Title: Smiley Smile 2012 remaster out of print? Post by: Lego_My_Ego on March 13, 2018, 01:37:20 PM Hi everyone, this is my first time posting in this board. I've always liked the Beach Boys' music but lately I've been getting more and more into them after having bought Pet Sounds and the Smile Sessions; I've found that my favorite period of theirs is the late 60s and 70s, as the group increasingly became more democratic and their releases became collections of their own songs peppered with remnants of the Smile project and fantastic Brian originals.
As such I want to buy the "Sunshine Tomorrow" compilation to continue my collection; since that set doesn't include the complete Smiley Smile album (which huge Smile fan as I am I'm certainly interested in owning!) I started to look into what was the best version of the album on CD; general consensus seems to be that the 2012 remaster which included the album's first true stereo mix is the one. Funny thing is, all the other releases in that series are readily available except for seemingly Smiley Smile! Why is this release out of print, does it mean Capitol is preparing another set for it like "Sunshine Tomorrow" meaning that I should wait for that or is it down to the fact that it's a somewhat neglected part of the BB story? |
