When you’re collecting something, you have to know what you have to find. For some collections, it is quite easy. For example, if you’re collecting US stamps, you have to purchase a catalogue such as Scott or Stanley Gibbons and all the stamps you have to find are listed there. When you’re collecting CDs, it is a little bit different since none such catalogue actually exists. It is therefore impossible to know what you have to find. Beside the Internet, the only way is to discuss with other collectors to know what they have in their collection.
I’m writing this post about specific releases of Beach Boys CD, namely BMG and Columbia House releases. I still don’t know what these clubs have released regarding the Beach Boys. So, if you have some items released by BMG and/or Columbia House at home, please tell me. It would be very interesting for me to have the serial number.
I have also a couple of specific questions. In particular, does these BMG CDs actually exist?
Concert / Live in London (1990)
Smiley Smile / Wild Honey (1990)
Friends / 20/20 (1990)
Did Columbia House release a 2-Fer series in 1990?
