New album project incorrectly described in online article.

[Alan Smith]

Al Jardine spills the beans its a non-starter!

+1.That's exactly what I'm holding out for

[shelter]

The fact that Mike lost that lawsuit over a disc that was labeled as "the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson" would mean he's allowed to release an album under "the Beach Boys' Mike Love," so he would be permitted to mention that association in some way.  That Daily Mail Brian Wilson CD also included photos of the original Beach Boys on the cover, including Mike.  So, presumably Mike is legally allowed to include photos of the original Beach Boys on any CD cover, including pictures of Brian. Even without Brian being on the recording or Brian's permission. 

I'm no expert when it comes to legal issues, but there's probably a difference between what you can get away with on a UK only freebie, and a commercial worldwide release.

First thing I thought when I saw this topic was "Mike is finally going to do that followup to SIP he mentioned back in 1993, 'Masterpiece'."

[phirnis]

The follow-up to SIP was going to be called Masterpiece?! Seriously, WTF...

[Cam Mott]

I still don't see where it means just M & B making an album.

 If you were going to have a C55 album and tour now would be when you were planning it wouldn't it?

Full Access Magazine and posted by ESQ, "...Following their tour state-side and a tour overseas in 2015, fans can expect The Beach Boys to put forth a new album in 2017."

Plain language looks to me that there will be an album in 2017 by The Beach Boys.  I'm not seeing anything vague or unclear (as long as the source is credible, and ESQ seems to be that) and it surely appears to be  an announcement.  

Sounds good to me!

The implication being therefore that here will also be a full line-up tour before the album's release.

Planet Beach Boy is surely in alignment with Jupiter, Hersheys and Skaro right now…

The "implication" is beyond the statement.  The statement is clear (as long as it is credible) but a studio offering doesn't necessarily mean a contemporaneous tour (although we'd surely love it!)

In any case this is terrible journalism. The writer has either misunderstood what was said, or she has been handed a massive scoop to which she has failed to make the necessary follow-up questions, and has hidden it away in the middle of article.

Has it been officially rebutted?

Agreed. There's also the possibility that there were follow up questions, but Mike had nothing to add...Perhaps Kittykat is right and this is some "challenge", a last ditch effort for Mike to get the real talent back in The Beach Boys (if this is the case then no doubt information about the project would be scarce or non-existent).

Brian is always talking about recording a rock-n-roll record, right? One with covers and originals? Maybe Mike is trying to woo Brian back by subtly saying "Hey, we're up for recording Pleasure Island...you interested, Brian?"

Not as far as I know but my point is that even if the information is true it has been carelessly conveyed.

[urbanite]

The new album will be recorded and released after the movie, new BW album and new BW tour are over?   Seems strange that men in their 70's will wait 2 years to record and release an album.

Well, I'm not "shooting the messenger." 

ESQ tends to have cred.

ESQ's credibility doesn't come into it. David Beard makes no comment on the story's accuracy, he has simply passed it onto us for what it is worth. Well done to him for spotting the crucial nugget of information that the original writer so carelessly tossed away.

The greatest thing about this thread is that AGD once again proved that he is the Cliff Claven of the board...constantly prattling on with inaccurate info.

M&B can only use the BBs name for touring. This is just Mike talking out of his ass again and saying something really stupid. You are a sick man for wanting SIP part two.

Are you sure?

AGD has the answer http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,19513.msg491447.html#msg491447

No, that isn't the answer.

We know (generally) the parameters of the Touring Band. Andrew has provided that info. That is credible.

The issue is the announcement of a 2017 album.

[Mendota Heights]

The new album will be called Take One Last Sip.
