What the hell is the point of this, I'll never understand some of the moves in the BB camp, it serves no purpose everyone knows these songs already. Thoughts? Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Jason on July 19, 2009, 05:14:12 PM No "propose" indeed.
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Matt H on July 19, 2009, 05:36:38 PM Why would "Make It Big" be on there?
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: The infamous Baldwin Organ on July 19, 2009, 05:41:35 PM It is odd that "make it big" is on there. Could that be an accident? ...more like "kokomo"!
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Shady on July 19, 2009, 07:18:06 PM No "propose" indeed. Damn spell check It is odd that "make it big" is on there. Could that be an accident? ...more like "kokomo"! Nope it's actually Make it big, which makes the whole thing all more bizzare Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Smilin Ed H on July 20, 2009, 01:41:12 AM Wonder if anyone's going to court over this one...
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: The Heartical Don on July 20, 2009, 04:51:36 AM A collector's dream, if you ask me.
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Smilin Ed H on July 20, 2009, 06:42:38 AM What's worse, giving this away with a lousy newspaper (and it is lousy) or asking us to pay full whack for a handful of 'rare' mixes and more of the usual?
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: shelter on July 20, 2009, 07:33:42 AM This is such an insult to the Beach Boys' music. They're giving it away for free with a friggin' newspaper? Can you imagine them doing this with the Beatles' music? What's next, a set of shiny beermats that can also be used as CDs, Beach Boys music included? I'm also not too fond of the idea of thousands of Beach Boys CDs ending up in people's trashcans... And what would Brian have thought if someone had told him 43 years ago that in the future 'Good Vibrations' would have devalued so much that they'd give it away for free as a bait to sell a stupid newspaper?
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: The Heartical Don on July 20, 2009, 07:35:03 AM What's worse, giving this away with a lousy newspaper (and it is lousy) or asking us to pay full whack for a handful of 'rare' mixes and more of the usual? Look at the bright side. An underpriviliged kid, drunken soccer hooligan of a dad, mom's always 'away' for 'business', and then one day dad opens this rag in a drunken sweep and tosses the disk to the kid, 'for you, luv', I already have a shaving mirror...''; and the child smells that familiar alcoholic fume laced with bad cigarette smoke, runs up the stairs, depressed, and still manages to load its CD player (Chinese, of course, works only half of the time), and there are.... the Beach Boys. A life saving experience. Really. Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Smilin Ed H on July 20, 2009, 07:43:33 AM Well, if you want to put it that way, you can't argue. Someone might be turned on to great music by it.
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Eric Aniversario on July 20, 2009, 10:10:11 AM There are some interesting selections here...I Know There's An Answer, Wild Honey, and Make It Big. I wonder if Make It Big will be remastered? I really wish they would remaster and re-release the Still Cruisin CD. The sound could definitely be better.
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Eric Aniversario on July 20, 2009, 10:10:59 AM Does it concern anyone else that the CD is called "Sound Of Summer"? "Sounds" like trouble to me!
Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: Sheriff John Stone on July 20, 2009, 10:13:24 AM I really wish they would remaster and re-release the Still Cruisin CD. Yeah, and pair it with Summer In Paradise (as a 2fer), add a couple of bonus tracks, and it would be a decent repackage.

I'd rather have Still Cruisin' with all their non-album eighties singles as bonus tracks.

Yeah, and pair it with Summer In Paradise (as a 2fer), add a couple of bonus tracks, and it would be a decent repackage. I'd rather have Still Cruisin' with all their non-album eighties singles as bonus tracks. There's enough room for the two albums AND those bonus tracks you are referring to. Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: shelter on July 20, 2009, 12:43:29 PM There's enough room for the two albums AND those bonus tracks you are referring to. Still Cruisin' is 33:44, Summer In Paradise is 44:10. That's almost 78 minutes in total, and with a maximum playing time of 80 minutes for a CD you wouldn't even have room for one extra song. And there are almost enough "bonus tracks" to fill a second disc: California Dreamin' (2 versions), Chasin' The Sky, Crocodile Rock, East Meets West, Rock 'N' Roll To The Rescue (original version + remixes), Lady Liberty, Happy Endings, Don't Worry Baby w/ The Everly Brothers, Problem Child, Runaway, the tracks from the 4th Of July live comp, Kokomo in Spanish...

Wow, I didn't realize Summer In Paradise was that long. Well, so much for that theory, unless you cut the "oldies", "I Get Around", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", and "California Girls". That would free up 7:00 plus the extra 2:00....That would only give you enough for 2-3 bonus tracks. Just a thought.... Title: Re: Another FREE BB Comp Post by: SloopJohnB on July 20, 2009, 02:09:13 PM Well, so much for that theory, unless you cut the "oldies", "I Get Around", "Wouldn't It Be Nice", and "California Girls". But then it wouldn't be the same Still Cruisin' album we all know and love... ;D (by the way I actually like Still Cruisin', and I think it deserves a decent reissue. A SC/SIP two-fer would probably be the best way to do it as it would fit nicely among the other reissues) |
