What bass did Chris use on theses sessions? Guild?

Mark Boyd

Thanks for putting this stuff up. Do you have anything from that Younger Than Yesterday sessions disc? 

TheAerovons

No there's a bad mistake on guitar a few seconds before he stops them

It annoyed Crosby, who was a difficult person back then. Melcher was a genius and if you listen to the out takes, they weren't minor flubs, they were embarrassing mistakes and he made them play them so they would sound like the songs we now remember.

@jmjacknife "harmonies inspired the Beatles" You're joking aren't you? The Beatles were why the group formed in the 1st place.

Bruce Barham

@Valvicus yeah, its all in the past, and when ya think about it, they. thru everyones effort and learning experience and talent n inspiration gave us great music, which stands thru test of time tho sometimes i wish digital remakes werent so changed in mix from original analog

Bruce Barham

Ah, but where's the acrimony inherent in the Dolphin Smile Outtakes sessions?

Bruce Barham

the Preflyte recordings under Jim Dickson showed that they didnt have their harmony "together". When they got to Columbia it seems they developed the ranges and had a better sense of harmony. Im very fond of the group, probably too much so, their musics is probably my biggest influence ..I really dont think the Byrds harmony inspired the Beatles tho, the beatles were talented within their own right and developed without the Byrds .McGuinn taught u show to play the rick 12. Dont mean to offend

Jeffrey Mitchell

what poppy cock...these recordings were very groundbreaking..even for the LA scene..but Mr barkems comments on there sense of harmony is sily for a group whose harmonies inspired the Beatles.. i am not a flamer or tryong to say anything wrong to Bruces opine but ..first off..these are outakes of the basic track ..WITHOUT vox

Jeffrey Mitchell

it's a recording..it lasts for ever...of coure you stop when theres a mistake or else you send your life editing them out or dropping them out of the board mix...there was NO automation back then so I cant blame him for stopping...have you ever made a record? thats just normal...have you ever heard how many times George Martin stopped the Beatles?? although they were smart enough to crack up and stop them selves, but I have heard them get up past 65 or more takes

Bruce Barham

sadly tho, UNTIL they got to columbia , they didnt have a very good sense of harmony, that is, they didnt find their parts and boundaries well, I personally think Melcher did them good, witness how well the recordings stand up to the test of time , and now to digital....the secret to not having " little and minor mistakes" which cost money in studio time, is to get ya thing together BEFORE you go in...Melcher wasnt ripping them, he was trying to get the BEST out of it all

Byrds did fine on 5D without Melcher but Melcher solidified their sound the first album, which is one of their best, if not the best.

Byrds1967

Hey this is great stuff. A cool listen behind the scenes. Where did ya' find this?

nhoner

Melcher curtly asking "who's singing the high part" (Feel A Whole Lot Better outake) during one of the breakdowns probably didn't exactly endear him to Crosby...

HIghFlyinByrd

They're playing 5D. If you watch the other outtakes with Terry Melcher, he would stop the recording because of very little and minor mistakes, which annoyed The Byrds, so by 5D, they got a new producer.

Tsugaheterophylla

Which song are they playing in this clip? By the way, I don't understand the "obvious reasons" for firing Terry Melcher; can someone explain? Thanks for any info.
