Summer days and summer nights of course.  The beach boys era I wish lasted a lil longer.  Glad to have it in wonderful stereo finally.

Hey, I'd love to see the "Brianista" word go away, too.

uh huh...

Ray, you're asking Brianistas to use both sides of their brain. A daunting task.

Brian actually has a brain; this is a possession that Brianistas are short on.

Well, the writer's intelligence is just about on par with your everyday Brianista...he gets about 5% of it right and promptly spends 95% of the essay slinging mud.

You may be the only one I see use that term commonly. 

I still don't know what reverb is but I think I'm ok with that lol. 

I also gotta give props to some of these mono mixes because they sound amazing. 

I skipped out on getting 50BO though.  I wanna see what's going to be on the box set first.

Help me Rhonda in stereo is definitely the big wiff of the set, but the mono has always been perfect anyway.  Let him run is beautiful though.

got Today, Smiley Smile and Summer Days Summer Nights today.  I'll get around to the others soon enough!!

Today and SS sound great awesome in stereo.   SDSN I haven't listened yet.

best buy says "coming soon" for store pickup on the albums.  I'll just wait and see if they have em before I order them online.  albums are always dirt cheap the week they come out in best buy.

He also said these twelve would never be released here. Face it Wirestone, you set your sights extremely low so you'll never be disappointed and will never see incoming earth-destroying meteors and can walk down the string goin "HUM BEE DEE DEE HUM BEE DEE DEE NO NO NO EVERYHONE AROUND ME SCREAMING NOTHINGS GOING WRONG SOMEONE JUST SAID 'METEOR' THEY'RE WRONG I CAN'T SEE IT OH LOOK A PENNY" and then you start to feel a little hot because the meteor approaches but you just keep looking down and then the meteor hits you and then my friend... you die. And THEN MY FRIEND YOU DIE, MAN.

As will we all, I expect. I was just posting what AGD had said earlier about the change in plans over the rereleases. Has nothing to do with my outlook on life.

When did he say this?? I'd be shocked that people on this board had anything to do with it getting a release here.

brian's cover of wonderful world grew on me like Love You did, much for those vocals.  really dig it though. 

damn listen to that live b-pain

ha, beach boys singing hot hot heat, that is a wild thought.

anyway, i wish they did "he's a rebel".  the morning benders (RIP), did a cover of the tune similar to Party. and it works!

the only standalone (non-twofer, 11 tracks) Smiley Smile on my spotify is dated 1967.

Weeeelll, it's up there for me

Guess they are still workin' on making it available in different countries? anyway the stereo sounds amazing.

not available in US. sigh.

Won't be available here until the official release date. Makes sense, doesn't it?

Wasn't aware they had been released outside Japan yet.  I SEE.

well we can listen to Good Vibrations (mono) and Heroes and Villains (stereo).  The album art changes to endless summer and hawthorne respectively though.  I'm not sure if these are actually from those albums...the good vibrations sounds better than TSS.

That's correct. and I'm certain the stereo Heroes and the mono Good Vibrations aren't actually the ones on the remaster, it's Spotify pulling them from other albums. if you click on the "Today!" link someone posted, there's a decent amount of stereo tracks, but they're all sourced from things like the singles box, Summer Love Songs, et cetera, and not from the current remasters.

When i just searched for the albums, they came up.  I assume it's the remasters cause they have a 2012 date on the bottom of the album screen.  Not sure though...and they only have the songs listed, nothing specified as "mono" or "stereo" and only have the songs on their once.  not sure if this is what everyone else is hearing. cause pretty sure these are the mono's.

i don't get when brickwalled got so painful to listen to though.  I'm fairly certain the first 2 oasis albums are "brickwalled" and they sound great. 

i got the last killers single when it came out on itunes and it sounded so horrible.  It was painful to listen to.  But on the physical album the song sounded fine.  So an itunes only release would be preeetty crappy.

Really cool vid, thanks for sharing. I thought the song started off pretty cool, but wasn't big on the chorus.

The vid was very good...at portraying the incorrect public view that all Brian ever did was:
make surf music -> pet sounds -> fail making smile -> lie in bed 30 years -> remake smile -> surfing again and endless summer bullsh*t everywhere.

makes me sick, it sucked. The concept and production was well done, the story line even messed up the PS - 1964 airplane incident. how the f*** can one f*** up in a beach boys story lasting 4 min?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Wait,I'm not sure if I'm laughing with you, or at you.

I would pick twgmtr 10/10 times over TLOS

holy sh*t darlin 

was never particularly big on the tune but uh. that's changing.

i have no issue with that.  save em for the boxset and regular b-sides album coming

I often wonder where his upper lip went

of course there are.

anyway, i've always found that no matter how hard the beach boys fight to be lame, their music is really hip. 

surfer girl is a gooooood album. 

why is this sped up too.  I can't take it.  

this SUUUUCKS compared to the album version.

Well, Child is Father of The Man was not part of Surf's Up in 1966,

How do you know this?
