Tracklisting looks like it is just various live radio recordings (such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/Live-at-Fillmore-East-1971/dp/B01A9U6JEG/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517355335&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=live+at+filmore+east+beach+boys and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nassau-Coliseum-Beach-Boys/dp/B0776K417C/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1517355347&sr=1-1 ) thrown into one package. Two discs are Carl Wilson shows.

Probably nothing official, rigt? I'm fascinated by radiobroadcasts and wished that something could be released officially. There are a lot of good and great shows that were broadcast and could make for a cool boxset or something like that.

This indeed appears to simply be a big box containing previously-released (grey market or otherwise) radio broadcasts like the Carl solo gigs, along with other live radio broadcast stuff that has been for sale from "Wolfgang's Vault/Concert Vault" online for years.

Hopefully someone can show this set to BRI and say "Look at this. Crappy, cheapie packaging and just duped from radio broadcast tapes and/or boots. Let's do a 9-CD (or however many discs) set of our own, where it'll sound great and have a thoughtful track selection (e.g. maybe we don't need "California Girls" 20 times). Obviously, I don't think BRI could put out Carl solo stuff. But BRI has the multis on a lot of that stuff like Washington DC 1980 (which truly needs to also see the *full* show, or at least more than the old hour-long edit, released on DVD as well).

I know that they are grey area releases, however it does show damn good value for money.
Its worth it alone for the superb Nassau show from 1974 (I've still got that on cassette  :lol) in fact I think I have all those shows on audio tape.

If it was an official release, there's no way it would be that cheap :)

Interesting fan art style cover - looks like it could be either also by or heavily inspired by Marcus Oakley's art (can't find the exact drawing online now but it used to be on pinterest according to google image search)

and there's a version with alternative (also pretty cool) artwork here http://www.jcrmusicnews.com/en/cd/23363-beach-boys-wave-of-sunshine-the-complete-broadcasts-9cd-box.html

If you collect live BB  shows, this set is simply a collection of the common live shows that were on the radio. For example, the Washington DC 1967 tape, the 1971 Fillmore Closing, the 1974 Long Island show, 1980 live broadcast, the live broadcast from 1981, Carl  Wilson My Father's Place show,
1985 show for feeding the world. Chances are many of you already have most of them.

As I mentioned in my post in January, this set is a prime example of something that should motivate BRI to do a "Live Archives" sort of program, releasing multiple shows per month digitally, with a CD boxed set of highlights.
