Most definitely, go Blu-ray. Heck, even if you don't have a BD player, get the Blu-ray for the eventuality that you might and just use the certificate to download a HD digital copy of the film from iTunes, Google Play or Amazon. BD players are so cheap these days anyway, and the upscale job done on most well compressed DVDs looks good enough that it make sense to use this as a catalyst to start collecting Blu-rays, if you haven't already.
Or hell, just buy both. With the BD you get an HD digital copy for like $13 bucks and a DVD for less than $10 bucks. That's still cheaper than the BD MSRP.

Quick glance at the Capitol Records site shows two soundtrack releases from the last few years: "House of Lies" and "This Is 40". Good thing for "Love & Mercy" is that all of the songs utilized by Atticus Ross are owned by UME/Capitol. Quite a few of the songs used in the film are owned by UME so they could, theoretically, be easy to include ("Nowhere to Run" or "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me", for example). Still others, while maybe being under license by UME, wouldn't necessarily need to be included. Songs that weren't really in the foreground of their respective scenes. Anything heard at the car dealership, for example. I noticed the title correction on both Amazon and B&N, now "Music From Love & Mercy" as mentioned previously. I don't find that alarming necessarily. This is a unique situation where the actual 'film score' (80-90% of it, according to Ross) is made up of source material. One bonus to the soundtrack not just being solely a 'film score' would be the possible inclusion of isolated vocals like the one's found in the "Good Vibrations" scenes. Because there is live music being played by the in-film studio musicians along with actual backing track, along with isolated vocals..it would be difficult sure, but would be thrilling if that was included. I don't think those isolated vocals have ever been released, what an awesome time for that! Also, the splendid version of "Love & Mercy" from the 2000s that closes the film, the source of which I still cannot find. And how could I forget the last little easter egg to fans at the closing of the credits from the "Good Vibrations" sessions. The film is filled with music, but I can see how compiling this soundtrack must've been a nightmare. Anyway, worth mentioning Soundtrack.net has two listings for the film. One for the films' soundtrack, previously posted in this thread, and another for the soundtrack release: http://www.soundtrack.net/album/love-and-mercy/. No info yet, same as the other outlets. Hopefully soon!

I know where you are coming from. However, your posts when taken literally almost seem like you are rooting for this to be wrong so you can say "See, I told you so!"
I'm just passing along information as I find it on the web. And I hope the release comes out as planned. There.

Just to be clear, when I posted the link to Soundtrack.net ( http://www.soundtrack.net/movie/love-and-mercy/) I was just pointing out that they had listed all of the contents from the Press Kit, of the films' soundtrack, and it was much easier to read that listing. Not that this full listing would eventually become the soundtrack album. It's cool now though that they also list the release of the physical soundtrack, linking back to Amazon I presume. Didn't check. I can only guess but surely we'll see full details of the soundtrack release in the next couple of weeks or so? I'm checking daily, who am I kidding, multiple times a day. Since we seem to now be speculating about what will be included on the soundtrack album, I'll join in. The Atticus Ross score is truly about 15-20 minutes worth of actual music. Unless there are slightly extended versions of some of the collages, which there probably are for at least some of them. But that still doesn't flesh out a complete CD or digital release. I'm going to just guess that if the music is licensed by UME then it will probably be on the soundtrack. I hope some of the music from in studio, the "live" versions with the musicians are included. But those could be problematic because of dialogue bleeding in. Just guessing. But, bottom line, I would put money on at least all of Atticus Ross' work being included.

So JCM,
I'm curious -- is your theory that Mike Love's camp (can't do the cutesy name spell, sorry) had nothing to do with (at least) the soundtrack's delay only have to do with Roadside Attractions' recent soundtracks corresponding with their DVD releases OR from your conversations with numerous people involved in the film, the Beach Boys, the soundtrack?
Or is it a combination of both?
Obviously I have no connections to anyone, nor do not claim to. I only know what I have read, that a soundtrack would come out (Billboard, last September and several times since) and comments from the parties involved (Bill Pohlad, Oren Moverman) in interviews. I'm not privy to any "inside" information. If you know something that's fine, definitely not trying to step on anyone's toes.

I recall the interview from early June where Bill Pohlad said 'we’re working on it now, there are complications because there are bits of songs from different eras, and it should be out soon after the film', or something like that.
Just trying to stick with what is known, rather than what is not known. Opinions are fine and I have mine too, quite frankly all I care about is that the thing is finally come out. That's what matters most to me.

Amazon doesn't have a release date on its page anymore. And the B&N page is skimpy at best.
I noticed Monday night on my Amazon app that the release date wasn't there. If you go to the actual web, via an actual web browser, it has the same listing that has been there Monday. B&N actually has more info than the Amazon page has, specifically the UPC code. Last night, I did a quick chat with Amazon customer service and inquired about the listing. I was told that these types of listings come directly from the source provider, in this case the label. So it is as "official" as you can get, at this point, I think. And, count me as someone that thinks maybe this was the plan all along. That is, to release the soundtrack at the same time as the BD/DVD. That has been the pattern with other recent Roadside Attractions films if you look at the release dates; clearly this doesn't deviate from their recent norm. Basically, I don't think Myke Luhv has anything to do with he delay.

I would have loved Noah Lennox recording with Brian Wilson. That would have been a mindf***. That might actually sound like...if Atticus Ross was given Beach Boys multi-tracks to make mash-ups. Which itself is pretty heavenly. If I'm not mistaken, according to Melinda, their children made the suggestions about the guest artists on NPP. I didn't get the impression that Brian was very much involved in selecting the guest artists. And that's fine, he doesn't have to be involved with that. He's Brian Freaking Wilson.

That has been on iTunes since early July. Just someones idea of a "Soundtrack Cover Album". Must be a new genre.
Luckily, that release has zero to do with the actual LOVE & MERCY Soundtrack that is due on September 18th.
Well, it's got the same name, so it has Sth to do with the actual one I'm sure I share the same name with many people but they have nothing to do with me, personally. Just making the point so no one scrolling through this thread confuses things. At any rate, for those interested, Barnes & Noble has the listing on their site as well. And you can actually pre-order there. Amazon hasn't given the option yet to pre-order. And for anyone keeping score at home, the UPC is 0602547507976. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/love-mercy/28959332?ean=0602547507976Hoping for cover art and track-listing soon.
