Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again

At this stage it won't be a miracle having WIBNTLA on the box set, it'll be even having the box set released

I think I have this boxed set…

I just bought it and I'm not sharing 

Imagine I bring a bottle of wine to a restaurant......

You all know, if it really is as good as people say, it will likely appear on the boxed set.

I think the panic comes from a lack of faith* that those who are compiling the box set think it's as good as people say. We know Alan Boyd believes it to be since he has touted it here and there, but I don't think he is involved in MiC. Or am I wrong?

*I personally am pretty confident (WIBN)TLA will be on the box set.

I don't think the concern has anything to do with whether the compilers think it's good.  People have different opinions, but surely they'll deem it more appealing than cr*p like Our Team, which made the first box set.

The issue  is whether the "certain party" that Andrew Doe keeps referring to will veto its inclusion for whatever bizarre reason.  According to him, WIBNTLA was vetoed before.  So it's certainly possible that it will be again..

Maybe I'm wrong on this as I have a terrrible memory but  didn't he say on another thread that it was Mike?

You are correct that it was Mike who vetoed the track from TWOTS. He said it was a downer.

[SMiLE Brian]

Ugh... Why does Mike act like a stereotype of himself.

[The Shift]

Mr T's wife.

[The Shift]

… and former Prime Minister.

I'm guessing Carry Me Home won't be on the box set then… though I've had a theory rattling round in my head that these two tracks could be thematically complementary…

Maybe Beach Boys_fr will buy this for us and then send us all copies.  If so, I'm first in line.

Glad he let the feel-good, fun, fun, fun 'Til I Die stay on there.

A friend just put it perfectly in saying, "It's not like the album is titled after the song about the president getting killed." I'll grant you that it would've been a bit of an odd inclusion on such a package, but still, I don't think it would've hurt anything by being on there.

Regardless, the mastering on the TWOTS album is total ass, if I recall correctly, and "Live Again" surely would've suffered the same fate. I'm kind of glad that we're getting it on a box set of rarities in 2013 instead, as the folks who run the Beach Boys show have seemingly wised up to an extent on not having insanely loud masters for new releases.

The guy paid $400 for something about to be a lot less valuable come August. Reminds me of when I paid $100 for the original 'Stack O Tracks' album. The internet brought forth many more copies and it isn't so rare or valuable.

I don't think so.  His copy of the song will always be unique.  It's not mastered and nobody except the compilers know which mix it is.  That goes for the rest of the promo as well.

It's probably more about personal value to him. He already noted that he wasn't even aware, and thus, didn't buy it for the song in question. Furthermore, he also said it was primarily about filling a hole in his collection, not necessarily resale or investment.

Beyond that, it's still something that while maybe not exactly a "one-off," is probably pretty darned close to a one-off. I did some liner notes and annotations for a few CDs on a small label, and IIRC, the number of reference check discs made were no more than five for each title. That, in itself, could put it in the 400 dollar range (especially considering the band in question here). I've seen actual proper promos go for that much, and this is far more unique (IMHO).

Just sayin'.

Well Melinda is around to fight that battle, Dennis isn't here to have his say

[Gertie J.]

fair enough.

[doc smiley]

Carry Me Home should be on the box set as well as California Slide. .
No question in my mind...   

[Mikie]

This obsession with the song is getting weird. Its not like beachboys fr. has the completed 1967 Smile album, its ONE song.  

What is "Smile"?

I think that this might be my favourite post of all time.

You must not read many posts.

Yes, its the best post ive ever read!

beachboys_fr - you are the man!!!  

Same with you.  Why was that your "favourite post of all time"?  Just curious.  I guess I don't understand.

Gonna have some value, $30???. Maybe you'd be Interested in my Bamboo stuff?

It's all about hearing the music in the best possible quality for me. If the song is indeed on the box, this cd will not be worth much in my thinking. Unless the guy is rich and collects anything he can whatever the price.

An obviously inferior mix won't make it more valuable. An alternate mix might.
