No one knows how much I desire this set than my wife, and I honestly think she'll want it to be released just to keep me quiet

In all seriousness though, a collection of this material finally released to the world would truly make so many people's 2020 far better than it has been. I'm lucky that I haven't hit too hard, but this set would still make all the difference. The prospect of a large book to go along with this set, with many of the wonderful photos from this era inside, would be a huge icing on the cake, and I'm sure if this gets a physical release, that would be a no brainer.

My money is merely waiting BRI. Show me the payment link and there will be no hesitation.

100% agree and my wife too!

Digital or box set... but I need this, I really need it.

I want the boxset dammit!

I've never wanted something so much.
Checking all the time for news here and there. I need this boxset.

If I could go back in time...

1. Knebworth, England - June 20, 1980
2. Anaheim, CA - July 3, 1976 (Brian's back...)
3. L.A. County Fairgrounds, Pomona, CA - September 26, 1983 (this should be the last one with Dennis)

Wow! Do you have it in hi-res quality?
I'm looking for a better quality Brother Studio logo
Thanks

I bought one of these from e-bay, imported from the USA to the UK, a few weeks ago as a Christmas present to myself from my kids!

I just opened it tonight and was gutted to find there was NO signed postcard from Al.  Has anyone else had this issue?

The vinyl looks pristine, unplayed (I've now played it and it sounded great, very clean, no pops or clicks).  The record was still sealed and looked to be genuine.  On other people's versions, where was the postcard placed?  Also, some of the font looks fuzzy (the back cover art and the "Recorded at Red Barn Studios..." bit on the inside of the gatefold under the song info).  Is this the same on all the other copies out there?  The pictures aren't particularly great either.  Is this just because the artwork has been blown up for the LP?

I just watched a video on youtube of someone opening a signed version and I could read the font better than my own copy!  I wouldn't have thought anyone would try to bootleg an Al Jardine LP.  It looks like a badly photocopied cover, a bit like my 'fake' butcher Yesterday and Today Beatles LP. 

Thank for any info!

I don't know, I'm still waiting my copy. But, I had a bad experience on ebay years ago when I bought a Beatles boxset of 9 cds... I thought it was original... when it arrived I knew there was something wrong, pictures weren't detailed, gatefold cds were broken and.... when I read the credits there was a big surprise, all Beatles names were typed wrong, like Faul McCartney, Pingo Starr and so on... So check the names if everything is correct.
I was totally pissed off!!!

Please let me know if the Live 68 set is still not available overseas and which countries have the issue so I can let Capitol know.

ALso if the 66 or 67 sets ae still not available in the UK.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark
In Italy only the 68 live set is not available. 66, 67 and the latest 68 studio sessions are available to purchase.
Thanks

I Get Around from "The Navigator" movie, 1986
That's how I discovered TBB.

Hi everyone.
I read all the past posts about the Inside Pop film shown on Malcolm Leo's AB. I was wondering if any news came up with that footage, maybe someone has fresh news. Is there any hope to see those reels?

Watching AB or Endless Harmony (...I don't remember right now), at some point it's shown Brian for a few seconds playing at the piano wearing a dark red shirt, he seems really into the song he was playing. Everything was dark... Anyone noticed that? What track was that? If I'm not mistaken I've never heard that in any of the Smile tracks that I heard.

I just want to keep this topic "alive" and not forgotten. In one of those posts guitarfool2002 wrote about Smile: "What we don't know is greater than what we know" (or something like that). Nothing more true.

This is very interesting!!
I suppose that the sources of the best quality were taken directly from the original reels or exact copies, we are talking about tapes that are in the hands of high-high-level collectors since the late 60s, maybe friends of friends of friends... I think TBB did not have complete control of their material at some point in their career and maybe someone could have stolen the missing smile tapes and copied the other original tapes with professional equipment. This is just my opinion, but who knows, I like this kind of mystery.

This will bring up my re-mastering of the Friends Album, which is better sounding than you have ever heard. The panorama is enlarged, some parts heretofore buried are now audible, and some sections have been completely re-worked, for the better.

Stephen that sounds AWESOME! Really crystal sound. Thanks al lot.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how it is possible to have a quotation of my BB records collection (CDs, LPs...), is there a particular website or something?
I have some out of print records/cds and I wondered how much could it be the value.

Thanks

Hi
Here is my top 3!

1. DW - Pacific Ocean Blue
Definitely the most underrated solo album in music history!

2. BW - Imagination
There are two songs that are worth the whole album in my opinion: Cry and Lay Down Burden. This album came out after the loss of Carl, so I' think it's very emotional.

3. BW - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times
I like the type of sound on songs like Love and Mercy and Let The Wind Blow. Different.

It is always hard to list a ranking for a BB fan..

Hi Stephen, I saw that tiny tape (the first one), I thought about buying some but I have to say that they're very expensive!
Thanks for sharing!

I love reading about these details!!! Thanks Stephen!

Have you gotten back to him yet, Mr. Bramsen?

I'm confident! 

Thanks @bicyclerider!!
I'm trying to reconstruct chronologically the whole session.

Vale and Hickory Violet,

I am very new to the board and am just getting into deep tracks and "deep facts." I had no idea of the Dumb Angel-Smile connection. Thanks for the info!

You're welcome! I'm getting into "deep facts" too!

In order to reconstruct the complete Pet Sounds recording sessions, which sources do you think are needed?
I mean PS Boxset from 97, SOT, Vigotone/YD, PS50th... and so on...

No no my fault I misunderstood.
You're right about SOT, I remember it sounds different from other previous sessions. I do not listen to those sessions for a while, though. I'll check later tonight.

1. Didn't Brian supposedly record some country album in the early 70's? He was asked to or something? Ok that may be false but I definitely read it somewhere. Could "Dumb Angel" be this country album?

In BB history "Dumb Angel" is considered the inital title for the SMiLE album, so I don't think it's a new project for a country album, that album should have been "Cows in the pasture" which was abandoned by Brian in early 70s.
