Wow, I'm not even kidding, within 10 minutes of my post here
On smiley I just received a job offer that is far
Better than my previous job!  This album is magical in more ways than one, just now starting my second listening, & I can assure you that the tears will come out this time!  This is one of the greatest days of my life, thank you for those who left the nice comments as well.  

Enjoy this great day of great music everyone!

A very heartfelt congratulations to you! I'm in a similar boat. Getting laid off from work (a job I've been in for 11 years) in a couple of weeks, and money is extremely tight right now. I've been waiting/wishing/hoping/praying for a release of SMiLE for about 30 years, so today is a somewhat bittersweet day (but the sweet SO much outweighs the bitter) as I simply can't afford the box set, but was able to turn in some of my old CDs and pick up the 2CD set.

I'm listening to the 2Cd set now and am in heaven. Hopefully soon I'll also find a good job, and your story gives me faith. And yes, somewhere down the road there's a 5 Cd box with my name on it out there. Best wishes to you, and SMiLE! 

Beautiful, thanks so much for sharing that!!

Very disturbing, as they can't possibly have had time to incorporate all the instructions and advice we've been giving them from this board.

   

Nice to see you here Cal. I enjoy your posts on the Elvis board.   

Buffalo Wings?

I just got back from the show, it's quite something to see. Probably would have to go see it again just to catch everything that goes on onstage.  Puts a whole new spin on a lot of the Beatles music.
