Title: ?A 40 years anniversary CapitolBoxset of Beach Boys' SMiLE scheduled 007? Post by: rasmus skotte on March 16, 2006, 04:01:36 AM A wishful deadline like that would require the preparations to be set in motion from now on? Failing to meet a release date in 2007 would just match the 1½ year delay of the Pet Sounds boxset. But the question is: will it be more or less likely to happen as the years go by?

Post by: buddhahat on March 16, 2006, 09:13:03 AM I thought David Leaf said that it was likely (with Brian present), then somebody posted recently saying that Brian was dead against the sessions coming out. Does anyone know where this info came from?

Brian says: "...over my dead body" Therefore: David Leaf is going to have Brian offed and then the sessions will come out. :angel: Title: Re: ?A 40 years anniversary CapitolBoxset of Beach Boys' SMiLE scheduled 007? Post by: PMcC on March 16, 2006, 09:25:02 AM I think there is a much better chance of a 50th anniversary box set than a 40th...I just have this feeling it ain't coming thru next year. In my gut, I really feel that more time would have to pass, or people would actually have to die in order for this to happen, and since I don't want any of the principles leaving this earth anytime soon, I am content with my Vigotones, and let those other things work out the way they will

Presumably the other Beach Boys but why would they have a problem - surely they don't have such personal reasons as Brian and would welcome a release financially?

Post by: PMcC on March 16, 2006, 10:25:05 AM I'm thinkin' Brian's camp...maybe Melinda...even Van Dyke to an extent, but I have no way of knowing. It's just a feeling that I have...Brian's thoughts on this one carries A LOT of weight, and I don't see a box set anytime soon, but I think it will be in our lifetime...

Post by: buddhahat on March 16, 2006, 12:27:11 PM I can imagine Melinda being against it in defense of Brian, but I would've thought that if David Leaf was speaking openly about it that generally the Brian camp, including Melinda, was also behind the idea, otherwise surely he would have kept quiet about it? Who knows though - Maybe Brian has subsequently decided he definitely is not up for a sessions release and that's that. I would have thought that having confronted the material so bravely with BWPS that he wouldn't have batted an eyelid at releasing the original sessions but I guess it's much more complex than that.
I've been quietly thinking that 2007 is the year that the sessions will be released but I think I'm being naiively optimistic there. What about this Good Vibrations sessions disc/box though? I can't remember where the link was but it implied an August release. Has anyone found out any more info about this? |
