not bad

[pixletwin]

Cool news. Can't wait to see artwork and a tracklist. 

[Summertime Blooz]

Figures the box set is timed for the Christmas season.

[Banana]

I can see it priced out right around $99.99 in the US.  I know Amazon runs deals on day of release now-and-then...so maybe it will be cheaper.  That's not a bad price for six discs as long as there is a good selection of stuff we haven't heard before (or at least heard legit).  If the bulk is just singles and album cuts I might waffle...but I'll probably give in.  Heck, I never know what to ask for when it comes to Christmas...maybe I'll have something to ask for this year!

Is there any info on will this be an independent box set (you know, with all the hits included) or a sequel to GV box (with no overlapping material)? If this replaces GV box, will GV box go out of print? Should I finally give in buy GV, just in case all the rarities aren't included on this new one?

Gosh darn, so many expensive things to buy. Oh the plight of the Westerner.

The GV box set is already out of print.  I'm pretty sure you can only buy it digitally nowadays.  That being said though, it will probably still be there (iTunes, Amazon MP3).  But I got my copy earlier this year in good condition for only 25 bucks.

Now we're talking.  This will be where the action is.

Do not buy box sets on iTunes. Do not download cars unless you can do so illegally. But do not buy box sets from iTunes. Just do not do it. It is the evil power.

[Jukka]

No fear, I wouldn't dream of buying anything legally. It's gotta be physical format for me, cos I'm a physical guy.

I sure hope they don't pass Summer in Paradise when compiling the new box. Summer of Love would make a grand opening.

HAY NOW (well it's a love thing)

oh god that'd be amazing

When the box set tracklist comes out, I'm going to start torrenting dozens and dozens of copies of "Summer Of Love" relabelled as the tracks from the box set. Capitol will thank me, as they'll be putting out fake torrents, anyway.

"Oh my God, after all these years, 'Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again!'"

*goes to track 13*

*DUHduhduhduhduhduhDUHduhduhduhduhduh "I CANT WAIT TEEIL EEITS SUMMER CUZ ITS GUNNA BE A SUMMA OF LUV. HAAAY NOW (WELL ITS A LUHHHV THIIING)"*

"GGGAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

I just made a test playlist, and my gosh it works! The box opens with SOL, and after that we'll get the Surfin' rehearsals and Surfin'. Start with a bang, kind of like theme song playing over the opening credits, and then rewind all the way to the beginning. Try it. Makes the perfect opening for the box.

… which raises the prospect of iTunes-only bonus tracks, Best Buy special editions, and merchdirect exclusives. God in hope not… it'd be wonderful to have everything in one place, in one edition, without having to grumble about the fact that five individual tracks are exclusive to five different retailers, or having to covet the free embossed surfboard that comes with the special $1m edition. I hope it can be simply about the music for those who love the music.















Somehow I doubt it though…

If only the people compiling the box were so forward-thinking. But no. It'll be some sappy garbage like "Surfer Girl" or something. They may as well just call this flaming pile of sh*t "brian wilson large emotional man animal collective prototype pet sounds created sgt. peppers" or some sh*t.

CDs are usually cheaper in the US than they are in Europe, so I bet it'll be less than that.

Maybe the 6th disc is the remastered Summer In Paradise 

[Jukka]

Maybe the 6th disc is the remastered Summer In Paradise 

I'd be genuinely happy about that. Both versions!

[The Shift]

Maybe the 6th disc is the remastered Summer In Paradise 

Maybe it could be the original SiP remastered, the original remix remastered, and both originals remixed and remastered. 

[Dove Nested Towers]

And then we'd FINALLY have world peace!

No, we need that as a 4LP box set!

On 180g vinyl, of course.

I would seriously not complain if they ignored anything post-LA Light. After that all the production lost any warm feeling to it. I guess I would survive an acapella Goin' On or Where I Belong, but apart from that anything after 1979 can be buried with my consent!
