Title: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: beachboys_fr on February 14, 2014, 03:44:33 AM This morning, the postman brought me the 2,000th Beach Boys CD of my collection. I want to take this special occasion to thank all the people on this forum that helped me to enlarge this collection by a mean or another.
If you have any question about Beach Boys CDs, just don’t hesitate. I would be pleased to answer (in the limit of my competence). Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: rogerlancelot on February 14, 2014, 04:48:41 AM Is it possible to hear a 30 second snippet of each cd?

I have now MIC in hands. After having carefully heard WIBNTLA, here is what I’m able to say when comparing this version to "mine". Both are the SAME version (structure, instruments, etc.). The sound is however quite different. In "my version", some instruments are less emphasized (for example, the guitar between 2.34 and 2.58 or the flute around 4.07) and some vocals are more emphasized (for example, the backing vocals between 2.34 and 2.58 and the lead vocal after 3.38). I think "my version" is a rough (mono) mix. Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: bgas on February 15, 2014, 05:46:50 AM What is different on your WIBNTLA( from the MIC), and can you please play/post it here? I already answered on the topic devoted to this track. So when are you going to post it so we can hear the differences? Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: Niko on February 15, 2014, 05:56:54 AM I asked him for it via pm (after MiC came out) and it seemed like that wasn't something that was going to happen :(

Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: The Shift on February 15, 2014, 07:16:05 AM How many CD's in his collection came from fans wanting a snippet I wonder... Not many, I'm guessing… though I'm also guessing few will 'fess up! Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: G.C on February 15, 2014, 09:17:59 AM That's a lot of CDs.
Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: STE on February 15, 2014, 10:15:53 AM I'd love to see a photo of them! How many in % would you say actually have unique music/versions on them as opposed as reissues/editions/etc? Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds!

Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: CAFeelin89 on February 15, 2014, 11:18:44 PM I would love to read a list of what you have. That's a heck of a lot of CD's for one band. Like, woah, when you think about it. I second a pic, as well! I'd love to see this. Nothing like a juicy collection.

I will try to post a picture soon. Regarding your question, it is impossible to give an accurate answer without heavy computations... I would say about 50 (without bootlegs). So, 2.5% Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: beachboys_fr on February 17, 2014, 06:37:11 AM Where do you put them all? :o In 3 bookcases. Total 3 meters long / 2 meters high.

Post by: The Shift on February 17, 2014, 06:53:16 AM Assume this includes multiple versions of the same release?

Post by: The Shift on February 18, 2014, 01:01:39 AM By "A-B" I mean have you compared the music on each, to check for any differences? Is the USA edition of TWGMTR's copy of Summer's Gone exactly the same as the Taiwanese version's Summer's Gone, for example?

Is the USA edition of TWGMTR's copy of Summer's Gone exactly the same as the Taiwanese version's Summer's Gone, for example? Ah, no I don't. My ears are not accurate enough to ear these (possible) differences... Remember how it was difficult for me to describe WIBNTLA... Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds!

Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: The Shift on February 18, 2014, 09:33:41 AM What about BBs-related stuff – solo CDs, Wilson Phillips, solo and group appearances on other artists' albums (such as Richard Ashcroft, Elton John, Jeff Foxworthy…) - do they figure in the 2000CDs?

Tell you what John , that's a good and rather sobering thought - I don't want to count them all , but my BB's/Related CD collection must be close to 1,000 ( Christ I must have around 15 + different CD's of the Christmas Album from all over the planet , don't know why I have them but that's what I/we DO ::) ) Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds!

I previously asked mr french and he only collects BBs CDs; not solo stuff, not various artist, nothing but BBs. 240 copies of Pet Sounds , in every variation, from every country? That's probably there.... Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds! Post by: The Shift on February 18, 2014, 11:20:34 PM More than 10 % of the collection is Pet Sounds…? Blimey!

The real figure is 62. Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds!

No solos, no various artists compilations, no tributes, no CDRs. “The Beach Boys” must be stated on the front cover of the CD as the unique artist. For example, “Salute to Nascar” or the Japanese compilation “I can hear music” (which includes lead vocals by Carl only) are not part of the collection. Same for the numerous Beach Boys with Jan & Dean CDs. All of this is debatable but I think that delimitated a perimeter is a crucial step for building a collection.

The point of collecting is having the cool stuff you collect. Playing just tends to ruin the value, especially if you have to open a sealed copy to do that! Title: Re: 2,000 different Beach Boys Cds!

I just don't know if having the Taiwanese version of Still Cruisin' would really fulfill me in any way. I personally do like collecting to an extent. I like having different mixes and versions and whatnot. But of course, it's actually the music in that case. Not just the packaging.

I have sealed stuff I don't play. I know what the music sounds like and I love the fact that it's like picking the stuff up in a record shop. I often just go in take out my lps, look at them and put them back. An expensive luxury I guess but at least I don't blow my money on other stuff that doesn't hold value or is gone the next morning and all I'd have is a sore head :-D
