Wow! Hold On Dear Brother is outstanding!

Seconded , superb

Thirded, exceptional performance of a good song, the vocals on the 'I want your love...' sections in particular .

I'm guessing this is the first time this HODB has been played live since about 1974/75?

So about that Beach Boys 2015 tour, a UK date on 31st May 2015 at The Royal Albert Hall has been announced according to Andrew. I might just go to that didn't get to go to TRAH last time around.

I haven't had a chance to fully digest this new release yet but what I have heard is excellent, In The Parkin' Lot a capella especially.

I'm quite glad that my ears cannot distinguish between lossy and lossless thus saying me the anguish that several members here seem to be experiencing.

Casper, please intro yourself so we know who we're talking to, K? Or did you just change your alias? Thanks.

The files I downloaded for the "Keep An Eye On Summer" comp are Mp4 files. And to be honest, while I have plenty of other FLAC files, I'm sure I can't tell the difference if these were Mp3, Mp4, Flac, or Wav (PCM) files. The quality is that good - comparable or better than my SOT 60's sessions on CD. No high-freq hiss or bass loss that I can distinguish. Are these suppose to be 320mps or 256mps Mp3's?  I wonder how I got Mp4's, which are video quality files.

Since you asked so nicely I'll tell you, I'm Casper Van Diem, 'star' of Starship Troopers.

Or I'm Paulos returning with a new alias.

The files I downloaded also show as MP4 and a quick look shows them to be 260kbps, but I have no idea what that actually means.
