Well, I just just came across a complete, and credible, stereo version of Today! on the intertubes.
And from side two -- heh -- here's a stereo mix of the utterly gorgeous "She Knows Me Too Well."
Not all of the Today! bootleg tracks I discovered sound completely finished -- this one does, I think -- but they're all revelatory, and if you ask me really nicely, I'll send you the download link.
But trust me -- every single one of them, like the above, are so beautiful it hurts.

The first one has miscellaneous studio outtakes from 1965
The second one is Today in stereo, plus more outtakes.
Wow...just listened to She Knows Me...fantastic. Can't wait to listen to the dls.
I've been listening to them since I was 7 or 8 years old and still rank them as one of my top 3 or 4 groups ever. To hear something like this 45 years later still blows my mind.
Thanks Steve.
Thanks for sharing these links. Listening to these in stereo is not the kick I hoped it would be, though. I figured out that's because I couldn't possibly like this song or those two albums any more than I already do: Which is a lot (and more than I like Pet Sounds, with its pretentious train whistles and intimations of Brian Wilson's coming disconnect).
Have loved this song since discovering it on the back of "When I Grow Up" as a preschooler many, many years ago. This sounds like a first run vocal from Brian...and I'm pretty sure the mono version we're all used to has Brian's vocal double-tracked. The original version is too ingrained at this point for me but this was interesting to say the least. Thanks Steve!!!
