UK charts for 2 weeks in November 1966 but only spent 1 week at No.1 in America during December 1966. It was so good that it came back again in 1976, however, this absolute masterpiece was UK's No.14 for 1966.
with studio head phones, the intro to this song is the best sound ever. ever. This is the best stereo version I've heard. Awesome work, man. I'd give a billion likes if I could.
1st, This is the best stereo version I have heard so far. Great Job. 2nd, Your mix sounds better than the official 2012 stereo mix from the 2012 mono - stereo Smiley Smiles CD. .
When I was born, my dad heard this on radio. It's funny coincidence that when my younger sister was born, my dad heard Beach Boys again on the radio. This song gives me power whenever I feel life is too hard.
best version I've heard ,Mark Linett was so talented indeed ,great man at the consoles,this sounds so good it could well have been the original release,great work and great credit to you . guradh milea mhat aguth....
Superb!! can't believe the clarity and enhanced vocals - the drums sound fantastic - in fact the track sounds amazing - the bass line sounds incredible - pure quality.
Tis very true. I am not talking about the lead vocals. They are in mono here. Take Brian's 2004 GV, apply the "remove vocals" and this leaves the background vocals. Then, apply the same technique to this version. Take a snippet of the background vocals from the '04 GV and put it on one channel and take a snippet of the background vocals from this version and apply to the other channel. Voila!
The song was taken to an elite level by the backing provided by the "Wrecking Crew" who backed the Beach Boys on most of their hits during that period. The brilliant switch to a highly innovative (for the time) walking bass line by the amazing Carole Kaye added the excitement to the arrangement, complimented by drummer hal Blaine who worked with carole on literally thousands of top selling hits of the 60's and beyond (more than 10,000 in all)
The first official stereo release will be on the upcoming SMiLE release - November 1st. Track 22 of CD5 of the box set is "Good Vibrations (Single Version - Stereo)". Unfortunately you have to buy the full box set in order to get it. The regular version only comes with discs 1 and 2, and the full box set is $700 !
The Smiley Smile Mono/Stereo remaster that is coming out in September, but was already released in Japan. It is the paring with the stereo backing track but it sounds really good. There's a sample of it on EMI Japans' website.
Ok, finally did some more listening and the isolated vocals are from Brian Wilson's 2004 SMiLE GV track. Recognized some bits from the track in this track.
Sounds fantastic to me! Covered by (& a Top 40 hit for) Todd Rundgren in 1976 on his "Faithful" album in 1976. I put this and another cover by (of all people!) The Chambers Brothers in my Rundgren playlist. Thanks for your work! 3-29-17
it takes a real genious like the beach boys to come up w/ this song! real musicians can accomplish great hits just like this song!!! way to go brian wilson and the rest of the beach boys!!!
@IHeartMikeLove It may have them on different channels but it is not a real stereo version with real stereo vocals. It is easy to cut and paste vocals here and there. Anyone could cut and paste a vocal section on the left channel, then cut and paste a different vocal section on the right channel. After OOPSing, you can clearly hear this along with reEQing, added reverb, and the slapback echo caused by improper syncing of duplicate material.
@Droyd21 The instrument used was not actually a theremin but an electro-theremin aka as a Tannerin. It was created by Paul Tanner to be like a theremin.
The original stereo track vocal was erased but the stereo music track survived. With some tricky manoeuvring the mono vocal track was matched up to the stereo track on the 2012 release. Put on headphones & you can hear this. But this version is dynamite!
@1olrocker - Understand where you're coming from although Brian's hearing problem necessitated him creating what he wanted us to hear monophonically and it's perhaps more a question of taste. It's easy to get carried away with embellishing the original and it's not always necessary to hear EVERYTHING that's going on but this is fun to listen to. It's a bit like using every color in a painting with the same degree of vividness. A magnificent piece of pop music which was so ahead of its time.
@supah1337B I believe ya man! lol...I remember listening to Johny B Goode and getting so pumped....I used to imitate Marty Mcfly from Back to the Future when he did that solo on his back lol
years ago ,before MTV was on the air. had to be 81 or 82 i saw a video on TV, of this song where the group was clowning around a Los Angeles Fire station, flashing to scenes of a young dark haired woman with a sally field Gidget hairdo bouncing a B-ball. it was shot in black and white and had to have been done in the mid 60's has anybody else seen this .
Nice mix but hearing them in person at the Galvin Center in Salt Lake City, Utah and being able to reach out and shake their hand can never be beat! Second time seeing them there. First time San Diego, Calif.
@oshawaxpress Actually, Brian's hearing had nothing to do with him doing all of the work in mono. Back then, the major market was AM radio, which was and still is in mono. Also, people with stereo record players at home could arrange the speakers in different ways to change a stereo record. Brian wanted the listeners to hear what he heard, thus he dubbed it all down to mono.
This version is on an various artist compilation called 'Radio 192 - The radio's on - 40 echte radio hits' from 2002. Rumors sad that while recording the album 'Holland' Carl or Brian Wilson forget a tape. At any case Carl hit a fence and a tree with his lease Mercedes in Hilversum. By the way radio hits is incorrect Dutch, iy is radiohits.
@enrimt : The three Wilson brothers's father was beating them and I head that Brian Wilson, during one of these scenes, lost the use of an ear. He can't ear the stereo sounds and used to mix in mono. If somebody could confirm...
Yeah I agree, Chorus 1A, too much compression, everything is like put back aside while perc/drums are too loud, fix that part at: 0,26 It went from too much reverb to too much compression!
@supah1337B haha that was actually the funny thing about that movie...he happened to be playing the same song that Chuck Berry wrote but the year they were in, he didnt officially "write it" yet haha.....that would be like one of us going back in time before the discovery of fire and bringing a lighter with us to burn wood lol
@apolloglass99 Dennis played the organ in the soft middle section of this song. Some people are trying to rewrite history and say the session players played everything on everything. There are many examples of BB songs on which Dennis played and sang and on which they all played and sang. It would have been great to see a fit and muscular 60 year old Dennis playing and drumming and writing, but it wasn't to be. He and Carl are forever inspirations, though.
For some time this has been my fave stereo remix of Good Vibs having listened to all I could find on UA-cam, I have now made an mp3 copy of your latest too, perhaps it will become my new fave, but so far I like this older version better. I would like IHeartMikeLove to explain where and how the new version is better, what to listen out for. I read elsewhere IHeartMikeLover spent 3 months re mixing the new one, so I await his expertise for an answer.
I have this on a World Records set which were renound for using wrong versions and electric stereo..The track on WR states it is stereo which well, it sounds good and not as bad as some electric fake stereo, it sounds more 'wide mono'. I would down load it but I cannot compare it to some nice varitions already here.
@IHeartMikeLove Carol Kaye in a recent interview said that it's just a myth that Brian burnt some of the SMiLE master tapes, but I'm beginning to think that the masters for Good Vibrations were in fact lost at some point. The stereo backing track that has been released is not the same instrumental track that's used in the final single version, and the song has never been remastered into stereo in all the years it's been released.
The vocals are not real stereo. They are mono vocals that have been panned across the stereo spectrum. I worked extensively on GV making a so called stereo version by using tracks from the 30 Years boxe, PS Sessions box, Unsurpassed Masters GV box, and the Hawthorne Ca 2 disc set. No stereo vocals exist no matter what.
Yeah, I know some stereo vocals exist from some of the albums that they are going to redo in stereo but it seems that Capitol just doesn't want to do the extra work.
Give it another five or ten years. Software will be evolved enough to extract every little chord and tone and turn a clean mono into a true stereo and 5.1.
Is it just me or does this version of the song seem to roll along a little more smoothly? I mean, this gave me the shivers!!! love it!
This is the best stereo version I've heard. Awesome work, man. I'd give a billion likes if I could.
This'll do for me. Great job... thanks very much for the upload!

ever.
7 years ago and the audio sounds decently cleaned up. Not gonna lie, that's impressive.
Certainly the best version I've ever heard.
The Beatles is my favourite band since I was 6 and I don't know nearly anything 'bout BB, but this song is one of the best of all times.
That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my life.
Bloddy brilliant. God the Beach Boys themselves should listen to this.
Perfect full dmension stereo remix!!! Fantastic drums sound too!!
Superb!! can't believe the clarity and enhanced vocals - the drums sound fantastic - in fact the track sounds amazing - the bass line sounds incredible - pure quality.
One of the best songs ever! I'm happy to have the youth and lived the time to hear this on the radio.
Great idea for a background to this.
This version is absolutely incredible great work
It's a rare full version. We heard the fade-out a little early. So thanks for sharing this versoin and showing dfferent trackings.
This'll do for me. Great job... thanks very much for the upload!
Sounds great -- love hearing the tom tom and the Jew's harp during the bridge. The build-up to the close that starts at about 3:15 is fantastic.
This version is absolutely incredible great work
Fantastic mix. I am deeply impressed-listen to it with headphones, it's fantastic!
best version by far..great job, thanks
I owned a recording studio for a while. I've done work like this. It's tough and time demanding. Ignore all the negative comments. Nice effort!
You should make a version with the extended bridge
You did a terrific job on this,
exceptional work, thanks for having the passion!

I am amazed you were able to sync the tracks up. I had speed issues myself. I hate the morons that make a Duophonic mix and pass it on as stereo
Ah!! My old friend yes je ressens de bonnes vibrations... c'est bientôt que tu me dit tout .... ❤💕
The Smiley Smile Mono/Stereo remaster that is coming out in September, but was already released in Japan. It is the paring with the stereo backing track but it sounds really good. There's a sample of it on EMI Japans' website.
Love the Pro Tools screen background -- funny and very cool. Decent mix, too.
just listen to that chord on 2:53. absolutely one of the most gorgeous chords i've ever listened to. gives me the goosebumps too!
I'm a metalhead, but I listened to the oldies station alot when I was younger when my mom would take me to school, I always liked this song!
Great job, only Good Vibrations in it!! Thank you very much Sir.
Such a good song and very nice audio!!!
I love the cellos playing triplets.
Ok, finally did some more listening and the isolated vocals are from Brian Wilson's 2004 SMiLE GV track. Recognized some bits from the track in this track.

rediculously awesome rework/remaster....supakleen
Great job! Still very good music after all these years!
it takes a real genious like the beach boys to come up w/ this song! real musicians can accomplish great hits just like this song!!! way to go brian wilson and the rest of the beach boys!!!

Great sound really high quality
Holy crap. This is pretty good
# 41 on my top 100 songs of the 60's. One of 5 Beach Boys songs on the list.
MrMotownmanny 41? Wow, I personally would have it much higher. What are your Top 10?
MrMotownmanny Only 5 Beach Boys songs on the list?
@Droyd21 The instrument used was not actually a theremin but an electro-theremin aka as a Tannerin. It was created by Paul Tanner to be like a theremin.
Awesome song for humanity of all ages!
OUTSTANDING! Thank you, for the memories.....
The original stereo track vocal was erased but the stereo music track survived. With some tricky manoeuvring the mono vocal track was
matched up to the stereo track on the 2012 release. Put on headphones & you can hear this. But this version is dynamite!
Superb job man!!!

It's a bit like using every color in a painting with the same degree of vividness. A magnificent piece of pop music which was so ahead of its time.
Is there any way you can release this with only the vocals?
I’m getting Regular Show vibes from this. And it’s pretty nice 😁
@supah1337B I believe ya man! lol...I remember listening to Johny B Goode and getting so pumped....I used to imitate Marty Mcfly from Back to the Future when he did that solo on his back lol

Capitolemiproducer has got this real 360 degree mix you also gotta listen to. It took him 3 weeks to mix it
Número, 1 de las ventas de discos, año 1967.
Always get a little choked up when it hits the organ part. I imagine it to be the part where they get married...
who do you mean by ''they''?
#26 best songs of the 60s Beach Boys: Good Vibrations top 300
The instruments.........holy crap.......I can hear it all!
Excellent! Thanks for share it!
Nice mix but hearing them in person at the Galvin Center in Salt Lake City, Utah and being able to reach out and shake their hand can never be beat! Second time seeing them there. First time San Diego, Calif.
This is fabulous. Just stunning. You should contact Capitol and offer your creation to them.
@Adema1226 the box set is only 170 on amazon, the 700 is the box set but it lights up and it's signed
Sounds like I remember growing up blasting on our trips❤
@oshawaxpress Actually, Brian's hearing had nothing to do with him doing all of the work in mono. Back then, the major market was AM radio, which was and still is in mono.

If somebody could confirm...
Untrue. According to his mother Brian was deaf in one ear from birth.
Grayham Cane I thought he was hit by a baseball bat in the ear, making him half deaf.
Great idea for a background to this.
Unreal !!!!!!
one song that could really benefit from this kinda thing is heroes and villains i think. it sounds so flat, it needs livening up
Yeah I agree, Chorus 1A, too much compression, everything is like put back aside while perc/drums are too loud, fix that part at: 0,26 It went from too much reverb to too much compression!
But otherwise, awesome piece of work!
Wait what? I thought Heroes & Villains was mixed quite well. Which version are you referring to, there's a few
@supah1337B haha that was actually the funny thing about that movie...he happened to be playing the same song that Chuck Berry wrote but the year they were in, he didnt officially "write it" yet haha.....that would be like one of us going back in time before the discovery of fire and bringing a lighter with us to burn wood lol
@1979mackdriver Yeah rumor has it that the first part was going to be the video to the SMiLE track Fire (Mrs. O'Leary's Cow)
@apolloglass99 Dennis played the organ in the soft middle section of this song. Some people are trying to rewrite history and say the session players played everything on everything.

This is the closest we could actually get to having a stereo mix of this classic!!
BRAVO!!
i love it
Rick and roll masterpiece with sleigh bells……..the rest of us would never come up with that!
Im not from this generation but this song was just pure genius. This band was the American version of the Beatles
What I really want is the 25+ minute edit of all the segments that made up the song. I miss that bootleg...
@TheKillerCliche that sound is soo cool!
1:45 in the right pan. Is that Jew's Harp through some sort of resonant filter? Never noticed it before.
Oh! Yes. keep up loading those STEREO Beach Boys, and others. We must meet somehow as far as stereo beach boys go. Thats all I'm saying for now.
I also wanted to say, Your Good Vib's Mix Sounds Better than The Official 2012 Mix.
tolle Musik!
The vocals are not real stereo. They are mono vocals that have been panned across the stereo spectrum. I worked extensively on GV making a so called stereo version by using tracks from the 30 Years boxe, PS Sessions box, Unsurpassed Masters GV box, and the Hawthorne Ca 2 disc set. No stereo vocals exist no matter what.
The official stereo version from the Japan only remaster supposedly sounds great. I wish I could hear it but the price is crazy to get it imported.
Yeah, I know some stereo vocals exist from some of the albums that they are going to redo in stereo but it seems that Capitol just doesn't want to do the extra work.
Fantastic - best stereo mix of the vocals ever! Have you posted this somewhere in a lossless format like FLAC?
Give it another five or ten years. Software will be evolved enough to extract every little chord and tone and turn a clean mono into a true stereo and 5.1.
it's been 6 years, we sadly don't have that
@@ImaginationMeme I’d say we’ve gotten closer though with open source stuff like Spleeter allowing people to separate tracks more freely
Sweet! Not sure how much I'm asking of you here but, any chance of a vocals only version?
