Over The Waves: The Beach Boys Release Copyright Extension EP "1969: I'm Going Your Way"

December 27, 2019 By Sam Stone 7 Comments

DOWNLOAD FROM AMAZON.COM

We interrupt our holiday hiatus for this special report...

Following the band's wide-reaching copyright extension releases the last few years, Beach Boys fans have been expecting some rarities vintage 1969 to enjoy as the year wraps up.  Today, Capitol/UMG quietly released 1969: I'm Going Your Way, this year's digital-only round-up of rarities but fans will no doubt be disappointed by its limited scope.

While 2018 saw the release of three albums' worth of rare material (On Tour: 1968 , Wake the World: The Friends Sessions, and I Can Hear Music: The 20/20 Sessions), this year's Beach Boys copyright extension equals out to little more than a single.  The three-track release kicks off with an alternate vocal version of the 1970 Dennis Wilson outtake "I'm Going Your Way" from the Sunflower sessions.  Another Dennis Wilson Sunflower track, "Slip On Through," is represented by an early instrumental take that's more psychedelic than the album cut.  The collection closes out with a madcap run-through of composer Juventino Rosas' 1888 waltz "Carnival (Over the Waves)" which was once considered for Sunflower.  Though a rough one-minute version has circulated before, 1969: I'm Going Your Way officially premieres the complete 2:43 take, whether you wanted it or not.

Given the brevity of 1969: I'm Going Your Way compared to the comprehensive sets of years passed, we're left to wonder what might happen to the other Sunflower-era material that BRI would normally collect on this sort of release.  Could a larger physical box set be on the way?  Well, we at The Second Disc HQ usually wait for official confirmation, but fans are reporting around the 'net that both Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston have mentioned an upcoming collection of Sunflower and Surf's Up material possibly due in the new year.  Anything can happen and so much can change, but we're crossing our fingers for a deep dive in a physical format into that fertile, transitional period of The Beach Boys' career.  While we wait and see, this strangely delightful if frustratingly brief EP will have to do.

1969: I'm Going Your Way is available now on streaming services and digital download providers. You can listen to it in the Spotify widget below, or follow the links to your preferred service.

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.

    This is just a precursor to the main event...the FEEL FLOWS box set. Apparently it's coming out as early as February 2020. It's covering the SUNFLOWER-SURF'S UP era.

    It would be nice to see reissues of Beach Boy albums with annotated comprehensive alternative, unreleased material. Sunflower would be a nice place to start. The Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunflower_(Beach_Boys_album)) shows what might be the basis of a multi-disk release. Fingers crossed, I look forward with hope.

    Per their fan club notice - "We’re also anticipating a multi-disc box set release in 2020, consisting of Sunflower/Surf’s Up era material." .. now that would be incredible .. hopefully some in surround sound .. all I need now to make me extra happy is news of a box set for that other incredible 1970 LP "Bridge over troubled water" .. here's hoping.

    Happy New Year to you Sam . .and please keep up the good work ..

      It's most likely coming out at the end of the year, just as the FRIENDS and 20/20 sessions collections did in 2018.

    i think that is mike love doing this hold up. since he was not writing any songs at this time it comes down to contempt that dennis was blooming as a creative force and carl had taken over the main production duties.
