Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Alf64 on September 04, 2009, 04:49:32 AM Give me the link to buy it, and I have money already reserved.
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: mikeyj on September 04, 2009, 04:51:50 AM Surely this can't be right? Al's website still says "release details coming soon". Surely they would have changed that by now if it was coming out in a few days!
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: phirnis on September 04, 2009, 04:52:20 AM After such a long wait, I hope he's going to treat us to at least one more re-recording of one of the Beach Boys' golden greats. ;D
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Nicko1234 on September 04, 2009, 05:08:30 AM In the interview Al did a few weeks ago he said that it would take quite a while to print up the cover art and that he wouldn`t mind even delaying it until next year. I can`t see it being out this soon.
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: The Shift on September 04, 2009, 05:57:21 AM Al d... said that it would take quite a while to print up the cover art... Longer than it takes to record and release the album? Is the cover art being hand-etched by the same monks who produced the Lindisfarne Gospels? Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Nicko1234 on September 04, 2009, 06:22:40 AM Err, no. But the album has already been recorded. The artwork hadn`t been done when he gave the interview. Simple enough for you?
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Sheriff John Stone on September 04, 2009, 06:41:27 AM Is Al subconsciously (or consciously?) trying to manufacture his own SMiLE?
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: The Shift on September 04, 2009, 07:08:30 AM Err, no. But the album has already been recorded. The artwork hadn`t been done when he gave the interview. Simple enough for you? Ouch! Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: SurfRiderHawaii on September 04, 2009, 12:14:38 PM Nothing on Amazon.com (they always list new releases well in advance)
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: mikeyj on September 04, 2009, 04:50:47 PM Err, no. But the album has already been recorded. The artwork hadn`t been done when he gave the interview. Simple enough for you? Isn't that a picture of the cover art on Al's website? And it's been there for ages now - not sure, but pretty much since I can remember the album being announced the cover art has been there. Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: jimmyboy on September 04, 2009, 05:41:56 PM Give me the link to buy it, and I have money already reserved. If its the same material that was posted last year I would save that money for another time. I 've always liked Al but the material I heard was pretty weak. Do we need a blues version of "Help Me Rhonda"? I kind of doubt it.Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Rocky on September 04, 2009, 09:06:40 PM it doesn't technically say Sept 7 of this year ::)

Do we need a blues version of "Help Me Rhonda"? I kind of doubt it.I HATE the blues version of Rhonda BTW. But Al's debut album is historic in any Beach Boys collection. So I will buy it no matter what. Heck, I hate "The Beach Boys Love You" LP, but bought it so my collection would be complete. Title: Re: Als album due Monday?

Yes but read the original post - it's the printing that takes the time, right? In the interview Al did a few weeks ago he said that it would take quite a while to print up the cover art and that he wouldn`t mind even delaying it until next year. I can`t see it being out this soon. Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Rocker on September 05, 2009, 08:51:21 AM Do we need a blues version of "Help Me Rhonda"? I kind of doubt it. Well, it's not a blues version per se. But in fact the song that inspired "Help me Rhonda" was a R'n'B-song.

Post by: STE on September 07, 2009, 05:24:53 AM So, what does everybody think of Al's album? Do you like it? I'm sure you all rushed to the local record store to get a copy on its release day.. :-X Title: Re: Als album due Monday?

Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: The Shift on September 07, 2009, 09:32:13 AM I bought two copies: one to remain sealed in my CD collection, and one for the in-laws.
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Dutchie on September 07, 2009, 10:29:57 AM WOW :o
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: hypehat on September 07, 2009, 11:14:31 AM I've buried one copy for safekeeping, and am currently getting a solid gold cabinet to host my second one.
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: Rocker on September 07, 2009, 11:16:16 AM I wonder why no one got the Audio-DVD. There's alot of bonus on it, including video for the sessions with Brian and Mike
Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: STE on September 07, 2009, 11:20:43 AM The normal cd was sold out at my local record store so I got the deluxe boxset version that includes the complete "Loop de Loop" sessions, a polka version of "Help Me, Rhonda" and a real size Al Jardine action figure. Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: The Shift on September 07, 2009, 11:32:03 AM ... and a real size Al Jardine action figure. Me too! I keep mine in my pocket... Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: the captain on September 07, 2009, 11:52:12 AM I keep mine beside my life-size Liberace cut-out.

Just checked the Australian release date and it's scheduled for the 12th of Never ... but I hear it comes with a bonus single - a 12 minute disco version of Cottonfields with a special guest appearence from Eminem!! GET DOWN SOUL BROTHERS!! Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: wallabie on September 07, 2009, 02:06:14 PM Haha, both the CD and the delux edition were sold out in whole Galway :). And the shop owner didnīt know when the next delivery will arrive ;-)
But, Al promised us that everyone with a ticket from his European tour of 2007 will get a free copy... so, actually I donīt need to buy it. Am sure my free copy is going to arrive tomorrow or at least on Wednesday :) By the way.. I am still confused with some of the songs (or with the samples we heard). There are enough samples of the title-track "Postcards from California" to cut a own "Fan Version" (and it totally matches the Live Version) but I am not sure what Alan is trying to tell us with this song. The lyrics would perfectly fit into Summer In Paradise... But some other songs like "Donīt fight the Sea", "Driving", "Looking down the coast" plus "And I always will" sound promesing, donīt they?

Agree on the versions of Postcard - quite a difference between the Al and the Glen lead vocals. Al's aged better, Glen's got more grit, I'd say. Title: Re: Als album due Monday? Post by: donald on September 09, 2009, 09:04:38 AM What I've heard is OK. Some of it might be nice to put on a comp with later day solo and Beach Boys.
I thought Big Sur Christmas was .....fun. Also would be nice on a comp with Brian's xmas lp and some of the better ultimate xmas stuff. I guess I'm saying what I've heard doesn't equal a fully worthwhile album. After all of this time it ought to be a masterpiece. |
