Would YOU buy a Mike Love Solo box set?

[smilethebeachboysloveyou]

Disc 1: Looking Back with Love
Disc 2: First Love (even though it was recorded before LBWL, I think it would make more sense to start with the officially released one)
Disc 3: Unleash the Love/Mike Love, Not War

That wouldn't be a bad box at all.  Then again, most people seem to hate LBWL, so what do I know?

But it would be a deal-breaker if they included Country Love.

[Nicko1234]

A much more sensible and desirable release I would have thought would be a 1 or 2 disc set featuring the best stuff from Celebration and Mike's solo stuff. That actually probably wouldn't be too bad.

[2 and a half]

Yes - right after I'd bought the Lieutenant Pigeon box set.

[petzounds29]

 No to the box set but I would like the Celebration recordings on one cd.

[Smilin Ed H]

Yes, as long as LBWL and all that awful stuff he did with Adrian Baker was left off it

[Alan Smith]

Yeah, but only on vinyl.

Can we include SIP in the deck, off the back of recent suggestions that SIP is better if you approach it as a Love thing?

[ThyRavenAscend]

nope...just nope.

[SMiLE Brian]

This set wouldn't be "commercial" enough....

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

I really hope this happens just to read the reviews.

We should buy Oldsurferdude a copy!

Nah, just get him to write the liner notes!

[Jason]

I'd buy it. It'd be a good reason to get Looking Back With Love and the Celebration stuff on CD, plus the fact that First Love and Mike Love Not War deserve a release.

Two copies!

[Cabinessenceking]

No.

[Dancing Bear]

I've compiled myself a single set with the best of Celebration / First Love / LBWL / MLNW / some assorted tracks. It's not bad, let's say as good a listen as any 78 - 85 Beach Boys' album can aspire to be.

It would be good to have the First Love tracks in good quality.

[chrs_mrgn]

Yeah, but only on vinyl.

Better if you approach it as a HEY NOW - WELL IT'S A LOVE THING

Could you reveal your tracklisting? I'd be really interested in seeing it.

[ontor pertawst]

I would only buy it if he worked on all the songs with himself in a room. AND if it had extensive liner notes explicitly comparing Country Love to Hitler.

AND if it came with fake beardage on the packaging. That you could stroke and fondle while listening to the unreleased tracks.

Why, you could make it look like a book! A disgusting, beardy book.

[Disney Boy (1985)]

If the box set included First Love I would stampede to buy it coz it's a sodding great album!!

[RubberSoul13]

Be True to Your Bud

Do I even want to ask about this?

That might be in the top ten worst things I've ever heard.

Depends which mix.

[Fun Is In]

Buy? No.
Listen to it if received it free? Probably not.

Oooo! I like this alot!
You've got my two favs from LBWL.
I'd prolly have a couple more Celebration tunes- Cruisin', Go And Get that Girl, and Country Pie.


Surprised nobody has insisted on the Disco Celebration disc being included.
