Title: Non official releases on CDs - Need your help! Post by: beachboys_fr on November 21, 2013, 02:51:01 AM As you may know if you already met me on the forum, I’m the ultimate Beach Boys on CDs collector. Now, it is more and more difficult for me to find new stuff to purchase but also new stuff to look for. Collecting CDs is not an easy task since you don’t know what actually exists. Here is below a short list of bootleg CDs which I’m not sure that they actually exist on CD. Your help would be very much appreciated. Here is the list:
Help Me, Rhonda (Black Park BP141) Smile (Recompiled Definitive Version) (Wilson Records BB001) Live At Central Park, Sept. 1977 California Feeling (Brother 1976) The Cocaine Sessions (01125 TV) Live At Big Sur (Murry 1001) Smile - Part 1 (GEMA A12556) Smile (Red Robin Records, 1993) London Wednesday Jan 30th 2002 (Spark in the Dark) (2CDs) All Summer Long in Tennessee (2CDs) Best Title: Re: Non official releases on CDs - Need your help! Post by: Sangheon on November 21, 2013, 03:12:33 AM Live At Big Sur (Murry 1001) This CD doesn't exist. Title: Re: Non official releases on CDs - Need your help! Post by: The Shift on November 21, 2013, 03:18:41 AM This is a very awkward question answer on this board as we traditionally have a tradition of denying the existence of a CD whether it exists or not. So just be wise someone says there is no such CD doesn't mean here is no such CD, they might be saying that because there is indeed such a CD but they don wan to admit to owning it. On the other hand, they might be saying there is no such things as such and such a CD because there is no such thing as such and such a CD.
A far better way to ask might be to say "I've heard there is no such thing as such and such a CD - how do you rate it?" Ooh, we've opened a reet can o'worms here tha knows!

And really, it's a sad state of affairs when folks are scared to admit such and such exists. The BBs know they're out there. Whether or not they appreciate them, it's a fact of life that they exist; and publicly discussing them won't change that fact. Offering them for sale/trade or anything else here is WRONG, but I really don't see any harm in their discussion. Myself, I stopped buying boot cds after I got most of the SOTs. None of this list are familiar to me, so I can't confirm/deny any of them; but if I knew, I'd have no problem posting it here Title: Re: Non official releases on CDs - Need your help!

Some titles might float around as CDrs but I'm guessing most will have begun life as Mp3 collections or torrents… If they exist, of course, and no-ones saying whether they might. Or might not. ;) Title: Re: Non official releases on CDs - Need your help! Post by: mikeddonn on November 21, 2013, 10:52:23 AM The band's management also didn't have a problem with it when they were encouraging people to post to facebook talking about the SMiLE boots back when the box came out!
Title: Re: Non official releases on CDs - Need your help! Post by: rattfink on November 21, 2013, 12:03:18 PM I asked a similar question on another thread about some SMiLE-related mp3's that I thought I used to have and I guess either never existed or no one on this board is familiar with. See: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,16727.0.html No replies :hat

Title: Re: Non official releases on CDs - Need your help! Post by: Captain Cook Fashion on November 21, 2013, 03:14:32 PM Smile (Red Robin Records, 1993) certainly exists as a silver-pressed CD, with the catalogue number RRR1.

Post by: Mr. Wilson on November 21, 2013, 03:54:32 PM When the Brian Wilson site 1st came on line I asked a question about SMILE boots...Wondering weather BW had any participation in leaking the smile stuff..Like being apart of it because of his resentment for BB not liking it..WELL.. We all know better now but 14 yrs ago it wasn't common knowledge.. Well I asked the question and got jumped on by Melinda about that and I was sure the bootleg police were comin to my door.. LOL..!

True story.. Melinda was pretty active on the boards back then. And often unkind to anyone posting anything hinting toward something negative about Brian in any way, shape, or form. |
