Nice to see "Soulful Old Man Sunshine" in there where it belongs, but I am surprised by so few rarities.
Pre-ordered anyway. Too many goodies to pass up.

I have a lot of thoughts on this tracklisting. Could have been far worse though. One random omission I'll throw out there: Carl's unbooted take on "I'll Always Love You." That one has been mentioned a lot over the years.

CD 3
----
11. Old Man River (Vocal Section)
17. Break Away (Alternate Version)
Wonder if these are new!
Can't wait to hear the stereo Our Prayer, alternate Don't Worry Baby, alternate Meant For You, etc. Lots of good stuff here!

The live section of the album seriously leaves a lot to be desired and a few rarities I was hoping would make the box set haven't.
A few obvious songs taking up room, Rock n Roll music for example.
All and all, I'm excited and it could've been a lot worse.

This is a great track list, along the lines of what I expected. No Stevie, or Lines unfortunately. And I was really hoping for Sandy. (I suppose they thought Sherry would be the better choice as it has vocals)
Some
very
exciting stuff on here though. Alternate Don't Worry Baby - wow!!!

As I feared, it's like those "other two guys" never existed. Thank God "Sail On, Sailor" was a single or there'd be no vocal representation from either of them. I'm incredible happy with the track listing but extremely disappointed to know we'll never get official, decent sounding versions of "Hard Times", It's A New Day", "We Got Love", etc; or for that matter, the 4/4 version of "Big Sur".

So *few* rarities?! A third of it's previously unreleased stuff, a good chunk of that's unbooted, and a couple of titles there I at least had never even *heard of*. What were you expecting?

That depends on what you class as rarity though doesn't it? We knew there was going to be an obscurities disc which there is. But personally I would have hoped that more unreleased songs would have been scattered between the other discs (which did happen with the GV box set). Those first two discs have one genuinely unreleased song between them for example.

"We Got Love" is a very disappointing exclusion. Thanks for reminding me

This is probably why Carry Me Home didn't make it either, there does seem to be this recent attempt to airbrush Ricky and Blondie from Beach Boys history and I don't know why. Having said that , will the live version of Wild Honey from '72 be a Carl or Blondie lead? I'm thinking Carl.

I agree that it's disappointing that It's a New Day, Carry Me Home and We Got Love are all omitted.

"Brian's Back" is a pretty significant part of the legacy.
I'm glad it's coming out when it's coming out and I'm glad that it has all sorts of exciting choices but I am also sad that I will still have no good quality recording of Carry me Home, Walkin', My Solution, It's Trying to Say, etc. These are bizarre omissions.

I was hoping for "We Got Love" and many of the other songs people have been mentioning. I don't consider a new stereo mix a rarity. I was figuring we'd get more unreleased titles. We've had vague insider reports from people saying the tracklisting would be really impressive. And it's just not. There's a lot of new stuff and I sure look forward to hearing it. But there is so much left in the vault we must still long for. The first two discs are just the same old stuff.

What is the thinking behind the genuinely unreleased songs that are collected together on disc 6? Are things like Barnyard Blues, Where is She?, You've Lost that Lovin Feeling etc. all considered unfinished or that they would not fit in with the rest of the set? I don't really understand that.

But those two discs are from the period where the barrel has already been most comprehensively scraped -- I certainly can't think of anything worth releasing from that period that hasn't come out.

Oops. I forgot about that. If it's not Blondie's version it will be a crime! No matter how you feel about he and Ricky or their contributions to the band, that version was a staple of the era and deserves a proper release.

Makes a kind of sense to me -- that way people buying the box for the new stuff can listen to just that one disc, and when it comes out in MP3 format people who have most of the other tracks can buy one disc separately.

I'm slightly underwhelmed by the tracklist, even though I do not want to be; lots of incredible goodies in there! I will still buy it, but it's a crime some songs were included and songs like Stevie, Carry Me Home, It's a New Day and We Got Love were not. And where is that magnificent Friends era outtake Adam Marsland mentioned? If stuff like that was supposed to be that good, why hasn't it been included? To all the people talking about Ricky and Blondie being airbrushed from the Beach Boys history, take a look at the design of disc 4!

Not sure that they are airbrushing them out of history. They are pictured on disc 4 (inner spread from the CATP/PS album).

Then take out some of the hits overkill and have those two discs cover a longer period of time.
Then in the 70s, there will be room for the songs people here are, I guess, supposed to overlook
the exclusion of because we're getting "Wouldn't It Be Nice to Live Again."

No demos or alternate versions or Party outtakes or anything? They include things like Goin' to the Beach and Da Doo Ron Ron later so they weren't exactly being picky.
And if there are no worthwhile songs from that era then how about the other periods?
Disc 3 has no genuinely unreleased songs (though Sound of Free is an excellent inclusion).
Disc 4 has 3 genuinely unreleased songs including the legendary Goin' to the Beach.
As I've said, I do think disc 6 will be great so I don't want to sound like a complete downer but I don't understand the rationale behind some of the decisions taken.

how long is customary to wait to discuss a tracklising we've been waiting a long time for?
and how is it "pissing and moaning" to debate what's included and whats missing?
grow up and learn discourse.
