New Beach Boys release will make you 'SMiLE'

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Does this mean Warner Bros. will give back the $50,000?

Like the release says, 4 CDs, 2 LPs, 2 45s - I make that eight discs.

Yes, it would be nice to have BBoV as an eight, nine, ten or 12 disc set but I think Capitol would be the wrong label for that.

And Capitol is the right label for what's coming!

[Andrew G. Doe]

Let's be honest, BBOV is really very boring. Reminds me of the SOT "GV" box, one of the more tedious listening experiences of my entire life. Essential research material, but not a fulfilling listen.

[The Shift]

I find though that listening to the session stuff, partic the many-fold take types, as I work helps induce a beneficial trance-like state in which I get more work done.

(At the moment the biggest distraction to my work is this board and this glorious news we've been sharing and analysing for days!)

Edit: it's been nearly ten minutes and no new posts.....  Edward, I'm having an emotionless physical relationship with this Massey Ferguson agricultural vehicle.

Just had a DUH ! moment - Hoffman said he was asked by Capitol to squash the rumours on his board. Funny how Capitol never asked any of the other BB MB mods to do the same.

.... or we're simply ignoring those kind of requests ....

If they really did, that is just absurd

Dang, gone for just two days in order to buy a new car, and look at what happens. I've had worse weekends. 


I can't wait to listen to that boxset! I might buy a couple... And many 2-CD sets, for friends. As I had said earlier, as long as it is a multi-CD set, I'll be happy with what we get. I can't see how I could possibly complain, and I'm not one of the many "tracklisters"* on this board, so even the "album CD" will probably be amazing.

(* "tracklisters" are those who spend years perfecting a Smile tracklist and thinking about whether "Diamond Head" should be included, and where, etc. - no offense to them, actually I can see why they're doing it, but it's just not my kind of thing. I did my Smile mix, I was pleased with it, end of story  )

Just kidding, shady. We never got this request.

I seriously doubt anyone did, including Steve Hoffman.

Yes, but why different media? Guess that some of the stuff on the cd's will turn up on the LP's/45's. They're talking about cd1 containing the "real" Smile - then what will be on the LP´s/45´s? And isn't it so, that most of us have already heard - haaaaven't we... - 90-95% of the material?

This is my understanding of the breakdown, arrived at by actually reading the article in Billboard.
 
- a 2 CD set: CD 1 will comprise, as close as is possible and based of the 2004 template of Brian Wilson presents Smile, a coherent sequence of the most complete music available, mixed to mono. CD2 will contain tracking and vocal session excerpts and studio chatter, in stereo.
 
- a digital download: no details are available as yet.
 
- a deluxe, limited edition box set comprising 4CDs, 2 vinyl LPs, 2 vinyl 45s and a hardbound 60 page book containing a new essay by noted Beach Boys & Smile historian Domenic Priore. Three sides of the vinyl will reprise CD1 of the standard issue: the contents of side 4 are as yet unknown, as are those of the CDs beyond that they will included expanded session excerpts. All known tracks recorded during the Smile era will be represented, and it's reported that previously unheard material has been discovered. The best guess for the 45s is that they're repros of the original "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes And Villains" singles.

Why the different media ?  Marketing, plus it shuts up the vinyl junkies.

Not completely.  It would be nice to have everything that will be on the CDs, also available on vinyl; not simply what's on the one CD.

I wish the vinyl was seperate. Pisses me off that I have to pay for something I CANNOT USE in order to get what I really want.

Seems to me that's "WILL NOT USE"; no one I know is stopping you from purchasing a turntable, so as to give your ears a special treat.

[Myk Luhv]

I hope the 45s -- if they are reproductions of the original "Heroes and Villains" and "Good Vibrations" singles -- have picture sleeves. The H&V picture sleeve was always sort of amusing to me and I'd like to own it (along with the single itself, obviously).

I presume you mean the Brother issue, and not the original Capitol Sleeve with the smile photos?

I also wish the vinyl was separate, but for reasons the other way around. don't need the CDs.

Thanks for the extended breakdown. Dear Andrew, I did read the article but it was a quick read at the job so I missed some parts. Seems we'll just have to wait and see...

Something tells me there are going to be a boatload of broken up sets on eBay in, like, no time!

Good thinking. Let's hope so.

Yeah, this one: right here. (Apparently hotlinking via an image host won't work!)

edit: Oh, right, I didn't include the extension... oops.

What's one of these sleeves with it's 45 worth?
