Topic: Brian Wilson "Run James Run"

Have a listen to what Brian Wilson says at the start of this tune, about writing it for a James Bond movie but being turned down:

While this was released under the title "Pet Sounds", apparently it was originally titled "Run James Run".  I love Wilson's music, but don't know about this tune being considered for a Bond film (given the timing, perhaps TB or YOLT). If anyone knows more, please chip in here.

I couldn't open your link   ajb007/mad  - most likely due to my computer being ancient.  I tried you tube with 'Pet Sounds' and 'Run James Run' but couldn't find much.  I've attached what I did find but is probably something you've already seen or is the same attachment as you posted.

Re: Brian Wilson "Run James Run"

Same tune- try "Brian Wilson Pet Sounds Live" and see if that works.
