New Beach Boys 2012 Remasters!

[tansen]

I'm getting them all. And funnily enough the price for all of them will probably be just a bit above what you have to pay for three-four of the Japanese issues

[Andrew G. Doe]

These are listed at the UK site also, aloing with this:

Greatest Hits: 50 Big Ones [Import]
Beach Boys (Artist) | Format: Audio CD

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Greatest-Hits-50-Big-Ones/dp/B008U6QAA0/

So, 50 Big Ones it is!  No further details given as yet.

CORRECTION: other than the Sept 25 release date, same as the imported remasters.

Imported to the UK, that is: the US and Japanese ASIN numbers appear to differ on the different Amazon sites.  This might be US discs after all, Phil; that price might well fall.

Permission to be insufferably smug and say "told ya so" at ten minute intervals ?

Permission granted.

See, we all just needed a little patience.  September 25th will be a great day for the Beach Boys catalog in the US.

USA! USA! USA!

 


f*** yeah!

Now we Brits and other Europeans is gonna bitch!

We all (most) know to trust you. Just a shame about not knowing about U.S. release of the Mono/Stereo albums. Could have saved me $50.00 on the 3 titles I ordered. So Andrew, are these in addition to or in place of the Box Set?

Maybe they'll be bundled into a box as well!

You got three for $50? Bargain!  Course, a real fan would buy the Japanese, US and European* issues in case of pressing differences.

* European? I'm a-hopin'!

[tansen]

I think he meant that the price he paid is equal to three US titles plus $50. But that estimate can't be right (as I'm guessing the US versions will go for about $11-12 bucks each when released), which means it's about $60-63 that could have been 'saved'.

I wish! No, I paid $35/disc versus these new U.S. ones at $20 + shipping. The difference being close to $50. I could have bought 5 U.S. versions for what I paid for the 3 Japanese versions.

I have feeling that 50BO will be a VERY average compilation consisting of hardly anything beyond Endless Summer + PS hits + GetchaBack & Kokomo

The rebooted box set is a different project entirely. Patience, my robots... patience.

I have a feeling it will consist of 50 tracks dating 1961-2012, and that the vast majority will be US charting singles. For Joe Q. Public, I'd call that an outstanding compilation.

Where is a certain Mr. Cohen today?

Can anyone fill in for him?

Only the new ones won't cost $20/disc, but more like $12/disc. So in reality that's about 8 U.S. versions for 3 Japanese. Not to rub it in or anything (unless of course you're Phil Cohen).

[Ziggy Stardust]

Finally! hopefully tho it'll have some bonsu and that 50 Big Ones won't be just a simple greatest hits

All this means is that WallOfSilence is now screwing the fans at an unprecedented level: if these are the mono and stereo remasters, the fans have been raked over the coals being forced to pay for them twice. If they are the remasters, the lack of any marketing muscle tells me that they will be somehow inferior, and may be just reissues of the late-90s single disc releases. Worse, they might be lossy audio or contain subpar packaging written in Portuguese. Most likely these are an error with Amazon, because there's been no word from the Capitol tower! And Brian Wilson hasn't tweeted anything. Nor have we seen a tracklist. They could be coming out in 8-track. Also, I believe Capitol is just buying time and they have contracted with God to direct an asteroid to come crashing into the earth and ending life as we know it, thus getting them off the hook so they won't have to answer to the hard-working fans for their WallOfSilence and how it has exploited and oppressed we the 99%, and we should Occupy Tower to protest this outrage! There aren't even any bonus tracks!!! The Cubs will win the World Series before we get product from Capitol that will make me happy!!!!!

Incredible...

Still a few disappointing exclusions  

[Heysaboda]

By the way, thank you Smiley Smile Net posters!  This news came just in time for me to cancel one of the Japan CDs I'd ordered from Amazon USA.

I've now ordered all 12 of the "real" USA ones coming Sept. 25, plus the 2 GH sets.

DROOL SLOBBER

USA!  USA!  USA!  USA!

 

[The Shift]

On the basis of the last few days' performance I'd say the Phil knocking is somewhat misplaced – he's posted some darn useful info and even on one occasion out-expertised our resident expert!  Pessimism aside, he's one damn knowledgeable guy and goes into stuff very thoroughly. That he has a different outlook on the outcome can be bloody infuriating but I'll take my hat off to him - he's filled in a fair few blanks recently.

Was just wonderin'. Seems like a whole lot of Beach Boys for a one year period, including TSS from last November.
