My, my, "Good vibrations" "I get around" "Help me Rhonda" finally in stereo !!! Wow !

Anyone have any idea how they are going to achieve stereo with the above songs?

Mix them in stereo from the Multitracks, adding lost discrete elements using this newfangled "digital extraction" technology.

So is today the first we're hearing of the Mono/Stereo Remasters getting an official US release?  This is huge!!!   Shocked  For me anyway.   Pirate Happy Dance


All respect and love for our fellow Smilers who took a bullet for the team on the Japanese imports.

16 Euro each at amazon.de with september 21st as release date. A bit high priced but I am still excited.

What we're probably seeing here is this Japanese site announcing it before everyone else.  Who knows...they may even have the remasters released there first before everywhere else?

Check!

Either way, I shall expect an annoucement for the worldwide release to be made in the near future. 

Check!

I'm thrilled Capitol didn't drop the ball on this opportunity to give us the remasters too.

The 2-disc set roughly mirrors the tour set.

And it's got Dance Dance Dance on it! Grin

This. It's quite clear that 50 Big Ones is an attempt it somewhat mirror the tour set list, with nearly every song being performed so far on tour.  And I sort of like the cover art, nothing special, sort of cliche, but safe nonetheless and I'm excited to buy the new comp.

For me, the "official" validation of the remastered is what really excited me from this release, even if we knew yesterday or whenever when they appeared on Amazon.

no "Wild Honey" "Friends" or "20/20" cd release? maybe they are planning a late 60's boxset with those songs on it with the "landlocked" songs or something like that ..

A career-spanning Beach Boys 50th Anniversary box set is planned for release later this year by Capitol/EMI.  Details about the special commemorative release will be announced soon.


Wow, so no info on the box.  Hmm.  Special commemorative release, eh?

Sounds like it could be a simple expansion on the 2 disc set.  With swag.  Get us on the first wave of releases -- then hook us on a "commemorative release" that contains a few new/unreleased tracks.  Naturally, I hope this is a massive vault dump....but I suspect it's more the former -- a glamorous career-spanning set with a dash of rarities.

Holding out hope....

Hard to believe nobody saw this coming.


I'll bet dollars to donuts that the 50 Big Ones line up is something like this:

Also, closely resembles 2012 setlist.

Oh.

They already did that to perfection with the 30 Yrs Good Vibrations box. Me want all rarities and unreleased. We (the people who would be eager to put money down for such a box) have no use for the hits, especially if (when) we buy 50 Big Ones.

On September 18th, The GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles will launch a special Beach Boys 50th Anniversary exhibit with ‘An Evening With The Beach Boys,’ a public event featuring a Q&A and acoustic performance by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and David Marks (www.grammymuseum.org).

This sounds like a real treat if it's anything like the Rolling Stone session. No tickets for sale on their site yet, unless I'm missing something. In any case.. another show to go to!

Amen!

The GV box was -- and is -- one of the greatest box sets EVER.  Hits and Rarities served up in harmony.  We do not need to relieve GV of it's duty.  Nor do we need 5 discs of hits.  We need a full box of vault love.

I really suspect it'll be the GV box -- with a DVD or Blu-ray.  But not at the GV box's price tag.

"A career-spanning Beach Boys 50th Anniversary box set is planned for release later this year by Capitol/EMI.  Details about the special commemorative release will be announced soon."

As long as I get my rarities (or at least some)...I'll be happy.  Remasters are nice...greatest hits packages have there place...but honestly...nothing being offered is anything I don't already own in some way, shape or form.

I want some honest-to-goodness stuff from the vaults...and if I don't get WIBNTLA I might consider tracking down the Wikileaks guy to see if he can get his hands on it for us!

I also wonder if the remasters will be available in some sort of boxed set or simply as stand-alone releases?  

That said...I'm glad that EMI/Capitol is putting so much effort into the band.  They obviously deserve it.  50 years is a big deal.

For the '50 Big Ones' set, they should have included at least one track from the 'SMiLE Sessions' - perhaps Surf's Up or GV.

Especially, as a fully functional, recording band. Ain't too many left with all the surviving original members, either.

I wonder if the mixes for 50 Big Ones will be taken primarily from the new stereo mixes, and if so, it will be interesting to see if we get stereo mixes (Digital Extractions or otherwise) of "Surfin' Safari", "The Little Girl I Once Knew", "Wild Honey", "Darlin'", "Friends" (I know it was released in stereo, but I could still imagine them trying to do a cleaner mix), and "Do It Again".

Perhaps out of reach but certainly logical would be if the remasters were all grouped in a box with the addition of the other missing titles finally filling out the set (Wild Honey, Friends...etc).   That would be a nice ploy to get us to buy the box set just so we can have the rest of the titles including the coveted stereo version of Wild Honey in our collections.  Where they would stop is up for grabs...maybe "Holland" or all the way to "Love You"?  Who knows?   

But with the previous archive products ("Good Vibrations" box, "Hawthorne" plus all the bonus tracks from the two-fers) now out of print, it's becoming clear where those tracks will be used.

They should sell the discs separately to make this endeavor affordable to the fans, but offer an exclusive "tech unit" storage unit that you can buy and put all your discs in. The exclusive bonus? A single disc mono/stereo "Smile" album.

Start clipping those "proof-of-purchases", suckers!

Yeah having them separately would obviously be really nice but if they wanted to be sneaky about it and cut corners...sneaking it into a box set is possible.  It's way early too tell.  Let's all get this first batch of remasters and then see about more.

I just REALLY hope they don't release a sort of box that you have to buy in order to obtain WH, Friends, 20/20, Holland, etc. after I go out and buy these 12 new releases. That would be cruel.

It'd certainly be nice if they revealed the box set before the remasters are released that way we can all decide how we want to go about purchasing these different items.  They'd catch hell if they waited and made us re-buy everything just to get the other missing albums.  Hopefully they can get it together and finalize their plans and make the announcement soon.
