Did you get your copy?

[Amy B.]

I just got back from Target in Jersey City, NJ. At first I didn't see it on any of the endcaps, so I checked the "pop" section, which I guess is supposed to be in alphabetical order but really isn't. After scanning the whole thing I was about to give up but finally realized there was one endcap I hadn't checked. That ended up being "New Releases." There it was, though hard to notice. I paid $7.99 for it. I've heard a few of the tracks on YouTube but am about to start playing the CD.

There was a sticker on it that said "Includes the hit single 'That's Why God Made the Radio.'" Is it a hit?

[EgoHanger1966]

I find that sticker hilarious. Like, you need to know "That's Why God Made The Radio" is on an album called That's Why God Made The Radio.

It's 9:52 AM in California.

Calmly, oh so calmly, waiting for my package from Amazon.

(resisting impulse to drive one mile to Target)

haha tough position!  did you end up going?

arghh!

No, didn't go to Target (should have).  Amazon says it will be here this afternoon!

[GhostyTMRS]

Walked into the FYE at Paramus Park in NJ and there it was on the new releases rack for $9.99 since I had a credit for $3 I figured today would be the day to use it. Kinda wish I hadn't heard the entire album beforehand as it does ruin the thrill of popping that sucker in the car stereo for the very first time. Oh well......

[Awesoman]

I ordered mine from Amazon.  Thing said it shipped and was delivered, but I still don't have it yet.  :-(

[Tony S]

Got mine at Best Buy for $9.99; Pretty cooL that there were a couple of others playing theirs on their car CD players as I exited the store. Really enjoy the CD; Nice melodies, great harmonies, Al really sounds great in his spots, as does Bruce. Overall, a solid CD.

[onkster]

Got mine at Target in Burbank...and used my pharmacy 5% off card for even further savings! Whoo-hoo!

[Cabinessenceking]

I downloaded mine illegally  

I am however travelling very far to see their live show in Oslo on July 29th. The trip is very long and expensive so does this make it up (because I am after all seeing them live) or should I fling myself off this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preikestolen for the summer (it's just 1 hour away from me). I am an impoverished student T_T

Oh the dilemma  

[bossaroo]

couldn't pass up the $7.99 price tag at Target.

downloaded the leak last week, but happily deleted those files today. nothing like having the real deal in your hands and on your CD player. and doing your part to get Brian and the Boys back up the charts!!!

wow.

[NatureShowInStereo]

I went to Walmart at 1AM after work last night and they still had all of the June 5th releases in their shipping boxes. I asked if I could get a copy of the new BB album and they pulled one out of a box for me. After the guy handed me the album, he looked back into the box. "What's this?" he mumbled as he picked up the new Beatles release. I said thank you and walked away quickly as he examined it.

[positivemusic]

Downloaded the leak first, because I'm unbelievably impatient. 

Went to K-Mart to pick up the new Alan Jackson CD for my mom's Father's Day present to my dad. Saw The Beach Boys' album there, but figured I'd just get it at Wal-Mart with the rest of what I needed. Incredibly Wal-Mart had none! Either in the regular section or the new releases. I didn't see The Beatles' CD, but they did have Paul and Linda McCartney's Ram reissue displayed in the new releases.

So, back to K-Mart it was. Oddly enough, both mine and my mom's CD rang up cheaper than the price tag. Must be some kind of release day "discount" or something K-Mart runs. At any rate, it was a nice surprise.

It's possible they were sold out! 

[Summertime Blooz]

I paid $2.99 for my copy at Target after using the $5.00 gift card they gave me for buying some Dr. Scholl's insoles.   Wow! A new Beach Boys CD AND comfy feet. I'm having quite a day.

[Chris Brown]

Just picked it up at Best Buy about an hour ago for $9.99. 

Already gave it one spin, overall I'm impressed, especially those last 3 tracks...damn.

[dumbangel76]

Got it on Itunes and at Target...I know overload but, had an Itunes gift money to burn!

[Emdeeh]

It's in the mail, hopefully arriving tomorrow...

I picked mine up at Target this evening.  It smells really nice.

Hope it arrived...if not I'd be pissssssed!

[Magic Transistor Radio]

I only spent $14.99 on mine. I think its better then SMiLE and Pet Sounds but not as good as Summer in Paradise.

It really does

[MBE]

Kind of pissed I have to wait for the vinyl but the CD will do me OK for now and at least I have a copy for the car.

QVC seemed to suggest here and there that the cd would ship early, so I ordered it from them (along with their bonus CD) even though I had already pre-ordered it on Amazon.  And yes in the meantime I downloaded the leak because I'm impatient.  Then early today the 24bit version became available on HDtracks so I purchased that, which sounds great and will be my go-to listening version.  The Amazon pre-order arrived at the house later this afternoon.  It's still in the wrapping and I'm thinking of passing it along as a gift.  That QVC version?  Hasn't even shipped yet last I checked.  I may keep it due to the bonus disc as a collectable I haven't decided yet.

This is the first time a major purchase such as this has been available on the day of release as a 24bit download (at least, a major purchase I've been interested in).  The post CD era may have arrived.

[Sie W]

Popped into my local HMV today and used a gift voucher had left over from my birthday to get the CD, was showing number ten in the chart (Don't know if was the shop's or a local chart, shows number 30 on HMV website), they had a fair few copy's in, it was a bit different when the Smile Sessions CD came out, they had none in.
 
CD will have to keep me going until the vinyl bundle comes my way.

[Emdeeh]

USPS tracking says my copy is out for home delivery today -- hooray!

[Heysaboda]

arghh!

No, didn't go to Target (should have).  Amazon says it will be here this afternoon!

Hope it arrived...if not I'd be pissssssed!

(gasping for air) It finally arrived this morning ONE DAY AFTER the tracking note said it was delivered.

No worries, tho'.  It came with the new Neil CD!  Life is good!  And Amazon reduced the price to $7.99.

Just have to comment on the wonderful, wonderful picture of The Beach Boys on the back of the CD!!!!  Now that's nice!
