Andrew, I'm seriously curious about this: do you know all these little facts (like for instance this one, the amount of copies that were sold of 'Spirit of the Forest', etc.) from the top of your head? And how do you archive all that information?

On the subject of "Live In London", has anybody heard of a reissue of sort of the Beach Boys' Live In London, recorded at the London Pallidium and Astoria Flnsbury Park in December, 1968? Supposedly, the set includes a DVD, a CD, and a book. I read somewhere that there's a documentary of the 1968 European Tour; about an hour's worth of video. I read about this somewhere about a year ago.

This is scary, but a seriously frightening amount of this stuff, I just... remember. Stuff like chart positions, catalog numbers and more substantial data, I refer to this excellent site - Bellagio 10452 (http://www.esquarterly.com/bellagio/) - and the rest I just make up.

It should be pointed out that this kind of release just doesn't, shouldn't and mustn't exist. It's like antimatter - the universe will implode if anyone comes across it.

So what you're saying then, Wee Helper, is that this release is pretty damn good!  ;D

Thanks, Christian!
