£81.99

You missed it… now up to £116+…!

[Matt Bielewicz]

I still see it at £81.99! Or maybe... it's gone BACK to that price??

Just to confirm, John - this IS the original SMiLE box, isn't it? This isn't a re-release with extra stuff I've missed, is it? I have pretty much had a break from the world of the Beach Boys after seriously obsessing about the launch of MiC for most of last year. Just temporarily burnt out, I guess. I'm sure I will be back...!

Aye Matt, this is the 2011 box with 5CDs, 2x7" and the double LP. I know, cos mine just got delivered this morning…!

And you're right, the price has re-dropped!

So have you bought a back up copy John? I'm always tempted as the sleeve to my vinyl is getting a little scuffed now and the box has a few marks too, but it seems awfully decadent ....

Aye, an indulgence. It'll sit boxed until V1 is worn out. Hadn't read the book yet as scared my wee brats will get jam on it if I leave it lying around! Decadent…? Well, it's the finest music ever made in my book, and I had some good news recently so…

Another thing… the price might come down again. Sainsburys is due to stop selling physical product soon to focus on downloads* so might want to clear stocks out.


* I don't think this will apply to groceries…!

Good for you, John! I agree that's its the finest music and well worth owning a back up copy. Enjoy the book (finally).

Thanks for the heads up. Will keep my eye on it!

It's gone!

Very odd - a search for Beach Boys CDs indicates 11 results but displays only 9… how does that work then?!?!

[bluesno1fann]

I guess if I was living in the UK, I'd grab the box set immediately!
Too bad I don't, and it's still very expensive here!

Once you convert quid to Oz, the Brit price is only about $20 less than this - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/The-Beach-Boys-Smile-Super-Deluxe-Box-Set-/331114875720?pt=AU_Audio_CDs&hash=item4d17fc0b48
