Title: Should I purchase... Post by: The Heartical Don on January 05, 2009, 02:46:03 AM ...last year's 'U.S. Singles CD Collection' box? It's on offer but is it worth it, I mean: the 'new' mixes and suchlike?"
Tks, THD. Title: Re: Should I purchase... Post by: Dutchie on January 05, 2009, 03:28:52 AM i say go for it. The mixes are great. Only problem for me is the $120. If they reduce it to $60 i would have bought it. I got the mixes only from a fan who bought it.

Thank you - there are a couple of offers here which have it at the equivalent of around € 60 (new and sealed). Title: Re: Should I purchase...

People who often visit BW/BBs related messageboards and know how to identify 'There's So Many' played backwards at pop quizzes. Title: Re: Should I purchase...

Exactly how many (so many) new mixes are on the singles box? The new stereo mixes of PLMW, LHRW and Wendy on the "Warmth of the Sun" anthology were SO great! I heard that one on the singles box is She Knows Me Too Well, which alone would be worth a (reduced) price. Title: Re: Should I purchase...

Sounds like a Biblical quotation... perhaps it means: thou shalt not consult other spirits than thy one and only God all-mighty (so: a warning against Landy...). Title: Re: Should I purchase... Post by: Dutchie on January 06, 2009, 03:24:46 AM almost all the songs are stereo & mono. There is a live "unreleased" version of 409 from i believe 1965. The Do you wanna dance track is just great. Starting with only instument, at the half the vocals come in and it ends with vocals only :o

Thank you - there are a couple of offers here which have it at the equivalent of around € 60 (new and sealed). I'd be interested to know who's offering it at that price... (certainly not AmazonUK!) Title: Re: Should I purchase... Post by: Competition Clutch on January 06, 2009, 08:13:28 PM Can someone recommend which tracks off iTunes are especially recommended. The information on 409 and Do YOu Wanna Dance above was helpful.

When it came out last June, you could buy it from Amazon France for €45 (shipping to France included). I got mine at that price - I would never have paid more for it. Honestly, it's not really worth €60. Just download the exclusive tracks from iTunes... Or ask someone who has the set if he would be willing to discuss the tracks with you. ::) Title: Re: Should I purchase... Post by: The Shift on January 07, 2009, 05:10:31 AM Hmmm... now on Amazon France at €97. Don't they know there's un recession going on!

On a Dutch 2nd hand site (owned by Ebay) a few retailers offer it at around € 35,00. New and sealed. Go to: www.marktplaats.nl (http://www.marktplaats.nl) and type in: 'beach boys box' and you're there. Should you be interested and require a translation, PM me. Title: Re: Should I purchase...

Looking at the pictures, the latest offer is not a sealed copy although the seller says it is. Still, €35 is a bargain (if you don't have to recalculate in $$). I'm still hoping that there will be a follow-up to this release (66-69), but I'm affraid chances are not that high... |
