Where is that %^&$@#&* MIC Box Set @#$%^&*(!!!

[SonicVolcano]

Can't wait!

(and silently hoping that Carnegie Hall 1972 is the next project )

[Mike's Beard]

It was always announced as a career spanning box not just a huge rarities comp. There's going to be lots of goodies on it for sure. One can't help but wonder though that, hypothetically, at some point a guy could have been looking at a potential tracklist and thinking "Should we go for WIBNTLA or Barbara Ann"?

I didn't read this for ten pages and there's still nothing important ten pages later. Good thing I didn't read those ten pages.

You don't know what you missed, Aegir...

...not much, really. A little bit of heavy speculation, some odd meditations, a bit of discussion on the Four Seasons (as one would expect on a Made In California thread), and so on and so forth.

Oh, and AGD, of course.

Congratulations. You've won the message board. Good job

I find it really hard to express myself in this thread given the absence of a suicide emoticon.

Probably best, then, to simply do away with yourself ( or avoid this thread)

[Disney Boy (1985)]

Am I the only person who couldn't give a monkeys about alternate mixes or, in particular, live tracks? Sure one or two would be nice, but give me an unreleased track any day of the week, always...

[Disney Boy (1985)]

Oh, and i REALLY hope It's A New Day makes it onto the box. Incredible song!

I feel the same way.

Ditto x 100.
Also, nothing after 1979 please

Career spanning

[seltaeb1012002]

All I ask for is at least one new missing link between early 70's and mid 70's Brian. Even if it means Barbara Ann live '73.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

I've been long waiting for that "missing link" track for Brian's changing voice. Since hearing that "Hearts Were Full Of Spring" thing though, it seems less cut and dry.

Agree with all of the above, except I'd bump it up to 1981 to accommodate Stevie.

Don't need concert promos, session highlights, binaural mixes, already released stereo remixes, random talking, most live tracks, or much of the other stuff that cluttered up Endless Harmony and Hawthorne.

[tpesky]

Personally, I'm looking forward to the live tracks as much as the hope for unreleased gems.

Same here - we're talking about a band that was rated the world's top live act for a while…

[the professor]

I do wonder about the "Radio" songs and the band's new, reunion material. Here's the professor's prediction: no new, unreleased "Radio" era material will be on MIC; they are saving those songs for the 2013 BB album, which means that album, which we all wonder about, may not require much more "reuniting" and collaboration from the band. That would be sad.

Has anyone mentioned Dennis singing SJB? I wonder why he did not successfully pull off a version that Brian liked fro PS?

[Shady]

Bit of breaking news..

MIC was up for pre-order on amazon today with a release date of June 11th..

Couldn't post it earlier because I was in work. Now I have a chance I see it's taken down.

[Ziggy Stardust]

This is quite driving me nuts.

As for the fact there's gonna be bunch of hits/classics.. heh, as long as i get the famous Dennis tracks, boy oh boy.

In that case you missed my post of four days ago five pages back:

Made in California box set is complete and about to be delivered to Capitol.  Release date as yet undetermined.

Not that I'd hang my hat on this but Al Jardine told me backstage at the Eugene, OR show that they were going to be working on some leftover tracks and rearranged new versions of Radio tracks for the box set. One specifically mentioned was "Waves of Love"; though I don't see that since Brian wasn't keen on it and Al has already put out two mixes.

Well it's settled.  The thing's been cancelled.  Phil was right all along!

If there was going to be a new album this year, we'd know about it. By this time last year, they'd pretty much finished recording That's Why God Made The Radio, and we knew the album title and release date. Any new Beach Boys album would be released in early summer, and record labels usually have a three month or so lead time. That means that if they were going to be releasing a new album in June, they'd have had to already deliver it to the record label.

I'm not saying it's impossible, of course, but I'd give ten to one odds on there being a new album this year, at best.

Nah, someone just jumped the gun and almost let the cat out of the bag*.
