It just dawned me that the box might include some 2011-2012 outtakes as well, from the TWGMTR sessions. Could it be we get to hear rest of the suite on the box?

Of all the boards I visit, this is the best laid-out and functioning of them all. It's practical and easy to use and most of the folk who post here are okay!

I don't think we should change the board at all. It's one of the best around there is.

I think most of us figured we were on the cusp of getting some big news on the box, and then.........nothing.
We can only fantasize about what we hope is on there for so long. Hopefully we get some substantial news soon.

I'm sure after the
other
Beach Boys releases come out they'll start shedding some light on the box set.

Maybe an announcement at the Grammy museum event in Sept? That's just before the albums get reissued so maybe appropriate for Mike or A. N. Other to let slip details of the exciting Christmas goodies which will be made available for anyone who likes 'em.

Doesn't mean there
isn't
leftover stuff they could release.
There should be a few 'finished' tracks leftover from TWGMTR alone.

New teaser:
"Their upcoming six-CD career spanning box set, Made In California, is scheduled for late November and will include a substantial amount of unreleased and remixed tracks, along with all of the band's greatest hits."

I hope the "greatest hits" come in the form of an unreleased alternate take or newly remixed form...that would be the best way to include the tracks without having us to shell out $$ for songs we already have 100 times over. I'm not even sure why they'd have to include any of the hits on this box set. What new fan is going to buy a box set of greatest hits and unreleased tracks as their first introduction to the band? No matter how great the '93 box set was or Hawthorne was...if I was a new fan, that'd be the last place I'd start.

I know many casual fans who bought the GV box because it contained the hits, which they wanted all in one place. And they got into things like Smile as a result.

How did the 70 prior hits collections elude them?

I dunno, maybe the fact that none of them were truly career-spanning put them off.

It might also be that "Made in California" will become the quintessential collection... all the hits, a boatload of rarities and unreleased gems... all in one place.
I'll withhold further judgement until I see the tracklist.

I applaud anyone who is bold enough to jump into a multi-disc box set containing a mix of hits and unreleased tunes even if you're just a casual fan. To me, it'd be an overwhelming experience that may or may not pay off. Getting everything like that so early in the fandom sort of puts things out of context for me. I work through the released albums and get to know the entire catalog and then later I "reward" myself by looking into the unreleased material found on box sets or archive releases when I can finally appreciate the rare items.

I agree about unreleased material. But The Beach Boys aren't seen as an album band by the mainstream rock listener, Pet Sounds/Smile aside. So a box set of theirs would have been looked at in a similar way to boxes by Patsy Cline, Miracles, etc. There are probably many people here who haven't listened through every Beach Boys album. I don't think of the BB as an album-centered act myself, and that is a compliment.

Agreed. I take this as good news. We knew the hits were gonna be on the box - did anyone really think there would be a 6 disc box without the foundation of the Beach Boys' popularity? Skip the new greatest hits collections and splurge on the album reissues and the box - I'm sure there will be enough goodies to justify everything.

I don't know, I mean I think we're over-generalizing what a 'casual' fan is. They're not all 'I heard "Surfin' Safari" on the radio; that's a cool jam' people ... I mean, i know plenty of people who maybe have heard Smiley Smiley & Friends, are familiar with the early hits, but maybe haven't heard Sunflower ... who maybe would enjoy Adult Child, you know? Plenty of 'serious' music fans buy box sets to delve deeper into a band they are somewhat familiar with and want a definitive collection but don't want to do all the research to find the coolest stuff themselves.
For instance, I would buy a definitive Monkees box, but not all the individual albums or any greatest hits.

"Made in California" Box Set

Well, maybe the fact that they will have just released 2 separate greatest hits sets means that the new Made in California box will be light on the "hits" and heavy on rarities?

That is what I am hoping that this box set given it's apparent girth of six discs is going to be marketed to the collector. Honestly I'd be happy with three discs of hits and three discs of rarities as unlikely as that will be.
