Title: Brian Wilson '88 Pressbook and CD
Post by: onkster on November 09, 2016, 01:46:35 PM
Not sure where I should post this--read the rules, and saw nothing on it. If this needs moving, I'm fine with it.

I have a BW88 pressbook, complete with the color transparency, along the CD "BW: Words and Music", both in great condition.

Would anybody here be up for buying this, or perhaps trading for something, if we can reach an agreement?

Christmas is coming soon, so...think about it!

PM me with offers, questions, requests.

Isn't all the interview material from the CD on the 2000 expanded edition of the album?

That, I don't know; I don't think I have that version. If that's the case, I guess the "sellling point" would be to have it in its original 1988 form.

I don't think so as far as I can remember. It has been a zillion years since I listened to that "Words and Music" CD from 1988, but I recall him going into more tracks. I recall for instance a discussion of Jeff Lynne that isn't on the 2000 CD.

How about uploading it to YouTube?  I would love to hear it.

The entire CD is 28 minutes so it's definitely not all on the reissue which has about four or five minutes of it.

I have Words and Music somewhere on a cassette dub. As I recall it is an entirely different recording than the tracks on the reissue.

I think these recordings need to be preserved first and foremost.

I have a recording of it on cassette. It's a good interview. I don't know how they got more than a few words from Brian, but he has a lot of interesting comments about the songs.

Although much of the 28 minutes is tracks from the album, isn't it?

I have a foggy memory of seeing some of the interview content on the 2000 CD in video form. Like, I remember that specific version of the first half of "Love and Mercy" with Brian at the piano, but in a low-res video. Was that the original form of the '88 press kit?

So, back to my first post...is anybody interested in obtaining these via purchase or trade?

It is exactly those things, though those are not my eBay postings--I figured I'd offer here first, then do eBay if nobody's interested.

I just want them to go to a good home!
