[Want To]

Here's the tracklisting from the Apple Music listing which seems to indicate which mixes are 2021, etc.

Thanks for sharing that, I am probably most excited by the new mix for the love you tracks as well as this mysterious "alternate take" of all I wanna do, I'm guessing this would be something that was totally different and not included on the FF box

The timestamp matches the Dennis lead on All I Want To Do from 2018, so it seems more likely it's a typo.

I think the chances of such a tour are very poor to begin with. As for The Honeys, they’ve been retired from performing for many years, at least Marilyn has, and it might also bring back painful memories with the way her and Brian’s marriage dissolved.

The Honeys performed a show in August. They still perform shows, just not regularly.

Susie Cinc , Back home- 7/3/76- Anaheim
Disney Girls- Blossom Music Center  6/11/82
This Whole World - Groton, Ct 6/19/88
Riot In Cellblock #9- Big Sur  Festival 10/3/1970
Its About Time- Fillmore East 6/27/1971
Surfs Up- Chicago 8/15/73
Take Good Care of Your Feet, Add Some Music To Your Day-  NYC- 11/26/93
Student Demonstration Time- Carnegie Hall 11/23/72
Long Promised Road- Carnegie Hall 11/23/72

I goofed on SDT it is actually from the Fillmore East in 1971 ...so the credit in the box is correct......

Mr Linett, from listening to copies of both shows online, Student Demonstration Time sounds a lot closer to the Carnegie Hall shows than the Fillmore East. I believe your initial assessment was indeed correct.

Fantastic. Can't wait for more of these. More glimpses into the home studio are always appreciated!

With Amazon UK cancelling orders willy-nilly, does anyone know of a safe bet to buy the 5 CD box set from over here? Thanks

HMV?

Sold out now, online at least.

IIRC in a much more recent interview Al expressed a similar sentiment, but specified that it was about the 1993 Box Set tour (the show that Take A Load Off Your Feet and Add Some Music are from on Discs 1 and 2).

Thanks, SM. One of those "domino" harmony vocals (Carl's or Bruce's?) could have shattered a window.

I believe it's Bruce's harmony you're referring to. That man's vocal talents are astounding at times.

There are so many of these it's ridiculous. Was "Duke of Earl" ever done prior to the split of the band, or just in the Mike & Bruce years.

It's first documented in 1999

Frankly, as legendary as that Brian/Van Dyke cassette tape is, and how interesting it might be to hear Dennis sing SOS, what I want Howie and Alan and Mark to conjure up is a tape where someone is singing the original "Beatrice" lyrics before they were rewritten. And then--because I'm egregiously greedy about all things "Mess of Help"--I want the jam session from Bellagio where Carl and the outside musicians worked on the backing track (referred to in the Dutch interview posted over at the "nearest faraway place"...). Just fork that stuff over, guys, so I can die in peace...

I'd just like to know the full lyric to it, let the cookie monster impersonators of the world record a vocal for it. I know the first verse has been posted to this very board at some point in the past.

Do you guys think that the alternate version of add some music is the one with the original lyrics?

I believe it was one of 30 second snippets last year. It does have the original lyrics

Oh interesting, I didn't listen to the snippets as it tend to ruin the first listening experiences for me so I missed out on all of that haha. I'm very much looking forward to hearing how it sounds with the original lyrics

Judging by the snippet, it'll be exactly the same mixing as the version that has gone around for the past 15 odd years (hard panned lead vocal and all). But it'll at least be in high quality finally

Is that ending to "This whole World", which I haven't heard yet, the same they played on that one commercial?

I believe so, this is the alternate tag described

Looks like the alternate lyric version of Till I Die has leaked on youtube.

I'd love to verify this, but I can't find it.

Found it. Interesting. aside from the lyric change, it's also very dry. Nice to hear that Rhythm King (Go Go setting) soloed.

Interestingly, it's not the mix that will be on the box (which clocks in at around 5 minutes).

Perhaps an extra two minutes of the Rhythm King?

IIRC an article has already described it as being essentially the same (as I read it) to the Alternate Mix on Endless Harmony. So opening with the instruments building up.

EDIT: It's the Uncut article, which states "A stretched-out version of the august “’Til I Die”, with a lingering bass and vibraphone intro, attempts to inject Brian’s existential crisis with a misplaced feelgood factor."

I expect that the next announcement will be that we get to hear another track from the box set.

And a random one, at that.

This just in, Surf's Up acapella mix now up on YouTube, from other sources. Sounds yummy!

It appears to finally have been officially released on Amazon and Apple Music. The Acapella on Youtube is just the version accidentally released on Qobuz, "remastered" by the uploader.

Is the delay on physical only?

No. The dates on digital versions have been changed now,

Howie Edelson has stated this much. People are speculating manufacturing delays or whatever.

It's August 27th, folks.

Nothing untoward, weird, or sinister -- just a scheduling thing, as is commonplace.
I promise, a ton of cool stuff coming up.

Get pumped.

To be entirely clear, since they still all say July 30th, this does include the digital releases, doesn't it?

So... my 2cd order from amazon UK has been pushed back to September 2nd

Cool

Yep my Amazon US order of the 5CD set was pushed to 8/27

 

Could this mean that worldwide release has been postponed to late August? I'd be disappointed.

The physical one for sure. But curiously, both Amazon and Apple Music still list the date as July 30th. Hopefully it's just the physical that's delayed and we don't have to wait another month to hear it at all.

Looks like LBWL has been pulled from download/streaming services. Wonder if 43 North Broadway got in trouble?

My pet theory is that Iconic has bought the rights and are preparing a deluxe reissue for its 50th anniversary this October

please include session excerpts . . . please include session excerpts. . .

Is there any reason why we haven’t seen sessions from Summer Days and Today released officially?

I assume nothing recorded at that time needs to be released for copyright reasons. The only outtake that comes to mind is Sandy/Sherry which was a hybrid release on Made in California.

According to Mark Linett some years back, they proposed the idea of a 1965 set to Capitol, but clearly the powers that be didn't feel it was worth doing.

I'd love to be able to download the mp3's PLUS order the book (physical or digital). But unfortunately not possible. Never play cd's or vinyl, always transfer to mp3. Don't get me wrong, been a fan and bought vinyl ever since 1965, but times have changed...

I've seen there's Hi-Res mp3 available. Any information on that? The quality compared to cd/vinyl?

Qobuz lists a FLAC download for around £55, which is lossless format, higher quality than mp3. However you can rip FLAC files from the CD anyway with a computer.

The a capella version of Surf's Up.

Oh my lord.

https://www.qobuz.com and search for the Feel Flows set. Then scroll through the tracks and purchase the track. Only that and Big Sur are available for now.

Yeah it's been up for a couple days. I bought it on Wednesday. Odd that it hasn't been officially mentioned or added to streaming yet. But hey, I'm not complaining. The cleanest Child coda yet more than satisfies me.

I can understand why they weren't a part of this set, but I would love for the mono promo mixes of Susie Cincinatti and Add Some Music to turn up on an end of year copyright dump I'm guessing maybe the next mix of the former on the box will mirror this in stereo - we'll soon know!

For me, the big missing thing is Silly Walls, that Wilson/Sandler thing. They included Awake, and It's Natural is a Brian/Sandler thing according to Don Goldberg's book. A bit sad they missed out on the third one - my favourite of the two that circulate.
To be clear, I am incredibly excited for the set, it's just this one omission I'm a bit bummed by.
