The Smiley Smile Message Board

Apparently, as with last years "Pet Sounds" reissue, Best Buy will once again be offering an exclusive download with their copies of the "Warmth of the Sun" CD. However, this time it will be a previously unreleased track. Could it be a "Smile" outtake? A Dennis track like "Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again"? Um, no. It will be............a live version of "409" from Chicago, 1965.

I'm not sure what to think about this. On the one hand, I don't like doing the download thing, not even for a freebie like this (I've actually never accessed one of these types of download deals before, but I've read accounts of some people having trouble getting the thing to work), and I don't like the idea of online exclusives or retailer exclusives, so I'm glad that they didn't release anything terribly substantial as a download-only, exclusive to one retailer. On the other hand, this is about the least substantial unreleased track they possibly could have come up with.

Anyway, you can order it (or, right now, pre-order it) from the Best Buy website, which is also offering free shipping for the CD. Here is a link from the Best Buy website with info about their "exclusive":

I'll wait for someone to burn me a CDR of all the 'exclusive' downloads.  ::)

but that's illegal, my friend. :police:

At least they've chosen a track that isn't available on boots yet. I like the Chicago songs (with Brian) and can't wait to hear this.

.. I'm with AGD.

I can't really get excited about that exclusive download. If it had been a Denny unreleased track or .. heck! .. something studio-based at the very least .. I might've done the do with Best Buy.

I'll just buy the regular edition when Woolworths get it for £6.99.

Best Buy, which is right by my house, is where I usually buy the popular releases on the day they come out, anyway.  So this will be a nice little bonus...the price is not bad, either.
