Title: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Jonas on February 08, 2006, 06:18:47 AM I did a search on here and on Wikipedia but I cant find info about it. I'm curious if anyone can shed light on the 'Sea of Tunes' compilation. I've seen it on bootleggers collections but I've never heard a copy of it on my own. I understand its like 30 or so volumes of all the Beach Boys material. Who exactly put this compilation together? How was it released to the public etc? And most importantly, how big is each volume and what do they usually contain?
If these questions have been answered before, please point me to the right direction and I'll be grateful! thanks :) Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Evenreven on February 08, 2006, 06:26:04 AM http://bootlegzone.com/files.php?section=14&sort=1

You guys rock!
Quick question: What is the difference between Dumb Angel and the Sea of Tunes stuff? Geez, there's so much material! Now the next step is acquiring them...:p thanks again! Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 08, 2006, 07:10:56 AM Thanks for the links and info, guys! You guys rock! Yes, I think I probably do. In a sedate, English way, of course. Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Evenreven on February 08, 2006, 07:15:06 AM Quick question: What is the difference between Dumb Angel and the Sea of Tunes stuff? The Dumb Angel releases say that it's an "imprint" or something of Sea Of Tunes. It covers mostly 70s and later material, though some others. The Sea Of Tunes releases are titled "Unsurpassed Masters" vol. 1-20 and contains nothing past 1969. Some of the releases are almost ridiculously detailed. 8 cds on Today, anyone?Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Jonas on February 08, 2006, 08:34:01 AM Ok so, everything that is on SoT won't be found on anything on Dumb Angel? Basically theyre two complete different sets with no...repeating?
thanks! :) Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Evenreven on February 08, 2006, 08:55:56 AM I'm not totally certain, but virtually none. SOT/UM covers the 60s, DA covers the 70s and beyond. Hardly any repeating from what I can tell.
Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Jonas on February 08, 2006, 08:58:47 AM Sweet! Thank you for answering my questions...I love you guys! :)
Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Evenreven on February 08, 2006, 09:05:11 AM Then after getting some thirty-five cd sets, you still need to get most of the concert bootlegs, Paley/Was sessions, loose files from here and there, Vigotone SMiLE, Leggo My Ego, Get The Boot, Goodbye Surfing Hello God and possibly many others. ;D
Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 08, 2006, 09:14:36 AM The cassettes. You forgot the cassettes.
There's stuff I've heard on cassette I've never heard anywhere else.

Excellent sound quality and some cool unused sections. Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Evenreven on February 08, 2006, 09:21:54 AM Cassettes! Dang. I've some catching up to do. What about vinyl? Is every piece of music from vinyl boots on cd as well?
And thanks for mentioning Heroes and Vibrations, totally forgot that one. Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Jonas on February 08, 2006, 09:24:31 AM (http://www.skanksuary.com/board/images/smiles/thud.gif)
Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on February 08, 2006, 03:19:01 PM I had a dream once that I found "Unsurpassed Masters Vols 22 and 23" at a record store. The alternate Sunflower and Surf's Up albums. That one was a real drag to wake up from. Oddly enough, there was a vocals only mix of "Friends" on there, so maybe I found a more complete alternate Friends album in my dream as well.

Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Jason Penick on February 08, 2006, 08:38:43 PM You think that's crazy, I had a dream that I heard an unreleased Beatles acetate ca. 1964 and I woke up singing the damn thing! It was a great song too!
In a normal situation, I would have grabbed my cassette recorder and laid it down in demo form with my acoustic guitar. Regretably, I'd left my recorder at my guitarist's pad the night before at band practice. By the time I made it into work, the song was gone from my head. >:( :-[ Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: I. Spaceman on February 08, 2006, 08:40:21 PM Awesome!
I once had a dream that I found a mint copy of the Swan pic sleeve of She Loves You at a yardsale! Then a month later I found a slightly used copy for 10 bucks at a thriftstore! Title: Re: Question about 'Sea of Tunes' Post by: Jason Penick on February 08, 2006, 08:47:06 PM we have all truly crossed the final threshold into rock nerd status.

Your dream would be more interesting if Winston Wong were the clerk at the record store. |
