Why would two different web sites (including a guy's record collection database) clearly indicate that their "Beach Boys Deluxe Set" have a blue spine? Just for the hell of it? Or was the guy color blind or just typing that without looking at it? Doubt that. And why would the Goldmine listing list three (3) different Deluxe Sets in one spot; one with a black border, one with maroon, and one with a blue border? Just to confuse people or they're color blind or guessing from memory and don't know what they're talking about? Very much doubt that too.
What's the matter Bigass, you don't have it so it must not exist? Why would I lie to you about something like this? Why would I do that on a public message board and compromise my credibility? TRUST me, it exists, whether you like it or not. I saw one first hand. It doesn't really matter to me whether you think it exists or not. It's whatever you want it to be, Bigass.
P.S. Learn to spell "a lot". It's not that hard. Really!
You don't know much about Price Guides, do you? there's always mistakes in there. Stuff that's been reported ( he said/she said/ I heard joe has a copy/ my brother was talking to sam the other day when his cousin's wife came by and was showing him a picture of some record that her uncle said he thought his grandfather talked about seeing in a pawn shop one time, tho maybe it was by that other guy) BUT doesn't exist. Records that people swear are out there, that are not.
There's alot of that stuff. I mean ALOT!! But no, I'm not going to site specifics for you. You'll just have to "trust" me.
Cuz, Really, I believe you think you saw one. really I do. I bet each one of the Beach Boys, specifically remember alot of the details of spending the $300 and Al's mom doing it all, and god know what else. Doesn't mean it's true. Ther's alot of that going around, alot of the time
It's funny that your friend has the only known copy of the blue spine, but can't supply a picture( of course you saw him buy it)
How many have you seen listed for sale on Ebay, or anywhere else? ( I know how many) Who else has ever seen one? How many BBs collectors do you know that have a blue spine copy?
after all, we're not speaking of a test pressing here , or an acetate. Your friend has the ONLY known copy of a Stock Capitol Beach Boys release. WOW. Now if you said it was still sealed, that would make an even better story....
All in all, it's not that I don't have a copy. there are alot of BBs variations that I don't own( tho the list of have/have not is alot smaller than it used to be) at least when talking about items I REALLY want.
Still, you want me to admit youre right? SHOW ME THE BLUE SPINE!!!
In fact, show me ANY Capitol Deluxe Set issue with a blue spine. The Beach Boys weren't the only one with a release by that name.
Here's some to start checking( up to Capitol 3000):
1790 Rodgers and Hammerstein Deluxe Set (STCL, TCL)
2182 Apaka/[Various] The “Hawaii Calls” Deluxe Set (TCL, STCL,
2814 Frank Sinatra Deluxe Set (STFL, TFL)
2815 Dean Martin Deluxe Set (DTCL)
2816 Jackie Gleason Deluxe Set (STCL)
2942 Tenessee Ernie Ford Deluxe Set (STCL)
2952 Webley Edwards Presents The Hawaii Calls Deluxe Set (DTCL)
2988 Judy Garland Deluxe Set (STCL)
2989 Stan Kenton Deluxe Set (STCL)
There are probably some other later ones, not to mention some Classical music releases.
Good Luck!! report back when you find one....
