what is this? Never heard of it. It's rumored to feature on blegs of a SMiLE show in Germany (Frankfurt 2004).

Is this supposed to be a song played at said show? I was there at the Frankfurt Smile concert and I didn't take notice of any song (safe for the Smile set) I hadn't heard before.

I've got that boot.  Really nice packaging.  The track entitled "Julia" is actually "Sail On Sailor".  Brian dedicates it to Probyn Gregory's friend Julia, hence the title.  :)  Score one for the bootleggers!

"Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you Julia"....before c-man said it was actually "Sail On, Sailor", I thought maybe Brian covered the Beatles' song.

Thanks! Is that the boot with Brian as some sort of Teletubby, surfing valiantly nevertheless, as the cover?

It has a caricature of Brian surfing.
Beautiful digipack package, btw.

Other songs included are: Come to Hawaii, Little Girl, Get Around.

Tks. In the meantime I got an option to purchase it. Should I?

I wouldn't spend more than $50 on it.  But that's me.  Soundwise, the live tracks are pretty good but definitely not great.  There are some kinda cool artificially-done stereo mixes of a few authentic '60s SMiLE tracks on there, in excellent quality.  That and the packaging are the main draws.  The caricature of Brian is great.

I bought it, as new. Cost me $ 10 (not kidding).
