would be nice to hear a stereo version of "Sounds of Free" as that doesn't appear to have one... Dae?

Don't know about anyone else, but the "Rooftop Harry" track has me excited, I wonder how complete it is..?

Just as a side note, Joe Thomas did a excellent job producing the latest Chicago CD... very worthwhile recording.

It’s not that big of a deal. There will be some sort of release this year. It got people talking though lol

Holding you to a release date Billy 

Oh wow... heard the tracks from the soundtrack................................one-take style vocals from Brian instead of the professional leads of the Gerswhin or Disney records.... no one wants to tell him that he needs to do another take... sloppy and full of slurring... he even at his age could do so much better... 

How about the demo recording of "Midnights Another Day" that first showed up on Brian's website? It just had backing vocals from Brian and Scott on it... Any alleged demo that you can find on the web now is not as it has the bandmates backing vocals...  Now that original demo to I'd like to find. 

If I see anything disappointing here it would be "Sound of Free" 1970 single mix 2019 master... was really hoping we would get a stereo version of this, even if they had to create one using today's tech. otherwise, pretty happy with what I'm seeing
 

Preordered for $152 Canadian with taxes all in  Grin


same here!

imagine a nice clean live version of "looking at Tomorrow" like they did in 1983...

I always loved my original copy of Sunflower ( the European version) with mono Cottonfields as the opener... a wonderful sounding mix. Is that the same Spatializer(ish) mix as the US version?  If it is, I must say that it's still the best version I've ever heard. The two different CD reissues don't hold up to it very well at all... (hissssss)

"One Good Reason" was the Huey Lewis and the News formula before Huey Lewis!  (quick, call the lawyers!! lol)

liked it... well done 

 
Much, Much, better version of "Waves of Love".  stripped back from the heavy-handed, over-cooked, previous version, it now sounds like a light, poppy, love song and is not drowning in 500 redubs of odd background noise.  That's a keeper now. Miss the Carl, but it is not needed.

wasn't there a cd of Al with his two sons that was supposed to be out 15 years ago? Seem to remember talk about that long before Postcards...

I always thought that Ricci sounded a lot like Nick Kershaw, In fact, any time Nick's "Wouldn't It Be Good" comes on the radio I think of Ricci.  I always enjoyed Beached, it was a decent lp.
 

On Amazon Prime there is a live album entitled "It's About Time" with 18.12.2020 release date.

Do you have a link to that?? I checked, and the only recent thing I'm seeing is that Christmas With The Beach Boys title...

terrible sound, the boot I owned 20 + years ago...

always found it interesting that a few years later Glen Campbell had a minor hit called Sunflower, At that time I did look to see if there was a Beach Boy connection, but other than the obvious, there wasn't. 

Hoping all this quiet now will be followed by something causing great joy!

Thank Goodness!  Maybe 2020 won't be a total bust!

Note for, Hey Jude

Yes, I did miss that post of Howies concerning Dennis's material. I consider him credible of course.

HeyJude,
be cool man, after this many pages it's easy to get in skim mode, and maybe I have. My question is still based on

" Subsequently, and *separately*, an issue regarding the inclusion/removal of Dennis material has come up"

where is this coming from?? My point is I can't find a source for this that seems credible,

It just seems to be board member speculation... whats the source? (please)


cheerds
Doc Smiley

as far as Dennis's material has to be put out before year-end to escape public domain, that would mean ANYTHING on the box that's unreleased and not an alternate version, not just Dennis's stuff... nowhere has anyone said that they want to take Dennis's stuff off the box, just that Stamos is aware of the box... the conclusion that he would be partial to removing Dennis material is unfounded, and frankly a little hateful.


FREE FEEL FLOWS   !!!!

The “original cause of the holdup” and the “inclusion of Dennis material” are two separate issues. The issue with Dennis’material is a recently developed roadblock.  HeyJude explains this every page or so...

Does the whole "Dennis material" issue have "any" basis other than speculation?  Didn't that come up only because they say that 26 minutes of his early aborted solo release is included in the box?  They say that the material in the box is NOT the issue, so I think this is a completely needless worry.

sorry for the repeating... the message board doesn't like me this evening....

Now maybe I'm simplifying this too much, but what if the delay is something as simple as Mike holding back the release until the pandemic is over.
   He can tour then with the release to support? As a man fairly competent in business, could an argument be made that the Beach Boys would make their return tour from the pandemic a Feel Flows Tour?

kind of makes sense considering all the work already done...
