Brian’s Blog notes that “The Warmth of the Sun” features 28 re-mixed, remastered tracks.. all in stereo. There are six tracks mixed in stereo for the first time, All Summer Long, You’re So Good to Me, Then I Kissed Her, Please Let Me Wonder, Let Him Run Wild and Wendy. Most of us remember the so-called stereo LP versions which were “duophonic”, music in one channel, vocals in the other. Here’s a question. Brian is said to be hard of hearing in one ear. Who did the stereo mixes? It was probably Mark Linett, who talks extensively about his work with Brian in EQ Magazine.

Contact News Correspondent Bob Berry says: Linett, btw, has done exceptional work with the Beach Boys library. Also a guy named Bob Norberg, who has done some wonderful re-masters on Capitol’s 50’s & 60’s “pop”, notably the Capitol “Ultra Lounge” series. Here’s more on how Capitol goes about remastering.

The album is up and available for listening / download now at Rhapsody.
