Durrie Parks Smile acetates up for sale for $10,000

[?]

I'm honestly a little surprised they were able to get $10,000 for them.  Good for them.

[Shady]

Nice payday for Durrie, I hope Van gets a slice too.

Let's hope it went to the right hands and not Zooey deschanel's or Diablo Cody's 

[Cam Mott]

So I wonder who bought them?

[Micha]

OK guys, we know someone here did, you might just as well admit it!

[The Heartical Don]

So I wonder who bought them?

John Stamos.

sold.
1. looking forward to hearing these on beach boys central.
or
2. now we know whats holding up the box set
or
3. i don't want to think about it.

Hope you didn't bet the farm on that... jus' sayin'.

Fortunately i don't have a farm. Only a barnyard.
A barnyard that  is not in great shape without that acetate.

John Stamos.

He can hang it up next to his Kokomo gold record and his people magazine's most sexiest man alive cover.

Seriously though, it had to be either Capitol or Melinda who wrote the cheque

I doubt it.  BRI possibly but just as likely a private collector.

[Cam Mott]

Maybe VDP bought them back.  Has Lee Dempsey been around lately?

We're having renovations done to the house at the moment and I managed to persuade my girlfriend that we were far better off investing the 'new kitchen fund' in some tatty old, warped records, none of which contain a single, finished song. Man, I can't wait to play her the fragment of Heroes & Villains incorporating I'm In Great Shape via two spliced edits ...


... oh wait - better not actually play it as it will degrade a bit more.

Before people start PMing me to oblivion, I haven't really just bought the Durrie Parks acetates.

[SMiLE Brian]

I say bgas bought them....

[Shady]

I'm pretty sure Fishmonk stole them

[John Manning]

I'm thinking… lampshades, or ashtrays?

[The Heartical Don]

Phil Cohen bought them. I am certain.

It's his definitive trump card for when he'll have returned to these hallowed grounds.

He's out for revenge, folks. You'll see...

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

It was indeed on a very early setlist that someone showed to me pre-RFH (not in Brian's handwriting, btw) but so was "Diamond Head" and a few more non-Smile titles. That was evidently the first working rough and was very soon considerably refined.

Do You Like Worms
Prayer
Time To Get Alone
Bicycle Rider
Diamond Head
Holidays
Song For Children
Fall Breaks And Back To Winter
I Wanna Be Around/Friday Night
Wind Chimes
Heroes And Villians
Surf's Up
Good Vibrations
Cabin Essence
Wonderful
I'm In Great Shape
Child Is Father Of The Man
The Elements
Vega-Tables
The Old Master Painter

[SMiLE Brian]

I wish Brian did that setlist in 2003 to warm up for the smile tour in 2004.

He'll return and post a video of the acetates being thrown into a blazing fire with Mrs O Leary's cow playing the the background. We hear Phil whispering over the music, "It's over Andrew, it's over".



Oh man, I need to get a more interesting job

I think you did, soap opera writer.

Now that is shady. 

[Tricycle Rider]

I can't help but feel we just lost any chance we might have had to hear these.

There isn't enough material to base a physical release around, and I doubt these will end up on a download site. (iTunes, etc...)

Why do I feel like I've just walked a mile in Phil's shoes 

[bgas]

I say bgas bought them....

I'll post sound files for anything I really think is different

Agreed, we could write fan-fiction about AGD VS Phil.

Nah… he'll prepare them for release – packaging, artwork, tracklist, pressed and ready to ship… then cancel the release.

Then, he'll remaster them, prepare new packaging and liner notes, press them uop and have them ready to ship, then cancel the rlease.
