Outtakes:
Sherry She Needs Me was proposed to be included on the Summer
Days album.
On the back of the "Summer Days" cover
Brian says in his little write-up that Denny was supposed
to sing a lead vocal on the album, but fell asleep in his
trailer.... What song was that supposed to be?
I'm not sure it's even on the album. There is no indication
that Dennis was supposed to sing any of the tracks that
appear on the album. However, there are session sheets for
an "untitled ballad" that was recorded 4/16/65,
and the musicians listed as performing on the cut do not
match up with any of the SUMMER DAYS tracks. So perhaps
that was the song Dennis was supposed to sing. For those
of you who are trivially obsessed, here's the data on that
"untitled ballad." The basic track was cut at
Westen the afternoon of the 16th with 12 musicians, including
4 saxes, a trumpet and vibes. Then, in the evening of the
same day, a sweetening session was held with 16 players,
including 8 violins, 2 cellos, 2 violas and an oboe. We
know this track wasn't "Summer Means New Love"
-- that was cut on May 12th (we have the session sheet for
that). We know it wasn't "Let Him Run Wild" --
that was cut March 20th (not the 30th, as has been reported
-- the date is on the tape box). And there's nothing else
on SUMMER DAYS that comes even remotely close to that grouping
of instruments.
And what the hell is up with the album? They leave Al off
the cover because he was ill....couldn't they reschedule
the photo shoot or just use a different picture?! And why
couldn't they wake up Dennis??? Or just do his vocal later???
Ask Brian. I agree it makes no sense.- Brad
