Love and Mercy Soundtrack

[rab2591]

Am I the only one who's really disappointed they didn't throw in at least one goodie from the archives? Something from the Bedroom Tapes?

I'm hoping maybe there will be some sort of archival release of that nature around the time "I Am Brian Wilson" comes out next year, maybe.

 

Ohh man, I really hope so. After those lengthy two articles in the LA Times (I think) I'd hope Capitol would realize the small but hearty demand for the Bedroom Tapes tracks.

It might be difficult to do an archival Brian-themed release unless they’re all home demos or something. As soon as studio tracks start coming into play, it becomes a BRI/Beach Boys situation, assuming pre-80's stuff is part of it, and potentially even if it's only later stuff. They have used ostensibly “Beach Boys era” Brian-centric recordings on “Brian Wilson” releases a few times in the past (the “Still I Dream of It” studio demo, where Mike was probably sitting right next to him while he played it, the early 80s “Night Bloomin’ Jasmine” track from the BW’88 reissue, and the “In the Back of My Mind” demo from some NPP editions). So I’m not sure there would be a problem clearing material for a “Brian Wilson” solo release. (Then again, didn’t they have problems clearing even a stripped-back “Baby Blue” for the POB deluxe set?)

[HeyJude]

Anyone seeing a listing for the download on iTunes or Amazon Music yet? It appears as though they may be rushing the digital release of this for awards season (Grammies at least), so I realize this may not be on the usual timetable. But usually a day before release they have some sort of listing if not previews. Curious if they'll get that all up by tomorrow morning.

I've been checking ever so often with no luck, but I think they'll just drop it tomorrow. Anyone think this will hit iTunes directly at midnight?

They had to remove Carl and Bruce's backing vocals from Love Surrounds Me.

Ok. Not the first time this has happened, but I seem to have it now on Spotify here in NZ.

I sh!t you not!


edit: A few weeks ago someone asked which show L&M at the end came from. Its listed as the Royal Festival Hall.

I could tell from how Brian looked, it was from one of the shows on the Pet Sounds Live in London DVD.

Nothing yet. I think iTunes releases that just "appear" like this do so early in the morning Eastern Standard Time..6-7 AM.

Play Store has it in Oz now

Uh-oh - is this that one that has nothing to do with the official soundtrack popping up again, or is it the real thing?

[Pretty Funky]

I'm definitely listening to the real deal. We also had the MIC early as well a few years back. The thinking was that a small market such as this is a 'test' for itunes before it goes 'live'.

edit: Now on NZ itunes.

Wow - That's great news!

[debonbon]

On Australian Spotify and iTunes now. Couldn't find it on itunes at first but found it by searching Paul Dano.

[Pretty Funky]

I've just been searching 'Love and Mercy Soundtrack' and it comes right up.

Just realised my links may only relate to my accounts. Never mind, its coming, and sounds good.

[debonbon]

Hah yeah it does. I was searching Love & Mercy and it found zip.

I wish it was all 11 Atticus Ross tracks. It's great but not enough.

It's August 14th, down under (I'm sure you hate that phrase).

I'm going to keep checking this evening on the US iTunes. Hoping they put it up before I turn in. Thanks for posting the link to the NZ iTunes. It was nice to hear the clear samples.

[SMiLE Brian]

So close!!!!!!!!!!

[GoodVibrations33]

Us in the U.S. can listen to the previews at least in iTunes if you click on the link provided by Pretty Funky and change your iTunes store setting to NZ (click on the American Flag icon, bottom right of most iTunes pages).

Thanks GoodVibrations33!!!!

WOW. The audio on the Ross tracks is outstanding...every note and spoken word is so clear.

Edit: just finished listening. Don't want to spoil it for others, but I will say there are a lot of little surprises - mostly in the way they mixed parts of some of the tracks that differ from the movie.

Also, praise for that isolated Mike vocal in the Til I Die section of 'The Bed Montage'. There's something about the way he sings that. Perfection. So glad Ross thought to put that in.

Blown away by this whole soundtrack. Really well put together, and though I do wish we got the entire Ross score, I'm totally happy with what we got here. It's been a tremendous year for Beach Boys fans!

Not a good idea to hand wash the dinner plates while listening to 'Losing It'!
