What "commemorative releases" should we expect for the 50th anniversary?

"This two-CD “Smile” set is one of my greatest CD creations."

Your being a 'legger doesn't concern me, but the hypocrisy does.

This comment floored me... "As it turns out, Al Jardine started a hoax, which he has now retracted. “Smile” is not going to be released officially. The “Smile” that you get on Big O is the best “Smile” you’ll ever get." - By Philip Cohen on Feb 15, 2011

At that point Jardine HAD retracted his announcement of an official "Smile" set. All of this is now a moot point. It's 2012, and an official "Smile" box is now here and (hopefully) we are all now enjoying it.

[PhilCohen]

The "event" of material from my collection appearing on the internet started like this: a friend made me aware of a Southeast Asian website, because he thought that I would enjoy it, but the first time that I looked at the website, I immediately noticed that a collection of unreleased songs(no, NOT by The Beach Boys) that had to have originated from my collection appeared there, and that looking further into the archive list on that site, the "Smile" compilation(originally created for myself and 3 other friends) appeared there, and I realized this: that any rare material that I had ever burnt to CD-R for anyone(even CD-R's burnt before the internet or downloading ever existed) or material that I had copied for friends on cassette(before the CD or CD-R formats ever existed) could all potentially appear on the internet. My decision to cooperate was motivated by a desire to pre-empt the possibility of poor quality multi-generation copies from circulating. And, by the way, with the exception of eight discs of material by 1960's British artists, none of the material had ever been truly exclusive to my collection. That website could have(and probably would have) obtained it elsewhere.

Yes but the rest of us thought/knew that he had been told to retract it because he'd jumped the gun with his announcement whereas you being the doom merchant you are labelled his announcement a hoax. The hoax part was the bit that floored me not that Al had retracted his statement.

It's quite obvious Phil is a legend in his own mind. He *wanted* SMiLE's release to be cancelled so he could remain "on top" (in his own mind). He also is quite possessive of unreleased material. He seems to think these artists owe us new albums and archive material.

The way I look at it, is this new Beach Boys album is just a cherry on top. And the zinepak CD, thats great too. And when the box set comes out, that'll be great too. And if certain songs that I was looking forward happen to be on it, I'll be even happier. But I won't die of depression if they aren't, because The Beach Boys don't owe me anything. Nor do any of the other artists. We choose to follow them, and they should follow their muse, and if they decide it is appropriate to release certain material at a certain time, then that is fine with me. I'm not going to get mad at them having a schedule or whatnot, and follow it.

If I was "Posessive" of unreleased material, then I wouldn't have shared every rarity I've got with the world. I DID want the "Smile" box to be released, but with a minimum of game-playing with the fans who had eagerly awaited it for decades. The Beach Boys' past history of arguing with each other over archival projects, gave me reason to worry during Capitol's 5 month Wall of Secrecy which followed the initial announcement.

And, be careful what you wish for in wanting artists to "follow their muse" and "release certain material at a certain time", because, when taken to its extreme, the result is the mentality of Crosby,Stills, Nash & Young", who repeatedly float possible vault tapes projects in interviews, then, invariably never deliver the goods.

I'm guessing the concept of foreplay is completely lost on PC.

So it's looking like the only releases we will be getting for the 50th anniversary besides The SMiLE Sessions, the new album, and the zinepak are going to be the box set and the new best of. At least according to the press release they sent out earlier, where it says:

"The Beach Boys and Capitol/EMI have also partnered for 50th Anniversary commemorative releases celebrating the band’s entire catalog, with a new hits collection and a career-spanning box set planned for later this year."

So I guess our only chance to get unreleased songs will be the box set. Lets hope they choose some really good stuff for that. I hope they give us the cream of the crop.

Well it's been several hours since Capitol announced the possibility of archival Beach Boys CD product and we have heard nothing! NOTHING!!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be a Phil-like character. I just wanted to get everybody's hopes in check. I'm super excited still.

Sorry Jim, my post was a joke directed at Phil, not you.

Even with all this today, Phil will think up some new conspiracy between Capitol & The Beach Boys.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Please. Forever?

[PhilCohen]

Apparently, the reunion album is titled "That's Why God Made The Radio", and an (unconfirmed) track listing is mentioned at the Steve Hoffman forum. We now await word from Capitol as to whether the track listing is truth or rumor.

I was just messing with you Phil, I hope we do get a great new box set with previously unreleased stuff on it - it would be great and it might finally make you happy. Promise not to get all ansty if Capitol don't give us daily updates on the box set?
