A bit of interesting information that a few people have pointed out. Some people who upload rarities and remixes to Youtube have begun to receive copyright claims for a few distinct tracks. So far these tracks have included: - My Solution [Track and Backing Vocals] (I swear this is real)
- Good Time [2019 Mix]
- Surf's Up [Brian Wilson Lead Vocal 2019 Mix]
Seems like some things are moving forwards.

All this talk about "leverage" and "holding out" for whatever deals strikes me as ludicrous. This isn't Smile. This isn't Pet Sounds. The market for this set is minuscule. The number of people who worldwide who are genuinely pining for this set is tiny (like a few thousand). In short, if one or more of the BRI principals truly believes that holding up this set gives him some sort of leverage over anything, he's delusional. (which, considering the history of the group, is actually more likely than not ) It's true. Bruce is holding the KTSA 40th deluxe set back purely for leverage over his range of designer shorts.

If Mr Linett's statement about an autumn release still holds true, and since the box is now apparently complete, we may be seeing something about it in the coming month. The first Beach Boys product to be officially mentioned beforehand since that Royal Philharmonic Orchestra album two years back.

One reservation I have about this project is the possibility the show will be used as a back-door way to get either Mike's original material in the licensing/royalty/soundtrack/sales pipeline, or even worse (IMO) to get Mike's numerous remakes, reworkings, and soundalikes of the original Beach Boys records into the pipeline versus the original records from the 60's. It would really, really be a shame if some kids watching this show with their family hear one of the many classics Mike re-recorded and thinks that was the real Beach Boys, or even worse somehow buys it thinking it's the real Beach Boys music.
Ya know, legacy/respect and all that stuff...
Yikes. Good point I'd hope the music supervisors would have enough brains to realize that the drek like the wretched Autotuned Help Me, Rhonda remake would make viewers tune out, like immediately, never to return. I was joking with some people that this show would use Unleash the Love Disc 2 tracks, but the more I think about it the more I can totally see that happening.

Here's my wishlist (or shopping list!) for this set:
What Can the Matter Be? You Never Give Me Your Money 'Til I Die 1969 demo (or any early versions for that matter, especially if the fabled version with 'positive' lyrics exists). I'm Going Your Way - just a nice, clean mixed and mastered version, please! My Solution - as above Won't You Tell Me Telephone Backgrounds (On a Clear Day)
...and any stuff Dennis was working on during this time frame, like It's a New Day and Behold the Night. I think everything else that was slated for his solo album came right after Surf's Up sessions wrapped so probably wouldn't belong here.
The positive lyrics Til I Die does exist. I doesn't circulate though.

Then we will move on to Keyboards. I will present my transcriptions of the Beach Boys most memorable Keyboard performances, in isolation.
When you say "keyboard performances", would that include things like the synth lines on Love You?

Smiley Smile Stuff / The Beach Boys Media / The Honeys - Running Away From Love Music Video?
|
on: January 10, 2020, 12:42:09 PM

A lot of you will probably be aware of the Honeys' 1983 album, Ecstasy. Well, the lead single from that album was Running Away From Love, which received a music video. I've seen references to the video in a few interviews and there's even an imdb page for it. All I've been able to find on the video so far is two screencaps supplied by the director and a few brief descriptions.
I'm wondering if anybody here has the video in their possession or if they have seen it. I've only been able to find one home video release, on Rockamerica Mainstream May 1984.

Speaking of the set...
What is one thing you guys are the most excited about hearing?
A HQ version of the original mix of Lady, the original version of Loop De Loop, alt lyrics Forever, possibly an alternate mix of This Whole World with the guitars more audible and the Eastern Airlines version, My Solution... The list goes on with all the stuff we know exists but hasn't been bootlegged.

Whatever happened to the Durrie Parks acetates on eBay? Been meaning to make a topic on it ..
They were purchased by a private collector, and are basically unheard other than a tantalizing snippet at the very, very tail end of Wake the World Friends set. I own that. Where at, exactly in the digital set is it? I really need to make a topic about this... At the very end of the 1966 Child Is Father of the Man track.

Add me to the list of folks who don't need vinyl added to a large boxed set that already has the same content on CD. I'm all for releasing stuff on vinyl for the people who want it, but there's no reason that can't be accomplished as a separate release. That was true of "Smile" as well. I would have gladly paid $30 less to skip the vinyl in that set. Didn't get also release the vinyl separately?
There have been archival releases like the McCartney sets where there are like 10 different SKUs with all the different variations. Single CD, Double CD, single vinyl, double vinyl, huge boxed set, deluxe set, etc. I know a BB set, if we even got a physical component at all, wouldn't see that sort of thing happen. But if Capitol/UMe wants to sell some BB boxed sets, they're better served not bloating the set out with extraneous, repetitive content like vinyl that repeats what's on the CDs.
Yeah, have a separate 3/4 LP release for the people who really like having stuff on vinyl. Make it like the Beatles' 50th sets and have Sunflower and Surf's Up (remixed if that's what they're going to do) and then devote the other records to finished tracks from the era which weren't included (IJGMP, 4th of July, WIBNTLA, I'm Goin Your Way).

Digital/Streaming is just fine with me.
...if the boxset is physical and it comes with some vinyls and a nice booklet...
I agree on the booklet, but it's a hard no on the vinyl. The vinyl is why the Smile Sessions boxset is way more expensive. It's a needless extravagance that should be a separate release. At the very least there should be a cheaper version without any vinyl.

Think it’s kind of obvious now, but does this officially confirm there won’t be a copyright extension release this year?
But wouldn't they lose the copyright on tracks like I'm Going Your Way if they fail to release them by 01/01/2020?

"ESQ Editor " "Good things are coming …"'
if it's contingent upon fan support of Mike Loves' songwriting induction
then you know where you can shove it
Mike deserves the induction. I agree he does but I’m hoping this is about a 1969 set Ah, I thought it was a comment about how he didn't. My mistake. Hope it's the 1969 set too.
