new comp announced - June 10 - U.S. Singles

[XY]

Interesting.  Plenty of Stereo Remix gold there.  Particularly numbers 5, 8a, 9a, 12b, and 16a.  Please God.

But then the title 'single collection' is misleading. If I buy a single collection, I want the original singles and not alternate versions of those songs. 

[Rocker]

Sounds like the same RCA/BMG did with Elvis a few years ago. Only that those singles were actually released as such and added some more no1 onto Elvis' UK-statistics (btw there was one bonus track each on the singles). The box that was released afterwards was also a success iirc. Hopefully the Beach Boys will also have succes. I think it's a very nice idea. It's kinda a new way to bring out a best-of 

[The Shift]

Wasn't there a bootleg set of US singles quite recently, which amounted to 6CDs? Wonder if the "16" was a mistyping? I can't see Capitol EMI putting out a 6 CD set.

Found it... the sixth disc was a bunch of promo-only tracks and other slight oddities. (Excuse the formatting -  this is a crude tidy-up of a cut & paste).  The full line-up is on Bootlegzone.com and yes it does appear to be a fan compilation rathe than a silver disc boot.

Who is the fool that keeps milking the Beach Boys back catalogue!!!

I wanna meet him and kick his ass

Uh, the board of directors at EMI?  You'd have you work cut out for you and also ruin any chance of any future Beach Boys releases.  Also, you'd go to jail!

Such vitriol, in some people, kicking people's asses for releasing records (that we don't have to buy) from a band we love.  I'd hate to see what you want to do to people that put out records by acts you don't like.

Hey, sorry I sounded a bit out of control, but it makes The Beach Boys look very cheap having all these comps being released, it also keeps taking focus of there actual albums.

Come on how many greatest hits do they have it has to be over 500 now, and have you seen some of the tracklisting on some of them, it's  just ridiculous

I still don't see how that would lead to violence, especially considering as I said before that nobody is making you buy them, or even go to the "B" section in the record store to look at them.  Between the Beach Boys never putting anything out and putting out Comps, I'll take the latter.  The comps will "win" new fans, weird fan-oriented releases won't.  And if some hits comp is able to draw even one person into the Beach Boys and they find the joy that I have from them...it's worth putting out a hits compilation every year, if just for the advertising.

[petsite]

Now, if we could just get something like this, it would all be worth it.

You mean sixteen 3-inch Mini CD's for each single incl. bonus track? That, of course, would be the ultimate singles on CD experience.

Can't help noticing that the stereo "IGA" isn't announced as either a new remix or previously unreleased. I'm thinking, maybe live ?

And btw it's not ALL the singles 1962-65. - not that I personally give a flying one, but "Barbara-*******-Ann" was released December 1965. 

Oh, and the price in the Uk is £72.99. 

[XY]

That's great!

... "Barbara-*******-Ann" ...

and "The Little Girl I Once Knew" of course. Perhaps on Vol. 2?

[Joshilyn Hoisington]

Wow.  Guess I'd better start saving up now.

I'm breathlessly wondering about what IGA is, too.

[dsl]

Wow....This sounds really nice, although the 'mock sand' might be a little wierd.
Why do they think we need "Punchline" again?
Yes, I know it wasn't Capitol, but wouldn't the "Surfin'"/"Luau" single had been a nice bonus?

Both "I Get Around" and "Do You Wanna Dance" are the backing tracks........  The press release needs correcting. BTW where did this announcement come from?

[Ana-Lu]

Is the second version of Please Let Me Wonder stereo?

[Roger Ryan]

Is the second version of Please Let Me Wonder stereo?

It probably is since it was remixed in stereo for last year's WARMTH OF THE SUN collection.

Thanks Mark - I've seen a release from Spin records in the UK posted on another MB. Someone jumped the gun ?

Seems like the Beach Boys will never stop eating their own. Once again they are showing no respect for Dennis Wilson. The release date is the day before POB's new release. Stupid MF's. Oh...right...its just a coincidence.

[c-man]

Maybe it will get pushed back a month or two (as usually happens with BBs releases), while Dennis' package hits the streets on time.

I hope you all get the humor in that last part...

[the captain]

...while Dennis' package hits the streets on time.

I hope you all get the humor in that last part...

No kidding. Maybe when planned, the BBs assumed POB would be out when it was originally--or even revised to be--scheduled for release, and their months-later comp could ride a wave of renewed interest.

[yrplace]

One more clarification/ correction......

Disc 5 cut #4- Be True.... is the mono version from the "Little Deuce Coupe" lp   

BTW the release date of the box has nothing to do with the POB release by Sony except perhaps that everyone wants to release B. Boys product in the summertime.....

[Joshilyn Hoisington]

Mark, is the I Get Around track the same mix as appeared on the GV boxset, or did you tweak it at all?

[Alan Boyd]

Seems like the Beach Boys will never stop eating their own. Once again they are showing no respect for Dennis Wilson. The release date is the day before POB's new release. Stupid MF's. Oh...right...its just a coincidence.

Jon, it IS a coincidence.  The Beach Boys and Brother Records have been very supportive of the POB reissue, jumping through hoops to find masters and clear various legal issues in order to facilitate this release... and I know this because I was doing a lot of the jumping.

You also have to consider the numerous delays for the release date of POB, which had nothing to do with the Beach Boys (but, to be fair, were about everyone involved wanting to make sure that the POB reissue was the absolute best it could be).

The ridiculous assertion that the Beach Boys are "again showing no respect for Dennis Wilson" serves no purpose other than to stir up old baggage and make it more difficult to do these kinds of projects in the future.

[yrplace]

Mark, is the I Get Around track the same mix as appeared on the GV boxset, or did you tweak it at all?

Same mix. There's nothing to tweak since it is just two track stereo....... Wish we had more (like the vocals) but it is still one of my alltime favorites. Simply amazing how the record was conceptualized with that backing track. Not at all what you would expect.
