SMiLE Sessions box set!

I wonder how Brian would react to the recent pages of discussion.

MOJO just arrived in the mail this morning.

Not a sausage. No review, no feature, no news snippet, no advert…

There was an ad for the next edition of Mojo '60s though, which focusses on Nick Drake. No mention of BBs in the ad for that either.

It does look as though the review will be in next month's though judging by the little "coming next month" bit at the end of the reviews

You would have thought there wasn't much left to say about Nick Drake. 1 young man, 4 year career, 3 LPs and some out-takes, no interviews, a family who've said all they can, about 4 live gigs and a great musical collaborator who's now sadly died.

Seems like things may be starting to get back on track here which is a bit disappointing as I missed my opportunity to make a rude comment about the magazine title, "Uncut."  It would have fit in perfectly a few posts ago...and before anyone beats me to it, "That's what she said."  Now, back to the fun at hand.

I've just watched the promo video again, and felt that wonderful, excited feeling. I can't wait to hear this,.

[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.

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   

LOL! That is how much I don't have a dirty mind! I never even thought it'd be construed as masturbating! Good one.

Yes! I think I've watched it about three times and every time it gets the juices flowing (and no, I am not talking about jerking off, cochinos)!

It's slightly annoying Capitol keep directing people to the insanely expensive SMiLE version as opposed to saying buy it on amazon or take this special option

I keep reading everywhere "I can't buy the box set because it's 700 bucks"

[tansen]

Hmm, did the thread die?

Hmm, did the thread die?

Ha!  I'd considered bumping it myself, just f'old timers' sake!

Great minds think alike!

This should just be the count down thread now...

Hello everyone,

I interviewed Beach Boys' engineer Mark Linett for my Icon Fetch web radio show (iconfetch.com).  I will post the full interview a little closer to the release of SMiLE.  But, I wanted to post a little preview, because it clears up some misconceptions about what was left off (if anything) of the 5-CD box.  The direct link is:

http://www.iconfetch.com/tonys-blog/410-smile-sessions-blog-post-4-with-mark-linett.html

Also, Mark has agreed to return to the show once SMiLE is released to answer questions you might have.  You can go to my site and post questions there or email them to me.

Enjoy!

Nice snippet. The whole thing will be interesting to be sure.

[Chris Brown]

Thanks Tony, can't wait to hear the rest! 

[SMiLE Brian]

They should have put the material left off the box on the set with surfboard, or another expanded box that us hardcore fans would buy. But they made the right choice with five disks winning out over 3 disks.

[Heysaboda]

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.

I hope "wait and see" means "yes"

Can't wait!!!

he'll get freaked out and cancel the release because it has driven us all crazy..

[Heysaboda]

oh, for the glory days of AGD vs. PC........... 

 

[Shady]

It's good the SMiLE news broke up into other threads..

This thread is wayyy too long

[Dunderhead]

Ok, here's something I've wondered for a long time, but never gotten an answer to.
So Carl made copies of all the smile tapes in 1971? Does that mean everything we don't have went missing before 1971? It seems unlikely that both the original and the copy were stolen, doesn't it? Are there any tapes that we have the copy for but not the original?
It just seems weird.

Maybe the box set book will address this, but essentially - it was 1972, not '71 - you got it.
