Yeah, I gotta admit, that was brilliant.

Speaking of Andrew (and Inknow it's not necessarily the case that he's any more clued up than the rest of us), it occurs to me that the most bleedin' obvious reason why the box set has been delayed has been looking at in the face since July/August: the supposedly Japan-only mono/stereo remasters must have included, between them, a whole slew of tracks that had been destined for the box, to make their stereo or mono debuts there.

The hurried and unexpected release due to demand of these discs in wider markets must have deprived the box compilers of a reasonable amount of otherwise exclusive material, and forced them back to the archive to replace a considerable amount of material with other previously unreleased stuff.

Just speculating… but if any one here can confirm/deny the theory, it's Andrew.





Or Craig.

Sometimes the bleedin' obvious is simply too obvious.  

My understanding, which is far from perfect, is that the Japanese remasters were always a stand-alone project, unconnected with anything that was happening in the Tower or environs.

[The Shift]

Aye, understood. But I'm assuming Mark's remixes were available to both the Japanese and the US/everywhere else EMIs and that while the Japanese had the bright idea of re-issuing a trenche of albums, the US compilers might have decided, completely independently, to include some of those individual new stereo album tracks in the box. Then they gets call fro marketing to say they've decided to copy the Japanese and re-issue the albums. And the box set compilers think "damn, Fall Breaks…" (for example) was gonna be one of our exclusive jewels… we'd better rethink the track list."

Just speculating…

[Andrew G. Doe]

Speculation is good. Even when it's completely wide of the mark...

I also think it's been obvious for months that the mono/stereo releases ave something to do with the delay of the box. I just assumed not that the track listing had anything to do with it, but rather that the US releases of the mono/stereo deals were last minute decisions and the box is delayed so that the all the releases can find their market.  I mean, i'm buying these releases 3 cds per month, and I wnat the box, but if they were all released at once I wouldnt be buying the box until next year anyway. I am hankering for a track list though.

Good points, well made.

You think wrongly.    At the risk of   I'll repeat - the mono/stereo remasters have not in any way impacted on the status of the box set. Sometimes that which appears to be obvious... isn't. 

[Freddie French-Pounce]

I stand by the opinion that, whatever we say, it'll be incorrect!

[Lowbacca]

I stand by the opinion that, whatever we say, it'll be incorrect!

So it'll be... correct?









 


To be honest by now I don't really care if it comes out in 2012 or 2013. Or 2014.

[lance]

If by 'obvious' you mean 'not-really-obvious-in-the-way-obvious-means-for-most-humanbeings-fools-that-they-are' then I whole-heartedly agree.

[The Shift]

Actually you're not necessarily correct…

Actually you're not necessarily correct…

But is that correct or incorrect?

In between. Well, not exactly, it is a 47% to 53% position.

That is what my Casio just told me.

[Catbirdman]

Call me Eeyore, but I have a real bad feeling about this box set. I couldn't care less whether it's released this year or next; all I care about is that it has the maximum amount of value when it does get released. To me that means unreleased tracks, plain and simple. I have this sickening gut feeling that the delays are due to one thing and one thing only:

A Beach Boy (or three) is hemming and hawing about the tracklist, throwing their weight around, causing a stink.

When that happens, I get very scared. Mike and Al scare me the most. In my nightmares I see multiple holy grails falling on the cutting room floor, destined to be unheard (until possibly 2112, when all original Beach Boys and a few generations thereafter are distant memory, and the world is hungry for history, and all is fair game in the public domain... but I'll be pushing daisies by then, so I couldn't care less...)

(Actually the most likely scenario is that all we insatiable apes will have finally overbred and depleted resources to the point where we have totally infested the planet, and we go back to hunting and gathering in a world that's nasty, brutish and short... and then Yellowstone erupts and ends life as we know it anyway.)

Duuude..... THIS before I had my first coffee....?

Yeah, I've already had 5 cups so I can face anything thrown at me. The inevitable demise of our species, and eventually the planet, doesn’t trouble me in the least. Everything ends if you wait long enough.

Other random reactions:
1. I love the button, great font.
2. That "MaDE iN cALiFoRNiA” comment was one of the funniest, coolest things I’ve ever read on this board, as was Micha’s “D’oe!”
