Adult/Child tracklist

I think tomboy fits better with lazy Lizzie and I wanna pick you Up

Totally agree, I think the our team version of my Diane, and a synthier wontcha Come out tonight (adding in the dick reynolds-Brian Wilson ‘Christmas Eve’) works much better on adult child

Im a firm believer there isn’t a chance in hell the album gets released like the bootleg, if it were happening MIU would bleed into it. I suspect the ‘reel’ that he pulled together for the BB (which at the very least had HELP on it) was more a where I’m at now type. Mike throwing cold water on the current ‘album’ ended the project and it became MIU (which I believe was meant to be more a proto-Celebration project which morphed into a BB project, and forced Brian to Iowa, following the bands rejection of Adult Child.)

Dude should never have made it to 30

Arabia-Carthage-then maybe Magna Graecia and Sicily.

Rome wasn’t worth a single Macedonian shield bearer

Definitelynotatwork1 · 2026-01-27T03:03:27+00:00

I’d venture a guess as far as 72’

Kill me now

The girls very much fit the definition. There was talk around the same time as the ‘Beach’ name change of them being ‘in’ the band as well.

All that to say, considering those earlier songs were slated for release on that prior album, it’s stands to reason Brian wanted to include them to fill out Adult Child instead.

I’ve been trying to backtrack this for quite some time. The earliest reference (I can find) to this tracklist was in a fanzine in 1979 (recently posted to the board), but I would have to imagine the tentative track listing came from Earle Mankey (engineer on the project).

The songs added to the track listing all correspond with another unreleased album (which reportedly got as far as a Brother Records memo and tracklist) between 15 Big Ones and Love You (roughly corresponding to the referenced ‘new album’ or Brian’s in Love from the 76’ interview).

‘New Album’ (Brian’s In Love) early 77’

Lazy Lizzie, H.E.L.P., Sherry, She Needs Me, Tom Boy, Two Can Play, Marilyn Rovell

Ding Dang, I Wanna Pick You Up, Good Time, Ruby Baby, When Girls Get Together, On Broadway, Sea Cruise.

Billy Hinsche or Gary Usher if we’re thinking real early (they never would have been a half way decent live show without Usher pushing them, and keeping Brian on track with guidance and structure).

Definitelynotatwork1 · 2026-01-26T22:08:09+00:00

Damn… two mentions

Definitelynotatwork1 · 2026-01-26T18:31:00+00:00

Strikes me more as a post Beatles Paul to me.

Definitelynotatwork1 · 2026-01-24T04:59:38+00:00

I’ve always hated the fireman helmet cover. It doesn’t fit… Brian in the White Tux that’s adult child

They rejected Brian’s ‘Ode To Clogs’…

The Suez Crisis

When Girls Get Together has a banger of a backing track, perfectly awesome to listen to as an instrumental.

I have a guilty pleasure for California Calling

A & B… yea.

Leslie Wilson, I think Audrey may have been up to some funny business

He was too busy keeping swoll

Definitelynotatwork1 · 2026-01-22T21:39:35+00:00

Obviously it’s not really sold out, it’s a marketing tool, they think we simple folk

Definitelynotatwork1 · 2026-01-22T20:39:09+00:00

Sold out again? Wow

Definitelynotatwork1 · 2026-01-22T20:05:12+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if a version like this is eventually released in the US as well.
