Vinyl: Ebay score....

I'm pretty excited right now - Just picked up the Australian issued "Rarities" LP for $8.55 AU.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=230331487931
I've read the BB's sued Capitol AU for this after it came out & was promptly removed from sale.
I expected a bidding war.

Unfortunately what you have bought isnīt the rare withdrawn "Rarities" album.
The one you should look out for is called "Brian Wilson Rarities":

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

I think its worth repeating the story behind the withdrawl of the Australian rarities set - conventional wisdom says it was because of a false claim that the Beach Boys played on the Survivors track on the album - this is not true according to Stephen McParland who compiled the album with Genn A Baker.
At the Sydney get together in January 2008 (which Brian attended) McParland explained that the real problem was the use of the two Dennis tracks, Lady and Sound Of Free. As the Rarities album was coming out on Capital, a division of EMI and because the Dennis tracks were relesed on Paralophone, also a division of EMI, it was incorrectly assumed that they had the rights to use the tracks. Parlaphone promptly sent a letter asking for a licensing fee for the tracks or the album should be withdrawn. As only 500 albums were ever printed Capital Australia just decided to ignore the Parlaphone request and not reprint the album - so technically not withdrawn.
The Survivors story has some basis as the guy from the band (sorry can't remember his name) did make a fuss and make threats so McParland and and Baker basically said "yeah, yeah, sorry" and let that be - the real reason was the Dennis tracks licencince issue with Parlaphone.

Only 500 pressed? Whew, it seemed so easy to get at the time in the UK.

500 would make it really hard to find, and it is. Yet by how many I have seen offered over the years I would think there were more.

I managed to get mine for maybe 40 bucks on ebay about 8 years ago. Then I spent tons of money buying the original 45s on ebay.
Both the American and Australian "Rarities" albums are indeed a great listen.
