Sounds like Sarah Borges to me...

For anyone who doesn't already have a copy of MiC (or anyone that wants an extra copy, I suppose), Amazon will be featuring it as part of their Lightning Deals today at 4:00 pm est. The sale price hasn't been announced yet, but I would assume it will be heavily discounted. A rough guess would be 20 to 40 percent off. These deals tend to end pretty quickly, so if you're interested I would try to be there at or near the start. Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=bf2013_ln_music?ie=UTF8&node=4989003011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-2&pf_rd_r=063H1DEMC799SKVSCPRS&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1680025222&pf_rd_i=384082011


UPDATE: Sale price is $80.49.

I got mine at $80.49...Smiley

According to Amazon only 9 % were claimed...

Hmmm...I guess I got lucky...

I canceled my Amazon order and got it from DeepDiscount.com instead...

Arrived Saturday and I'm in western PA...

Too overwhelmed to post a review right now...

Visions of a new SMiLE mix are dancing through my head...

YES !!!

I pre-ordered my box set from DeepDiscount.com for $116.99...

Got the email that they shipped it yesterday...Since I got the
FREE shipping it would take 5 - 10 business days till it reached
me...Which was about how long prior shipments took to reach
me from DeepDiscount...Mostly DVDs...

But...Who knew Christmas would arrived early???  Shocked

I walked though the snow to my post office this morning and
guess what I found???

deepdiscountCD says the box has shipped and it should arrive Wednesday by the end of the day. 

I can hardly wait to get this up on the shelf where I can admire it forever and ever

DeepDiscount sent me a delivery email today too!

Unfortunately I got the free shipping and will have to wait 5-10 business days...

But...I'll be visiting Best Buy on Nov 1st for the 2 CD set to tide me over!

After I do receive my box set I'll be drolling all over it...

And I'll be making another SMiLE mix like everybody else...Smiley

Peter, does that mean Frank Holmes' work isn't being used?

Or does it mean that Dom is helping Tom Recchion to present Frank's work in addition to other artwork?


After all this time wrangling for the music's release, I'd hate for the only quibble to be about the artwork. A minor quibble, but Frank's work is very evocative of the whole smile 66-67 project.

The artwork isn't a minor quibble. To accurately use for once a hugely overworked word, it is iconic. To release this project without using Frank's cover is, simply unthinkable. remember, Frank wasn't paid back in the day, and his artwork wasn't used on BWPS because no-one would match his asking price. Hopefully Capitol won't be so stupid this time.


Delurking for a clarification...

Andrew...

Underneath the picture of the SMiLE cover art it says...

Could this mean that Capitol Records has met Frank's price since the copyright
for the album cover art is attributed to Both Frank and Capitol Records???

i was watching pardon the interruption last year and they were talking about the giants pitcher brian wilson, and tony k said something like "the pitcher, not the beach boy"

I remember watching Sportscenter during the playoffs when one of the ESPN guys said
"Brian Wilson(SF Giants) wants to be hero, not a villain"...  Grin

I got a good laugh out of that...

But I'm not sure how many Baseball fans got it...

Anyone else hear a snippet of "The Spirit of Rock n' Roll" in the intro to "The Like In I Love You"?  Specificially the "as long's there's music we'll all live forever" melody.

Yep...That's the first thing I thought too...

Every time I play the song...I sing that snippet during the intro...  Banana

And let's not forget about the 1975 Red Sox team...

They had a pair of pitchers named Dick...

Dick Pole...

And

Dick Drago...

I have a trading card for Dick Pole from '75!

Well, whereas I used to have next to no problems, now, although the main menus load just fine, the individual threads won't, to the point where I can only read the most recent post. The page is continually loading. The only way around it is to hit reply and try to read the microscopic font.

This is since about 11pm last night UK time.

same problem here

Ditto...

Started a few days ago for me...

No problem loading site or forums...

But loading individual threads takes up to 2 minutes to completely load...

"waiting for feeds.feedburner.com" is the message displayed at the bottom of my Firefox browser
as its trying to load in the thread...

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced a glitch, specifically during the instrumental break @ 59:46-59:48. Dennis's drum fill isn't in sync with the audio. I've A/B'd it with the SOS DVD which doesn't seem to have this problem. I just want to identify whether or not I have a dud copy.

Thanks in advance.

I taped it off a PBS pledge drive a few months ago and watched it again today...

There definitely was some sort of "glitch" during the instrumental break...

was Amy Winehouse!  Shocked
