Folks, AGD is AGD, and that's why we have the excellent Bellagio website (thanks also to c-man and others, of course). So, take the good and the bad of the equation. Though, personally, his bickering about the WLCD PR campaign doesn't bother me at all. It's just a thread in a message board.

Andrew, with all due respect, this is just pop music and it is  just a pop song, not the Taliban.

Yeah, but this is just a message board about just a pop group. So you're allowed to make a really big deal out of things like these here. That's what boards like these are all about.

There are some great points of view above.  But I'm with AGD on this.  It's very easy to say 'available, widely, for the first time" or something like that. 

Is this important in the big picture of things happening in this world we live in?  No.  But it's so easily possible to get things right if the people involved would only do so.  It wouldn't or shouldn't change sales.  If the readers are fans and didn't know about it they're going to buy it anyway.  If they're not then it doesn't matter.  Just a thought.

Isn't it possible that the PR person who wrote the press release was just misinformed and didn't bother to check the facts? Brian's management says it's "new" because it's in wide release-- "We need a press release for Brian's new single." And all of a sudden it's "brand new." Brian's management sees the error but figures it's not a big deal. It's brand new to most people. They never anticipated that the Smiley Smile people take such a personal interest in Brian's songwriting habits that they'd nitpick over this.

I mean, if this is the kind of deception the insiders have been hinting at over the years, I'm not too worried.

I think it's quite simple: true or not, "new song" sounds a heck of a lot better in a press release than "some three year old song that remained practically unnoticed until we decided to give it a publicity boost".

Except that... in this instance, Brian's 'management' (and I use the word in its very loosest context here) have yet to say word one about this (re)release, as far as I can see. So... business as usual, then.  Grin

If you wanted truth in advertising, you were out of luck with the Beach Boys from the moment Capitol had four non-surfers posing with a surfboard.

It's not just that I want truth in advertising, but that I want truth in everything. Any individual example of its absence may not be a big deal in and of itself, but to me it's something important and I am disappointed when others don't agree with that. But I understand that others don't agree with that. So, such is life.
