The last three years (and 6 or 7 fancomps) have been the most fun and, at the same time, the most hectic a fanmixer could live. Like with every fancomp I do, I meet more fans, go more places, have more mixing sessions in audacity, do more mixes, and lose more sleep than anybody could call normal. I've been to mega.nz, Soulseek, and PinkRobert, as well as the entire Beach Boys General™ discord server (my favorite place). My fanmixes have been played to hundreds of thousands of people and they've all loved it. There's only one complaint I have - there's never enough subscribers on my YouTube channel to really enjoy it - or maybe worse, it's very seldom these fancomps are recommended to fans on reddit or the Smiley Smile Message Board.
As I'm writing this, Dae, Salty Marshmallow (our fanmixin' buddy and sessionography nerd) and three girls (lol as if) along with Howie Edelson are sitting around the table working on our own fanmixes while avoiding eye contact with each other. But my mind is somewhere else right now. I'm still working on ideas for my next fancomp. We had an unbelievable hassle trying to finish up the 50 songs on this set, especially after a three month break following Jiggy Flows 2.0.
You should've seen Mike diggin' the lack of his own voice when we played back "The Girl from New York City (Session Excerpt; Track)" on my laptop last week. He was moovin' and groovin' like he used to in the home studio at the "Marcella" mixing sessions back in 1972. I thought AI pulled off "Then I Kissed Her (A Cappella)" purty poorly, hence its lack of inclusion on this set. And then there's Charles who fell asleep in his car parked outside Brother Studios the day he was supposed to bootleg a proper backing track mix of "Sherry, She Needs Me."
Hope you like my efforts this time.

Another great album, as always. Shame there's a number of Mono mixes rather than the usual stereo. I guess the particular Unsurpassed Masters tracks are in mono too? Thanks for all your hard work.
