The "Spring" CD was released by See For Miles in 1989, but is very hard to find these days. Your best bet is second hand stores or eBay.

I've seen lots of copies of the Flame's LP, so that one shouldn't be very hard to find. I believe there are several needle-drops doing the rounds as well...

Wikipedia and the twofer booklet says September 5, 1967.
AllMusic says September 11, 1967.
Keith Badman says September 18, 1967.

 Huh

I'm hoping for lossless and/or "official bootlegs" via mail order.....

I really, really, REALLY hope there will be "real" silver CD's for sale through the web site, just like Experience Hendrix/Dagger Records. A couple of releases each year. That would be fantastic!

What's on the SOT Source Tape?  Anything that didn't make the box?

I haven't listened to the entire disc yet, but here are the liner notes for the SOT Source Tape.

The Sea Of Tunes  series of Beach Boys bootleg CD's hit the collectors market by storm in the late 1990s. Never before had the casual fan had such an inside perspective on the process that built the Beach Boys biggest hits. These landmark releases allowed fans to be flies on the wall of the studios where Brian Wilson called the shots. No title was more anticipated than the legendary SMiLE sessions; whereas other Sea Of Tunes  releases gave fans a different perspective on an already fully realised album, the SMiLE box set did more: it offered clues and tantalising keys to the ultimate puzzle that is the Beach Boys' most ambitious and elusive work. Today, oddities such as the "Rock Me, Henry" version of Wonderful recorded in January, the early versions of Wind Chimes and Child Is Father Of The Man, and the mysterious Vega Tables  argument session are firmly etched in the SMiLE legend, but before 1999, no one could have imagined their existence. No one, that is, except the lucky few who happened to score a copy of one of the exclusive tapes that made the rounds prior to the bootleg release. The music on this CD is taken from one of those tapes. Most of it has now been made obsolete by the cleaner, more comprehensive Sea Of Tunes box set, but nevertheless it is interesting to hear it in this context. And, if you listen closely, you just might hear a few things you've never heard before; for example, takes 8 - 10 of Fire, extra takes of Child Is Father Of The Man  and Wonderful, a session excerpt from Friday Night / I Wanna Be Around, and the complete backing track to Old Master Painter / You Are My Sunshine.

So what tunes from this set of boots are available in lossless quality?

That pretty much sums up my question. I mean, all this stuff must have come from somewhere...

Oh, and thanks for the link DJ M. Lots of great stuff to read! *bookmark*

I just got the SOT source tape last week (as FLAC files). The package includes scans of the artwork and it looks like a release and not a fan-made item. I believe Secret Smile is a mp3-only 'release'.

Yeah, I got the SOT Source Tape about a week ago as well, and the catalogue number ('CMYK'-something) is in the same style as the double CD version of 'Get The Boot', meaning both of these releases should exist as "real" releases.
182  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Secret Smile / Get The Boot / Psychedelic Sounds / Smile SOT Source Tape on: May 15, 2006, 01:02:26 AM
Does anyone have any info on these releases? I have the 1 disc version of 'Get The Boot' (also referred to as the "convention CD" on some sites - what "convention", by the way?) and the 'Secret Smile' set as mp3's. I did a quick check of my 'Get The Boot' CD and it turned out that only 3 or 4 tracks out of 25 were lossless. Are all circulating copies of this material in lossy format? Are these all fan created CDR's? What about the 'Smile - SOT Source Tape'? Is this a fan release?

Lots of questions, I know, but I'd love to know more about these discs...

Hopefully he'll fold the booklet before shipping. That'll save some postage...

Brian talks at fairly great length about "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a 1976 interiew with Circus magazine.
I'd have to dig to find it.  Can't remember if he said it "scared" him, but if he did, he meant it in a competitive kind way.  I remember he said something like "They went right in the studio and just freaked out!". 

C-Man

ANy luck with finding that article yet?  Wink

Wow! This album amazes me no end. I've tried to avoid it for more than 10 years, but finally "borrowed" a copy. Once again: wow!

It's probably one of the worst things I've heard. Ever.

The sterile ProTools production.
The processed vocals.
Mike Love.
The lyrics.
The music.
The cover art.
Mike Love.
The mechanical, headache inducing drums.
Mike Love.

WOW!
