SMiLE Sessions Price Thread.

[CarlTheVoice]

I don't know whether it's been made obvious but is the normal box set limited edition? I'm only getting the 2CD for now, but would like to get the box for a present later on in the year, maybe even next year. Will they have sold out by then? Or maybe stopped putting the poster in?

Download now available at Play.com for pre-order.

Only the 5 CDs are included, and looks like the "hidden tracks" might not be part of the deal.

There's also an audio player on the download page for each individual track, but it's either not switched on yet or my Flash is playing up

I tried it and my flash player futzed for reasons 'unknown'.... Cohen lives?

Same, SMiLE is crashing my internetz 

[The Shift]

Ah, I'm on a Mac which is probably why I didn't spot that potential hiccough, so apols.

[SloopJohnB]

"Adobe Flash plugin crashed". I'd be very surprised if you could actually listen to snippets of all the tracks anyway.

Im living in germany atm so think my best option priced at 120 euro may be - http://www.amazon.de/SMiLE-Sessions-Beach-Boys/dp/B004RFYEEC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1318950883&sr=8-2 - Delivery on the 28th of October it says.

Any other people living in Germany on here know of any better options?

I'm looking at getting the Box Set from either Amazon UK or HMV.com. Anybody know which one of these two is likely to package this large item best. I have never ordered 12" size items before. Thanks.

I've bought large items from amazon before and they are always packaged perfect..

Never an issue with them, can't speak for HMV

[hypehat]

HMV is also rather more expensive iirc. Never had a problem with Amazon with my Beatles or Velvet Underground boxsets.

Paying 30 dollars for the 2-CD set to come on Nov.1 and getting the full box set for christmas.

US $30?  You can do better than that.  It's $22.30 on Amazon US and around $19 on Amazon UK.  Even with shipping costs, those prices will be lower than $30.

Best Buy will have it in stores for $24.99 or less.

Just checked the various amazon sites (the ones that matter) and SMiLE is selling like hot cakes..

I got it off amazon for $22.30, the two day shipping required for Nov.1 was $7.98.

I have now decided to cancel my 2CD and get the box set! So stoked! I can't wait to come home from work and find SMiLE in my house! I am really looking forward to this now!

You most likely can sign up for the “Amazon Mom” program: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mom/signup/info , and one of the things you’ll get with this is free two-day shipping for three months. You can read all the details on this page, but you don’t have to literally be a “Mom” to sign up for it. If you sign up for this, you can cancel your old order and re-order it with free two-day shipping. Good luck!

I just wish Amazon would just charge me all ready!

Right!? I'd love to get that bill knocked out of the way. I really can't wait to get that email from amazon saying "your order of 'The Smile Sessions' has shipped"!!!

Just a few more days.

Hey all - any other Kiwi fans lurking, Monday October 31st seems to be the release date for New Zealand. Online store Fishpond is the only source showing a listing for the box - a whopping $243NZ (and that's after a 30% discount!!). One of the listings is clearly the vinyl - not sure about the other. It's called a "box" too, but $72 seems far too cheap for the big set and way too expensive for the double disc.

Okay, missed my first bus home so had time to check into it. According to UPC numbers, the $72 set is indeed the double disc. It also looks like they'll be importing item by item from the States, so this might help to explain the inflated pricing. Which means that apart from CDWow (double and single editions), no supplier in NZ even seems to have the set on their books. Have spoken to Marbecks and to JB Hifi and checked Mighty Ape, and they have no record of any edition on their systems or schedules. Bizarre.
