I absolutely love the copyright releases but loath the way the digital only releases are handled.  No announcements.  No rhyme or reason. 

TID is my favorite song by any composer, writer, band, artist, etc.

It is an opus in songwriting and highs be on the soundtrack.

The Stephen Desper alt mix is my favorite and has been my favorite song since I heard the air version in 1994.

Thank you Howie for keeping us sane!  Your the best.

I have kept up buying every single copyright extension but this burns me!

Someone posted the copyright dump on Bandcamp on here.

So I went there and wasn’t sure if they were legit or bad boots.  You couldn’t play any samples.  The second Flame album was on there.  I literally went back the next day and they were all taken down.

So ticked and upset.  I would love to hear the Flame album.

Being a major fan of this band is not easy.  I can’t believe they drop stuff in iTunes for copyright dumps and not announce anything.  So if you don’t know, you could lose out,

Doesn’t make any sense!

PS: what about a fan club subscription service if rare releases in many formats to service the fans.. flac/wav/mp3.

So I’m 51, have heard BB music etc but then became an obsessed, loving fan in 1993.  Brian became my most beloved musical treasure of them all, went through the whole entire era where I couldn’t just buy a two fee or Pet Sounds on CD’s, etc.  Those were dark times.  My brother and Zi almost got into a fist fight when we found Surf’s up in a used bin.  All in all, they have been my band for decades!

With that being said, with all the teases and TBA (to be announced) catalog starts, stops and freezes, it’s made me not believe anything until it’s in my hand.

So, it’s clunky and frustrating, the copyright releases non physical have been awesome!  I love the combing of the vault.  It drives me nuts there are no announced and if you catch them, good on you? But I love them.

Now, with all this being said, let’s get seriously down to the box sets.

I, as a serious HUGE fan can not say enough about them.

I feel like this starts with the pet sounds box set after the ill fated “smile sessions” box set that my brother and I kept checking week after week for info in 1995 only to constantly read TBA… to be announced.

I didn’t believe Feel and Sailor were real until I had them in my hands.

I am in 100000000000% as a consumer and as a fan for more and more box sets.

After the sale of the partial catalog, I thought we would see more.  I love The Beatles, Pink
Floyd, Jimi, etc.  I still hoped the Bob could be marketed to include their shirts among these other bands in stores.

Our band has always been marketed horrible and image wise go on the cover of Pet sounds and no stupid striped shorts, etc.

Ok so back on topic, I am dying for more 73 soundboard shows, Adult child/15/love box maybe include any 74 Carribou recordings that survived… even if it’s only digital I would love a MIU/LA/Keeping box.  There is so much more to go but I feel like the end is here on this front.

Truly hope I’m wrong but man, we can seriously keep going with so many things.  I hope this isn’t it and we get more.

Wishful thinking.  Love and mercy!

That is horrible.  My condolences.

I was thinking about something.  My BB cd collection is HUGE.  I truly think the rarest thing I have is a A+ rip of the BB 1977 unreleased album from the 93 promo cassette.  I never see this around.   1000% mint and clean.  Just a thought. 

As a die hard fan, I love the Wilson/Paley tapes.

I would Love to see these original tapes get a proper release.

Marketplace alone fills me with joy.

Does ANYONE know where we are at.  Listening to the Sail On boxed set and I love it.  Ready to purchase more!

I absolutely love being!
