...last year's 'U.S. Singles CD Collection' box? It's on offer but is it worth it, I mean: the 'new' mixes and suchlike?"

Tks, THD.

i say go for it. The mixes are great. Only problem for me is the $120. If they reduce it to $60 i would have bought it. I got the mixes only from a fan who bought it.

Thank you - there are a couple of offers here which have it at the equivalent of around € 60 (new and sealed).

fo maerd ot smaerd ynam os s'ereht...

Exactly how many (so many) new mixes are on the singles box?

The new stereo mixes of PLMW, LHRW and Wendy on the "Warmth of the Sun" anthology
were SO great! I heard that one on the singles box is She Knows Me Too Well, which alone would be worth a (reduced) price.

Now there's a real thought... it's an Irish song! Sounds like a Biblical quotation... perhaps it means: thou shalt not consult other spirits than thy one and only God all-mighty (so: a warning against Landy...).

almost all the songs are stereo & mono. There is a live "unreleased" version of 409 from i believe 1965. The Do you wanna dance track is just great. Starting with only instument, at the half the vocals come in and it ends with vocals only  Shocked

I'd be interested to know who's offering it at that price... (certainly not AmazonUK!)

Can someone recommend which tracks off iTunes are especially recommended.   The information on 409 and Do YOu Wanna Dance above was helpful.

When it came out last June, you could buy it from Amazon France for €45 (shipping to France included). I got mine at that price - I would never have paid more for it. Honestly, it's not really worth €60. Just download the exclusive tracks from iTunes... Or ask someone who has the set if he would be willing to discuss the tracks with you.  Roll Eyes

On a Dutch 2nd hand site (owned by Ebay) a few retailers offer it at around € 35,00. New and sealed. Go to: www.marktplaats.nl and type in: 'beach boys box' and you're there. Should you be interested and require a translation, PM me.

I've seen those as well. Looking at the pictures, the latest offer is not a sealed copy although the seller says it is. Still, €35 is a bargain (if you don't have to recalculate in $$).

I'm still hoping that there will be a follow-up to this release (66-69), but I'm affraid chances are not that high...

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.

Listening to you I get the music; Gazing at you I get the heat; Following you I climb the mountain; I get excitement at your feet
Right behind you I see the millions; On you I see the glory; From you I get opinions; From you I get the story
