When do you think the BB official store will start shipping? Also some people are paying almost $200 for the 5 CD on eBay...

Also is there any chance for a release of the tracks in the vaults from before the current copyright-like "On Top of Ol Smoky" "How Deep is The Ocean" and things like that?"

Thanks!

Ol' Smokey doesn't exist - never existed in the first place. It was jammed on at John Phillips' house. Didn't go within several miles of a recording studio.

How Deep is the Ocean - if there's ever an opportunity to circle back around to a 1965 archival release, I'd assume.

The reason I ask about Ol' Smokey is, on Wikipedia it says it was recorded after a Vega-tables session on April 11, 1967.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone knows where most/all of the BB bootlegs come from or how they got "leaked"? Also is there any chance for a release of the tracks in the vaults from before the current copyright-like "On Top of Ol Smoky" "How Deep is The Ocean" and things like that?"

Thanks!

So I pre-ordered the 4 LP colored vinyl, are there any differences from the CD version? Also, I ordered from the BB website it says it going to ship on July 30th, I thought pre-ordering you'd get it the day of, but will probably have to wait until sometime in August right?

Does anyone know if theres more information on this interview with Derek Taylor? On April 29, Taylor announced in Disc & Music Echo that "All the 12 songs for the new Beach Boys album (Smile) are completed and ... there are plans to release the album on a rush-schedule any moment." I wonder if Taylor was lying or just buying time or something or was Smile really "complete" at this point? So many questions!!

Ohh... Well do you think that is the one mentioned in interviews and what not?

I dont know if this has been addressed yet but on the Child is the Father of the Man Original 1966 mix from the Wake the World boxset, is that the Great Shape acetate that has only been rumored about at the end? As in the more energetic one mentioned but never released. It sounds very very similar to Great Shape, Id love to know your thoughts!
