Me too... I also remember driving out to Brockport to play you an advance copy of Problem Child that I obtained...... lol

"Heroes and Villains" at WalMart last week

Thomas was not an original member of BST.

I don't care.  Mean's nothing whatsoever.  Al Kooper's version was what?  Not hitmakers.  David sang ALL of their hits.

DCT left BS&T in 2004...moved home to Toronto and still makes solo albums.  BS&T is now fronted by Bo Bice who was on American Idol.... The BS&T name is owned by the original drummer Bobby Colomby.  He chooses the current musicians who make up the band.

My guess, as long as there is an "original" member (I would include any of the C50 guys), there is a chance the Beach Boys name is used on tour. Once those members are retired or deceased, we will see tribute bands, many consisting of family members, touring band members, etc. I could see a scenario where the Beach Boys name is used in the title, kind of like what Al was doing before Mike squashed that.

The Four Freshman have been mentioned a few times, but are there any other bands that have no original members that are still touring?

I sent my discs back to amazon and am waiting for another set. I finally noticed disc three looked like someone had raked it across gravel.

I'm sending mine back to them too..  disc one skips then stops on track 12 of disc one..  my corners of the book were creased (in shipment?.. packing
box looked like it went thru a war).. inside where the CD's are stored has a big scratch in the cardboard as if someone's nail gouged it when the CD's were
inserted...

Mine is a 45 purchased is a special package at Target..included a T-shirt and the single
in a yellow cardboard box that looked like a radio

bgas - Yeah, might have to wait til tomorrow, but at least we know they are in the mail.

Bee-line buzz to upstate New York!  Go!

I ordered mine the first day it was available and got it today via mail in Rochester NY

Also -- you will notice this is not a remake of "Summer Means New Love," as suggested somewhere earlier on this board.

To my ears the beginning harmony section is the same melody as "Summer Means New Love"

If Everybody Had An Ocean

Got mine Saturday.. in New York State

I'm going to give Channel Surfing a spin to celebrate.. love that album!

For my youngest daughter's wedding we used the Dennis version of Forever for the father/daughter dance because that's the
tune she wanted.  Also used The Like In I Love You for our family dance.. that turned out nice.  No one had ever
heard that one before.

Spoke with Universal Customer Service tonight (12/19)

Said they are waiting for a new batch of replacement discs ..  first batch is gone.

They wanted the proof of purchase emailed to them as well..   
 

All the above... thanks for the info on acetates...   enjoying this release immensely.....
CJ

bgas:

is that the usual sound quality for an acetate?  I don't think I've ever heard one!..  CJ

Anyone know the source for Summer Moon?  Acetate?
Seems the roughest of all these songs..

Stan is retired and lives in Las Vegas.  He is a neighbor of one of my best friends...    CJ

Ian and Jon,

Thoroughly enjoying looking through your book.  Today I took my list of 35 shows I attended
from 1967-1997 and had a great time locating them in the book.  It brought back alot of good
memories.  And yes... all 35 were documented in the book.  You guys did a really nice job, and
it is certainly a great reference/collectable to have on the book shelf...

Best regards,

CJ

It makes me dizzy watching it due to the camera edits

They didn't have it in my local Target either.  The kid looked at me like I was insane when I asked for a 45..... CJ

This tune was played as "exit music" at the C50 concert I went to.. seemed very appropriate...

great people on that board. They respected each other.

Couldn't have said it better... no personal attacks, just generous fans....

Saw a thread on this awhile back.  At Darien Lake in Western NY on Friday and enjoyed the pre/post show music..

Eric Carmen, Bruce and Terry, Four Freshman, Summer Means New Love as exit music AND.. and one tune I could not place but I've heard it before.

A harmony song with slow verses and a chorus that sounded something like "standing in that line"....  any guesses as to what that was?

Who the hell is Rick Flair?

Sounds like things have not changed over the years. I have been in close proximity to ML several times. The ONLY time he was cordial was when we were in a VIP tent before a concert for those who donated to the Love Foundation, or whatever it was called. He was smiling, talked to my wife, accepted a 2-shot picture from 1968 of Mike and myself. HOWEVER, beware if you catch him by surprise after a show or in an instance such as you described. He DOES NOT LIKE drive-by greetings from anyone but the ladies. And then only after careful scrutiny.

I had the exact same experience as you did with Mike Love in 1990.
