Book on Beach Boys concerts Next Year! !!!!!!

[Ram4]

I love books like this - looking forward to it!

Thanks for the well wishes!! Hopefully it won't disappoint-we'll definitely have some nice photos in it.

It will be both splendid and essential. Hell, it already is. 

[Jay]

Quick question, if I may. Will the book have any late pictures of Dennis or Carl?

[Andrew G. Doe]

You mean, after they died ?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, gross. 

[Jay]

I knew it. As soon as I posted that, I knew somebody was going to say it.

Ian - how about accompanying the book with a few CDs of previously unreleased live performances, going from 62 to the present?  A soundtrack to the book!

[Ian]

Its a nice idea but getting this together is complicated enough-that would be a whole other level of complications

[Ian]

That being said...I think the BBs should (and will) someday have something similar to the Rolling Stones and Grateful Dead-official "bootlegs" that they make available for downloading.  The Stones teamed with Google and put out about six such concerts (1973, 75, 81, etc) so far

So... publication date was yesterday (June 18), yet Amazon already states "Usually ships within 2 to 4 weeks". My copy has "not yet shipped", but estimated delivery date is tomorrow. Wonder if it's going to be personally delivered by Jon to get here that quickly?  

The good news is that the price dropped significantly since my pre-order. Here's hoping the same happens with MIC.

Edit: Oops, posted at the exact same minute as Ian's "My book", although shipping isn't discussed there.

I think Amazon sometimes shifts the availability to "ships within X number of days or weeks" rather than simply converting it back to a pre-order and altering the "release date." They probably don't have a precise release date, so they are treating it as something that is available now but is sort of backordered. My order also still shows a date of tomorrow for delivery, but I think that's just a glitchy way Amazon's order tracking works.

Boy, did the title of this thread catch my eye – BBs concerts planned for 2014 and someone's already written a book?

My heart sank a little …
