Sorry, but I get excited when somebody posts my YouTube videos. So, yes, that is indeed my video. However, I'm scared that I'm going to wear the single out soon enough. If you want the original MP3, PM me. If thats legal...
This album for me is one of my albums I just have to have. Not because its a good album, but because of what it is. I personally think that its not that bad of an album, but It could definitley use some work on the production, and why would anyone come up with Summer Of Love! (But the video is halarious!) While I do prefer some of the European versions, I cannot decide on my favourite Summer In Paradise. Every version is a fun listen for me, especially the live version.
I was actually quite lucky, and managed to snag this Cd at my local record shop for £7! However, it was an american import (the american one) so I didn't get the the rarer European version, but ah well. Oh how I laughed when he passed it to me saying 'thats a great album that is!' Although he proceded to show me how it opened, so maybe he was talking about the packaging! I just wish it was easier to get on Vinyl, its the only one I'm missing (Stars And Stripes doesn't count for me).
Overall, I feel that, while everything in the box, and about it, is fantastic, I really don't like the mix of 'Vegatables' from the SMiLE tracks. Everything just seems so unbalanced, and the ending is all over the place. I do, however, really enjoy the live version of 'Be True To Your School' on disc 5, if anything just for the Beach Boys trying to be cheerleaders!
But overall, a very recommended box, with a definite 5.
