GV uses the original Tony Asher lyrics. I like them both - the new
version includes some of the discarded music Brian was toying with for
ages. (I have a bootleg version of GV that goes on for about 15 minutes)

I miss Carl's voice on 'Surfs Up'. For all the damage he's done to
himself, it's amazing that Brian has any voice left at all. He can still
hit the odd falsetto, which is quite incredible.

Don't buy it and think of ∗tracks∗. It's the sum of its parts.
