I got that promo cd.

This is remaster/stereo mix of the 1963 demo of Thank Him. Hope someone on here enjoys it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejfmr1-FifQ

I don't follow the Monkees and their solo material closely, but I have heard great things about Nez's solo career.

It is very good. This compilation is a good one for anyone wanting to get his best for a good price.

The season 3 finale of Better Call Saul aired yesterday, it was great.

Any opinions on these shows? They are some of the best TV shows of all time, IMO.

Does anyone else here like this 1980s gem, made by Michael Nesmith from The Monkees and The First National Band?

Better than the original.

Sorry to revive an old thread.

I remember this show. I still have some DVDs of the series that someone made for me. I've watched them recently and it's still a pretty well done show. Either though I think that this is one of the worst episodes (not rating it higher even if Brian Wilson is in it).

The theme song is one of the best I've ever heard for a TV show.

The people in my area barley even know who they are. And if they do, then they only listen to what they hear on the radio.
10  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Building a CD Collection on: March 30, 2017, 09:59:22 PM
The 1990 two-fers are the way to go, IMO. Sure, they are no-noised, but they sound great comparing to the recent remasters.


If you're willing to pay more to get the best sound, than get the DCC discs if you can.
11  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Do the Beach Boys Own Vinyl Collections? on: February 12, 2017, 06:40:17 AM
When was it that Brian went into a record store and realized that he didn't actually own a copy of Pet Sounds and so he bought it? I wonder if the guy selling it to him had any idea...

Did this actually happen?

I'm sure I read it somewhere, would be great if someone else can confirm so I know I'm not imagining it, lol!

I remember reading about it the "I am Brian Wilson" book from last year.
12  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Wishes for Beach Boys 2017 on: January 27, 2017, 03:21:40 PM
That stereo mix of Wild Honey that was made back in 2012.
13  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Are the Beach Boys 'Famous'? on: January 23, 2017, 05:28:19 PM
"Sounds of Summer" Beach Boys = famous
"Made in California" Beach Boys = (sadly) not very famous.
14  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: RollingStone.com Article on “Problem Child” Theme on: January 10, 2017, 05:28:03 PM
I have a radio promo cd of this. It's barely used (obviously). I much prefer the radio edit to any other version.

This is one of my personal favorites!
16  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Weirdest Photos of Brian Wilson you can find on: December 18, 2016, 09:31:47 PM

Looks like Brian has some kind of a Buddy Holly thing going on.
17  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: You & I featured on HBO show Divorce on: December 18, 2016, 09:29:04 PM
Anyone have a clip of it?
18  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: I Am Brian Wilson - A Soundtrack on: November 25, 2016, 12:13:05 PM
Wasn't "Celebrate the News" in the book?

Bought my Smile Sessions box set in March this year on this. Great service!
20  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What's the most obscure BB song that could get prominent soundtrack placement? on: November 17, 2016, 09:56:04 PM
River Song being used in Marley and Me is a little unusual, but it kind of fits at the part it's played in.

This is sad.  Cry
22  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Razor & Tie Greatest Hits set. on: November 11, 2016, 06:27:28 AM
I don't know that it's categorically the best sounding BB CD around, but it is the most obscure of Steve Hoffman's remasterings of BB material, and Hoffman's work on the BB catalog is always excellent.

It obviously shares a lot of the same tracks he did on "Endless Summer", "Spirit of America", and "Pet Sounds", but I think there are still some tracks on that set that are unique and only way to get Hoffman-mastered versions, mainly "Little Saint Nick" and the latter portion of Disc Two, the post-1966 stuff.

It appears the bottom has partially fallen out of the collectible market for old audiophile CD pressings (DCC, MFSL, etc.) in the last 5-7 years due to downloadable (and physical media) high-rez releases, and I'm sure other factors. So I don't know how valuable this set actually is.

I know part of the novelty of tracking this particular set down is that it has the most generic title imaginable, generic cover art, and online vendors could easily have some other CD titled "Greatest Hits."

But yeah, this is a cool find and I know at least 7-10 years ago a lot of folks on the Hoffman board considered it a tiny bit of a holy grail as far as Hoffman's BB work.

It's pretty rare from what I've seen. Doesn't appear for sale that often. Normally goes up for $150-250.
23  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Razor & Tie Greatest Hits set. on: November 06, 2016, 12:13:32 PM
Check if it's a Steve Hoffman remaster, he worked for Razor & Tie, and his CDs sound best.

It is. And the sound quality blew my mind!
