New Beach Boys 2012 Remasters!

[TV Forces]

Yeah, I wonder too. Placed my order on the 27th and still no shipment notification in my email. Checked in there system and it says it is in "Fulfillment", but it has said that since Tuesday.

I went to their FAQ to try and find out what "fulfillment" meant to them.  All I found was this:

Can I cancel my order?
 
Unlike labels in most countries, Japanese media labels don't accept cancellation at all. So we will only accept order cancellation under two circumstances:

1) NEW ORDER As long as your order status is still marked as "NEW" from My Account page (usually during first few hours after the order is placed,) you may cancel your order. To cancel your order, please send your cancellation request through Customer Service Department by referencing the order number.

Please note that once your order status is marked as "FULFILLMENT" or "SHIPPED" from your personal My Account page, we're NOT able to cancel your order. So please make sure that you cancel your order when the status is still marked as "NEW" (usually during first few hours after the order is placed.)

Fufillment probably means that they have the item and that they are preparing for shipment.

Yeah, maybe....hopefully.

Just as it was when I searched Ebay, a search of DeepDiscount yielded only earlier Japanese pressings, yet links offered on this forum resulted in the 2012 edition becoming visible. Perhaps the "Search" function on those websites responds differently because I'm using a MAC computer.

If you say so..  I just went to eBay, typed in "beach boys japan," and there they were.  

CD Banq is in Taiwan.

not great to hear.  they were just flooded with almost 5 feet of typhoon rain.

In my original search on Ebay, I entered "Beach Boys Japan CD's "

[PhilCohen]

To the CD Banq customers, there's no reason to worry. They've now shipped my three discs, and undoubtedly will soon ships yours. If the arrival time is similar to what I've experienced with shipments to the U.S.A. from Japan & Singapore, it should take 10 to 20 days to arrive.

CDBANQ just sent the email that my CDs just shipped out.

Same here.  I ordered "Summer Nights" from them and "Today" from eBay. 
I'll buy "Smiley Smile" from whoever gets me my other CD first.

LOL!  What are they doing?  Sending them over in a rowboat?  geez

In other words, you will have your CDs one to two weeks AFTER I received mine from Amazon US!

Perhaps, but we won't be paying Amazon's $51 price. I'm obtaining the discs for $36 each after shipping.

Just got my copy of "Today!" from the eBay seller.   Ordered it on July 26.

The stereo "Do You Wanna Dance?" is about 15 seconds longer than the mono.

Any chance you can upload this one to YouTube?  I've been dying to hear it.

[Al Jardine: Pick Up Artist]

Ok, my dad is going to Japan tomorrow, I need to know what CDs to ask for.

Can I get a simple, quick list of all the albums they just released?

[Al Jardine: Pick Up Artist]

Holy crap, 2600 yen a piece?

I'm wondering if I should really blow $100 on three CDs, or...

...well, I do like to support my favorite band, but Sweet Jesus they are asking a lot for them.

[pixletwin]

I wish these would be uploaded by someone.

To ensure that you get the correct editions, all catalogue numbers must start with TOCP-713

Give it time(at least 3 to 4 weeks). Remember, the CD from the Walmart Zinepack only appeared as an unofficial Download last week.

I find it hard to believe these mixes won't be released in the us/Europe. Personally I'd wait a month or two and save yer cash!

The Walmart Zinepack isn't a particularly desired item around the fan circuit so it's understandable that it would take a bit of time to hit the net. These however, are first time stereo mixes of some of the band's most beloved albums and for god knows what reason, they have been sealed away for near two weeks now. I honestly can't think of another fanbase that would have albums of this magnitude of importance not hit the 'net for this long. It's crazy.

Yes, I know that Mr.Doe's robots are going to jump on me for saying this, but in refusing to let the fans know where they stand(whether these new remixes will someday be released in the U.S.A.) Capitol Records is setting the stage for The Beach Boys' most loyal fans to be scorched(perhaps needlessly) by the high-priced Japanese products. My CD's of "Today", "Summer Days....and Summer Nights" & "Smiley Smile" are on the way, and next month, I may purchase "Beach Boys Party". For the other titles, I'll wait until somebody uploads them.

Agreed.

To ensure that you get the correct editions, all catalogue numbers must start with TOCP-713

Since they are the only copies with both mono and stereo mixes, they won't be hard to find.

Yes, but unless you know what to look for, you may get the 2009 mini-album cover replica releases, which externally look similar to the 2012 releases.

Just think. The entire Beach Boys catalog is out there in proper stereo (sans Surfin' Safari) as well as Brian Wilson's original mono mixes. And yet most of us can't afford it. Maddening.

A large group of us should have taken pre-emptve measures in the form of a pool of money (literally or figuratively), buying all albums, getting a proper rip done by someone who knows how (with artwork scans), sharing among that group of people, and then re-selling the albums on eBay and giving peoples donations back to them. And then, of course, buying the US versions when Capitol gets the good sense to make them available here - I know I sure as hades will. Is that illegal? I would hope not, but probably.
