Thank You, SMiLE Internet Community!

[P.J.]

I just want to give a big "THANK YOU" to everybody, everywhere, who has kept the SMiLE fire burning online! If it wasn't for all of you -- all of us -- we'd never be getting official releases like this. Big "ups" to Jon Hunt and John Lane from The Smile Shop from back in the old days. That was where I got my early introduction. Also Bill Tobleman's website. Anne Wallace. Keepers of this message board! Love ya'll. I am so excited! Give thanks guys!

This SMiLE release is going to be cool.

I agree.

The Beach Boys are lucky to have fans like us (more so the hardcore historians) and we are even more lucky to have them and all that wonderful music

This set has probably been in the works for a long time now - but two years ago when I started lurking here I read a thread that dealt with what our SMiLE box set dream was - and the consensus among everyone of the set was that we needed a vinyl or two, a book, CDs full of studio chatter, a velvet lining (which we didn't get, but hey, we're getting everything else), and a few other things. Then, all of a sudden a boxset sprouts up and it has all of those wishes on it...AND MORE!

I agree: A big thanks goes out to everyone here (yes, everyone), to Mark Linett, Alan Boyd, The Beach Boys themselves, Van Dyke Parks, etc....This set's gonna be amazing!!!!
