Such a wonderful video.

You would have to wonder if Mike was asked to send a message

Greatest songwriter of all time.

Love you Brian. Happy Birthday 🎂

Just arrived today. Really impressed with packaging.

Great liner notes by Howie, pictures are fantastic. What a beautiful pic of Carl and Dennis ❤️

That's not a bad cover

I just flat out don't like what has been done to a lot of these songs.

I'm glad I bought it and I'm thankful for all the hard work but this should not have replaced a pretty much perfect and massively successful compilation album

Pointless

Plus on amazon’s digital chart the little duece coupe lp is at #51.

And amazon is now out of stock of the version of pet sounds that has been charting the past few days. That has caused pet sounds to fall over a 100 places in amazon’s chart.

I expect nothing less from Capital records

Capital records has nothing to do about this. Amazon had the inventory. Amazon sold out. Even they didn’t know there would be a bigger demand for that lp. They have reordered more from Capital.

I stand by what I said even though I'm probably wrong on this specific point

But in general I don't like how Capitol handle the catalogue

This is a great set to add to my collection. Dispatched today, excited for it to arrive.

Thanks to all involved for your hard work as usual

I'm not quite sure what's going on with "let us go on this way"

Maybe I need to give it time

Can you tell us what the new mix of ‘I Get Around’ sounds like?

Also glad to see others are enjoying the new Marcella mix too. As I said from the get-go, I can totally see why some don’t like it (it is a very different sound). But man it scratches an itch I didn’t even know I had - really has a great punch to it.

Just a couple more hours and I’ll be able to listen to the whole set!

Quick listen just now.

Vocals sound great, drums are suspect

It's good to see Pet Sounds in there, I wonder if anything specific contributed to that bump in the charts.

In addition to Stranger Things…. Long Promised Road, the recent documentary about Brian, debuted on US public television’s American Masters series this week and is now available for streaming via PBS stations. Having it available over the air and streaming on PBS  brings the film to a huge audience that didn’t make it to the theater last summer. There’s been a fair amount of media coverage which likely caused some folks to watch the movie and buy some music.

Thanks for this info

Thanks for the info guitarfool. Stranger things and the Long Promised Road doc causing a surge in interest in the catalogue

Great Post Billy C. The Beach Boys are timeless, us hardcores are way over critical 😂

Sorry for the stupid thread but I noticed three different Beach Boys albums are in the top 50 of itunes at the moment. Also charting very high on amazon. Did I miss something?
Which albums would those be? Sounds of Summer and what else?

Two greatest hits and Pet Sounds

The usual suspects
64  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Why are the Beach Boys charting so high at the moment? on: June 16, 2022, 06:52:14 PM
Probably Stranger Things?

Must be that, I don't watch the show, had no idea they were on the soundtrack

The new "marcella" is incredible

Shocking news RIP  Sad
68  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Sounds of Summer 6LP Announced on: May 01, 2022, 08:28:03 AM
This is really not needed but of course I bought it anyway
69  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: So Tough/ Holland (Box?) Set on: May 01, 2022, 08:27:04 AM
This will be pretty mind blowing, no doubt about that

Did the Azoff sale happen in 2020 or 2021?

2021
74  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Beach Boys on forbes highest paid artists 2021 on: February 10, 2022, 06:36:49 PM
First of all, these guys are all plenty rich. And they got richer from the Iconic sale. They're all fine financially.

That being said, keep in mind they only sold a "controlling interest" in BRI to Iconic. Whatever amount Iconic paid, that is not the full valuation of BRI or the BB/BRI assets. The idea was that the BBs sold a "controlling interest" to Iconic both to get a substantial lump sum pay day, and also so that Iconic would make the decisions and remove the ridiculous BRI voting dynamic from the equation. With minority stakes still in the company, the BBs (and their estates) will also continue to generate revenue via their shares/stakes in the company.

Very good point

The figure was never revealed so its most likely guesswork from Forbes but if the Beach Boys actually did sell to Azoff for less than 100 million they need their heads checked
