Q: You guys just held a meeting on Tuesday, April 5. What can you share?

AJ: It’s very encouraging, we’re making plans, and everybody walked away from the meeting very positive and very uplifted by it. Everyone had a good feeling. I’m looking forward to seeing how things evolve after the release of SMiLE…that will be a nice to offer too. We still have to get that done and move forward from there.

And "still have to get that done" means...

(a) Rubber-stamp whatever Boyd and Linett compile?
(b) Overdub new vocals?
(c) Make Dom Priore rewrite his essay?
(d) Make Van Dyke Parks finally explain the meaning of the "uncover the cornfield" lyrics?
(e) ???

I don't think it's any of those other than let those involved put the finishing touches on it, approve it, send it to production and release it

Good bet. I think the same. For a release later this year, it's too late to really work on the actual music (from that long ago) and still make important decisions regarding the contents of the box. IMHO, that is.

Al Jardine: The idea is to release a nice little 7” vinyl on Record Store Day with the A side being “Don’t Fight The Sea” and the B side being “Friends” (A Capella) by The Beach Boys for the Japanese disaster relief. Isn’t that cool?

Yes, cool, but wouldn't they sell more (and get money for Japan faster) if they also released it on iTunes? Or are they doing that and I just missed it? It is the 21st century, after all.

Is this not big news? Brian, Mike, Al, Bruce having a meeting? Sounds great and I would guess mean something is in the works (in addition to SMILE)

Interesting to note.  If Bruce is there, then it's not a BRI meeting.  

Sadly, no David Marks apparently. (corrected from another ADD attack)

Bruce can attend BRI meetings, he just doesn't have a vote.

Still who's to say Brian was there?  Perhaps he sent a substitute

Interview from before said meeting I presume. Implies Brian will be there.
