Wow just heard about these collections being released. Really interesting stuff, being a huge BBs fan, its nice to hear new versions of these songs and bonus tracks! Some of this stuff makes me wonder a lot - Whats with "The Gong"? "When A Man Needs A Woman" had extra Brian vocals in the 2nd verse. The original "Transcendental Meditation" sounds a lot better. A more sophisticated produced version of "Be Here In The Morning"? Why all these were omitted or edited out is anyones guess..

Still a ton more stuff I have to get through but I didn't see a thread about these yet..

It might be a bit hard to find as the thread title doesn't specify the name of the release, but "1968 Copyright Extension Release Thread" works as the place for discuss these releases:

I really appreciate the fact there are a lot of active places to discuss this fantastic band - makes me wish there were such places over here in Japan.

Thanks for keeping the board going, we're not so far until we get to Smiley Smile's 15 Big Ones!

Sorry, probably posted already, but who is playing drums on "Be Here In The Morning Darling"? Fantastic!

I love the 'Let's Go Away For A While' vibe of this track! And yeah, the drums are fantastic, thanks for the info C-Man!

I was rather reminded of the instrumental "Pet Sounds", but anyway, this track is so fantastic.

I'd go as far as to say this is the greatest revelation in BB archival releases since Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again 

Today's song is Saturday Morning In The City.

It's Dec 7 here and I finally got to listen to the two sets, but Live set is not out yet...This means there is more to come 

[SPOILER ALERT!!]

SPOILER ALERT!!

Both albums Mr. Fulton named are now on Spotify:

The Friends set: https://open.spotify.com/album/15Cy3saQTJbpFjKjaKW3HF?si=2C6j7S1wS0-2VT8YOv_WqQ

The 20/20 set: https://open.spotify.com/album/5kU8vfvTw9uagny4iDOG5v?si=9LzIVO58S-uYj97E9jt5Uw

These don't work for me... So I think it's for US only as of now? I surely hope there would be a physical release. I hate the digital release only. Especially with material like this.

It's only out in New Zealand as of now, according to those who has already listened to it. 

It should be available when it's Dec 7 0:00 AM in your region.

There is no information out there on Live set. Alan Boyd said there will be, so it's certain it will be released this month, but I'm not sure if it's tomorrow...

I'll report it if it's available over here two hour later.
