CAPITOL/EMI TO RELEASE "GOOD VIBRATIONS"/"HEROES AND VILLAINS" 78 RPM

[buddhahat]

Serious leap of logic and wishful thinking here ...

... but musing on the significance of a Barnyard quote etched into the 78 of H&V/GV:

It was once the tag of H&V, so could this be a hint that they've found a version that incorporates Barnyard as the tag?

Alternatively it's just a teaser and not indicative of any 'new' material to surface on TSS, but just makes me wonder; why Barnyard? Why not etch the Cantina section lyrics into the runout, or some other smile piece more obviously associated with Heroes or Good Vibrations? After all, even on BWPS, Barnyard is not part of Heroes.

Picked up Number 0985 at Townsend Music in Clitheroe. A thing of beauty. If I can retrieve my 78rpm player from my parents' house, I might even open it one day!

The SMiLE logo on the back, by the way, is 66/67 vintage though not the lettering from the cover slick. My copy of LLVS is in the attic, boxed, otherwise I'd reference it immediately. AGD will recognise it I'm sure.

Anyone who's opened one know what the quoted lyrics on the runout are yet?

Typical - Even the fans that own this disc can't tell us what's inside!

Just want to protect it for the day I do open it!

Looks very similar to the Smiley Smile tshirt lettering that Alan was wearing in 1967.  Can I find a photo ? Can I.... no, I cannot.

Good call -  it was reminding me of some Getting Hungry 45rpm artwork though again I'm not sure where to look for it…

Picked up this release in Tower Records Dublin this morning.

Cannot play it yet because don't have a 78rpm player so don't know how it sounds.

It's got a card inside with the message in red on a white background "SMiLE coming soon". Unlike the back cover, the typeface of the word smile is the same as the Frank Holmes album cover.

The words in the grooves:

Side A: Jump in the pig pen
Side B: Next time I'll take my shoes off
Side C: Hit the dirt, do two and a half
Sied D: Next time I'll leave my hat on.

No. 720

Not certain if this is the one to which you refer:

That's the one... and of course, on reflection, the lettering on the back of the 78s looks very little like what's on the shirt, except in overall shape. Phooey.

GAH I NEED IT. *runs out the door*

[GeorgeFellInHisHorn]

to anyone who's already picked up a copy from a store, what was the in-store price?

^ also if anyone from America has picked it up could ya let us know the price? Thanks!

Apparently the H&V on this release is 3m and 39 secs - I can't seem to find a version that is this long (or short) - I haven't heard it

Any ideas anyone??

Never seen that one before. Would love to have a T-shirt with that logo myself.

It is $13.99 in Canada.  Being a total sucker, I bought two copies from different stores.  No. 5530 and 6793.  Will open one when I have access to a capable turntable.

[Runaways]

BACK. with number 3261.

i think the store i went to had only 2.  They may have had more in the back.  I got there right before the store opened, saw one other person walking around with the other.  this thing is amazing looking.  american price was 12.95. 

I will now open it cause i see no point in leaving it sealed.  This is meant to be listened to. 

*play by play*
I like the outside a lot.  The gold is embossed a lil and shiny.  The SMiLE ad on the inside is a nice touch, definitely using the original logo.  The label is brown.  and man i never would have noticed the Barnyard lyrics in the groove if y'all didn't mention it first. 

how wild would it have been if they didn't announce the smile sessions until people saw the ad in this release?

Good Vibrations sounds pretty good.  The player i have access to that plays 78s isn't as nice, but it sounds solid. 
The a capella scatting part for heroes and villains sounds reaaally nice.  All the vocals for it sound great actually.  Never heard Brian sound so close on the part after "healthy wealthy and wise" (first time hearing these two on vinyl).  It seems to be a normal version/edit.  Actually i just noticed that both good vibrations and heroes and villains were given a 3:39 running time...so that may be an error?

I didn't get that close! What a ZOO; 200 people standing in a line winding around the store, to get a chance to look thru all the RSD releases. 
Makes Ebay more appealing, fer sure. I skipped out, not wanting to spend 1-1/2 hours waiting, to find out it was gone....

[Runaways]

yeah it took me 15 mins in and out.  convenient.

[Shady]

So upset. Sold out in both tower records stores I went to.

When I went to the second Tower, some German dude had just got the last one, along with like 6 other singles which I don't understand because the rule was one each.

I did come away with a Beach Boys Today! Vinyl, Capitol vaults edition 

[hypehat]

Pottered out today at about 11am and my record shop had a queue round the block, and had been open since 8am. Didn't feel it was worth swinging by later....

[LeeDempsey]

I was about 60th in line at the only record store in Charlotte participating in RSD.  They opened at 10AM, and were letting about 20 people in at a time (small store).  By the time I got to through the door the 3 copies of the Beach Boys release that they had been allocated were already gone...  But I got on eBay from my iPhone and was able to buy a copy for $19.95 + $4.00 s&h, and I've already gotten the shipping confirmation.  Comes out to about $10.00 over what I would have paid locally, but oh well.

There are a couple on ebay already, btw....
