This, along with MIU/LA (which for some reason is OOP though I bought a legal d/l), Hawthorne, the Christmas album and S&S (which I have 0 interest in despite being available everywhere) is the only Beach Boys album I'm missing. Now that the shame of it potentially being the last original BB album has vanished, I'd really like to own this album. Anywhere I've found it, it's been selling used for ungodly prices that I'd rather not gut my wallet for. Is there any place on the net that I can find a decently priced used copy? Or at the very least a legal download? It's a bit hard to sleep at night knowing there's a Beach Boys studio album that isn't at least on my iTunes. Peas and carrots.

At least for the Christmas album, you should still be able to buy that one at any major music store, you'll probably have to go to an indy store though because none of the big box places still stock anything other than greatest hits, or new releases. Last Chrstmas my local indy store had the Beach Boys christmas CD everywhere.

Yeah that one ain't hard to find. I opted to just buy the Ultimate Christmas collection on Amazon MP3. |

I saw SIP at my local Disc-Go-Round for about $30 and laughed my ass off. "Well Amazon has it listed for more than that, so I can't lower the price at all," says the guy behind the counter. If he ever listened to it, I'm sure the price would drop. Funny thing is that since that day, it's been sold. I can't believe someone paid that much for so little.

6 years ago I got "lucky" with getting a used copy around 35 Euro, that's the most I paid for any single CD and it wasn't even the US version, which is superiour. Well at least the title track. And I am not sure about that but I think the US citizens even got a great artwork poster.

I bought a brand new SIP in Malakka, Malaysia for something like €7 in november 2006. Had to drag it across the globe for 7 months before getting home.

Since it's out of print, and the only way you're going to find it is used (IE, no money to the beach boys, record companies, etc) you might as well try and find a download of it. Unless you want to pay $35 or more for it.

It pops up on eBay every now and then for a decent price (under £20) every now and then. I snagged it for £12 about a year and a half ago. I enjoy the album, so I don't feel like I got a bad deal.

Only time I ever saw a physical copy of SIP was last year - an FYE store in Pittsburgh had it for $14.
I didn't buy it though; I wasn't working yet, and my scanty money was NOT going to that sh*t.

Was it the LP? |

Keep checking ebay for SIP. I bought a copy at auction (not buy it now pricing) on ebay about 5 months ago for $27. Not too bad a price considering what the greedy sellers on Amazon want for it. I got a copy of Hawthorne on ebay a few months ago as well for about $15. If you keep watching and are patient, you'll find copies at decent prices.

It's really inessential. Only for the most hardcore fans.

It should be reissued. It's part of the band's oeuvre, whether the fans want to admit it or not.

You mean these?   I paid a combined £18 for the two (at separate times). Just look and they will appear! (Still need the LP though!) |

Maybe from a fan's or completest perspective but if I'm The Beach Boys I'm not going near that record with a barge pole anytime soon. There is a lot of positive buzz surrounding the band with the C50 and keeping what is arguably the nadir of their released catalog off the shelves is probably a good move. |
