Ive never seen them before. Is there any more details, such as track listings available anywhere?

Yes!Title: Re: Strange eBay Item Post by: Andrew G. Doe on May 02, 2007, 11:16:35 PM Aren't those the give away CD's from the Sunday Post that Mike Love was suing brian about? Yes!OK, so it's early, I'm down to pull a long shift and I've not slept at all well and am cranky, but I seriously suggest that some folk here go see their optometrists. One CD clearly says "Sunday Times" and the other "The Mail". They're UK Sunday supplement freebies. The one Mike tried to sue over is on the right-hand side. The Smile DVD is quite amusing, but there's nothing unavailable on either of them. Title: Re: Strange eBay Item Post by: SloopJohnB on May 03, 2007, 02:09:52 AM Mike said that "Brian was misusing the Beach Boys image", didn't he? He had a point. I hadn't seen the CD before... But it looks SO cheap. :P Okay, it was free, but... I mean, you'll never find a free CD of the Stones or of the Beatles in your newspaper, especially in a cheap-looking package.
I love the Beach Boys and this hurts me as much as seeing "low price!" tags on their CDs... Of course, on the one hand it's postive because it means that people who don't know the Beach Boys won't be "blocked" by a high price, but on the other hand there are people who think that low-price CDs are cheap because the music is crap. :-\ Title: Re: Strange eBay Item Post by: matt-zeus on May 03, 2007, 04:30:01 AM Maybe Mike is selling them so he can get some money out of them after all :lol
Title: Re: Strange eBay Item Post by: My3kGT on May 04, 2007, 12:45:21 PM I have the SMiLE DVD, it was indeed a freebie from the newspaper to help promote the Smile shows. A friend in the UK kindly sent it to me. It's mostly interviews, BB background information and such, no real music.
