£81.99 Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: The Shift on January 29, 2014, 03:25:48 PM You missed it… now up to £116+…!
Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: Matt Bielewicz on January 30, 2014, 04:05:29 AM I still see it at £81.99! Or maybe... it's gone BACK to that price??
Just to confirm, John - this IS the original SMiLE box, isn't it? This isn't a re-release with extra stuff I've missed, is it? I have pretty much had a break from the world of the Beach Boys after seriously obsessing about the launch of MiC for most of last year. Just temporarily burnt out, I guess. I'm sure I will be back...! Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: The Shift on January 30, 2014, 05:18:29 AM I still see it at £81.99!

So have you bought a back up copy John? I'm always tempted as the sleeve to my vinyl is getting a little scuffed now and the box has a few marks too, but it seems awfully decadent .... :) Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: The Shift on January 30, 2014, 01:19:37 PM I still see it at £81.99!

It'll sit boxed until V1 is worn out. Hadn't read the book yet as scared my wee brats will get jam on it if I leave it lying around! Decadent…? Well, it's the finest music ever made in my book, and I had some good news recently so… ;D Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: The Shift on January 30, 2014, 01:29:19 PM Another thing… the price might come down again. Sainsburys is due to stop selling physical product soon to focus on downloads* so might want to clear stocks out.
* I don't think this will apply to groceries…! Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: buddhahat on January 30, 2014, 01:32:26 PM I still see it at £81.99!

Enjoy the book (finally). Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: buddhahat on January 30, 2014, 01:33:35 PM Another thing… the price might come down again.

Will keep my eye on it! Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: mikeddonn on January 31, 2014, 02:33:33 PM It's gone!
Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: The Shift on January 31, 2014, 04:06:32 PM Very odd - a search for Beach Boys CDs indicates 11 results but displays only 9… how does that work then?!?!
Title: Re: Smile Sessions deluxe – cheapest I've seen in the UK Post by: bluesno1fann on January 31, 2014, 04:07:58 PM I guess if I was living in the UK, I'd grab the box set immediately!
Too bad I don't, and it's still very expensive here!

Once you convert quid to Oz, the Brit price is only about $20 less than this - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/The-Beach-Boys-Smile-Super-Deluxe-Box-Set-/331114875720?pt=AU_Audio_CDs&hash=item4d17fc0b48 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/The-Beach-Boys-Smile-Super-Deluxe-Box-Set-/331114875720?pt=AU_Audio_CDs&hash=item4d17fc0b48) |
