Who has ever had a big slap from ebay ? For listing a ummmm you know what !

[37!ws]

BTW...said person who had an Adult/Child vinyl -- a person whom I might or might not know -- got the take-down notice AFTER the item had actually sold! So the buyer still got it.

[TheLazenby]

GODDAMMIT!

They killed that "Smile" Vigotone set now. :-(  I really wanted that, too - that was the cheapest I'd ever seen it.

[Mikie]

Geez, that thing has been out since what, 1993, and you're a Smile-o-phile and still don't have it??

[TheLazenby]

For one thing, I was *six* in 1993....

And no, because every copy I see online (other than this one) costs a ridiculous amount.

lesson for the future: if you see something you like of this sort, immediately message the seller( even if it's a silly or odd question/statement);
this way you'll at least have a conduit to them should the item disappear

[TheLazenby]

Yeah, well..... too late now. :-(

Though it goes without saying - if anyone on here has one to spare (and is willing to be reasonable), you know where my inbox is....

If you're obsessed with Smile, as I know you are, then you've already heard every fragment of music on all three albums of the set. Only difference is the purty vinyl, the poster, and the cover. That's it!  If you're a big collector, then I can see a reason to get it.  Otherwise, well, the Smile Sessions have been released and the bootlegs (which progressed leaps and bounds in quality since 1993) have since slowed to a trickle.

[TheLazenby]

Well, to be fair, I just bought the "Heroes And Villains Sessions Parts 1 & 2" CD in a record shop, and I can almost guarantee I've heard all of that.  Not to mention, in much, MUCH better quality - and not at chipmunk speed.

(Besides - the Vigotone Smile has that entire side of Psycodelic Sounds material.)

[Mikie]

The H&V Sessions boot is a good one. Be sure to get the Purple Chick Smile, Secret Smile, and the SOT's if you don't have them already. And of course the Smile boots list on the other thread as a guideline.

[TheLazenby]

I think I have the Purple Chick Smile, never cared much for it for some of their editing tactics (like that ugly slow-down at the end of "Look").  Was "Secret Smile" just a set of MP3's?  In that case, I think I have that as well.

Someone found me a really inexpensive Vigotone "Smile" vinyl set (with all the goodies attached) so I have that on the way, too. 

[TheLazenby]

As far as vinyl boots go, I think the last one I'll try to find is the 'second edition' Brother one.

Does anyone know what's so different about that, other than obviously the removal of the Miles Davis track?  Like, do they use an actual Smile version of "Wonderful" rather than the Smiley Smile one?

Yes, they do. Looks like you just missed one!

You didn't before, but you do now! 

[Tricycle Rider]

You're one of the good one's Mikie! 

[TheLazenby]

Wow.... that REALLY sucks, I didn't even see that auction. :-( 

Man, "Secret Smile" is ROUGH to get through, isn't it?  I heard Brian abort 12 takes of "Cabinessence", then realized in horror the REST OF THE DISC was more of the same. :-P

[Mikie]

You're one of the good one's Mikie! 

Thanks, TR.

Can't get enough of the Cab outtakes. It's one of the absolute masterpieces in his repertoire and I'll mop up whatever's out there! 

[TheLazenby]

There are just so many outtakes in these sessions where Brian stops everything for no apparent reason, and you just want to scream "GODDAMMIT BRIAN, IT WAS FINE!!"

I guess to him the instruments didn't sound enough like jewelry, or crying, or velvet pancakes. :-P

Ditto, John! How can anyone NOT want to hear how that amazing piece of music was put together?

But "velvet pancakes"? Really?? What sounded like THAT??!

[John Manning]

Going back to the original post, if only Rob had an online store where he could display his wares … I'm particularly missing the two disc release of … and … and …

You obviously never saw "Walk Hard".

[TheLazenby]

Quick question - are there only four unofficial Smile vinyls?  The original boot (Brother Records), the Second Edition (Brother Records), the 3-LP colored edition (Vigotone) and the recent colored single-disc version (Sea Of Tunes)?

[Mikie]

Quick answer - the first two were put out by the same guy. The third and fourth ones were put out by different guys.

[TheLazenby]

But that's all there is?  Like, once I get the Second Edition I'll be done?  (I have the first edition + Vigotone in the mail + Sea Of Tunes already.)
