SMiLE Sessions box set!

[Andrew G. Doe]

Just phoned Uncut Magazine. There is quite a bit on Smile apparently - a feature as well as a review.

I know.  

Were you involved in the Uncut feature? Spill!

Wait and see.

[hypehat]

When's Uncut out? Shall be running to supermarket like a goon.

Do you guys know that its down to $103 on Amazon.ca. Amazon didn't recognize the drop in price on my pre-order so I canceled it and created a new one at the lower price..the currency exchange is pretty much even with the American dollar.

Well the price on Amazon UK is around £123, which at an exchange rate (last I checked) around $1.6 to £1, works out at $77, plus shipping.... would this not make it worthwhile all you guys buying from the UK?

Update 2 mins later - the box on Amazon UK 'currently unavailable'!!

Uh, you need to multiply £123 by 1.6 rather than divide.  It's like US $190.

 

Doh

It aws a very long night......

Get it from a newsagent if you have the opportunity - supermarkets have lain waste to newsagents just as they have lain waste to record stores.

Just sayin'…  (and yes I'm a hypocrite subscriber!)

Better have your facts right young man or Phil Cohen'll come back and kick your backside from here to Farnham!

Riot! Riot.......

Speaking personally, I have no big problem with an official 'purple chick' type thing for the first CD. Especially since it was all but explicitly stated that that was what we'd be getting. I think y'all need to chill.

Exactly! This has been known since the March announcement.

Yep!  A continuation of what Linett started doing in 1988.   Remember the 'fan mix' tape of his that circulated?

I'm excited for Uncut's piece..

Also, as bad as MOJO's piece was, the layout was fantastic along with the cover and unseen pics..

[37!ws]

What kills me is that the author of the MOJO piece -- you know, the one that mentioned Brian's sister Maureen -- is a fan and was at the first Smile concert...

[ghost]

Maureen Wilson was a quiet child, overlooked around her gregarious brothers and their friends. In the early days of the band she would cry until Audrey made Brian let her play triangle. Maureen would hit that triangle like it was going out of style. She really gave the Beach Boys their classic early "triangular" sound. Times would change in 1965 when Maureen lost her mind due to syphilis contracted on the road. To this day she lives in a nursing home telling of the good old days playing triangle in Maureen & The Beach Boys.

Yeah, pretty shocking..

It was an obvious rush job. Let's hope UNCUT don't make the same mistake

You sure you're not thinking of Taylor??

Taylor does far more than hit the triangle friend. She is an accomplished player of the children's whistle and really knows how to hold a vegetable.

[Aegir]

I think the real Maureen is better looking than Taylor.

[P.J.]

I don't know about you but I am really looking forward to making an all-instrumental mix of Smile to (ahem) "relax" to. I've always thought that the instrumental tracks were so original and moody. "Cabinessence"! OMG! I love listening to the "track only" version from the GV box set.

[The Shift]

Uuuurgh.  Man, you've just put me off ever listening to this set. I won't be able to out a disc on without that image now. Tainted.  Go wash your hands

[jimmy1949]

hopefully he meant "imbibe" as in "smoke"...

[Shady]

Yeah, I pray to god he meant "smoke" 

[monicker]

OH MY GOD, PEOPLE MASTURBATE??? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?! Please, God, sweet, merciful God, protect me from ever again having to hear about such horrors. The mere idea of another man masturbating threatens my prisoned mind with the most uncomfortable of thoughts. Get it out, get it out! I am prison guard of my own mental prison and i will not allow this to happen to me!!

You're blind with self-abusing passion.

There has been many a time where I've self-pleasured while The Beach Boys played in the background. More than once, I've timed the finale to coincide with the ending to California Girls. GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS! YEAH I DIG THE GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS! 

[SMiLE Brian]

Wow,weirdos wacking off to the Beach Boys, now i have officially heard everything i didn't want to know. Paging AGD to rescue this board from this insanity...
