1. Baby baby is a stand-out, kinda Beatle-ish. Reminds me of something John Lennon could have recorded for his Rock n roll album. Apparently it's one of Dennis's efforts. A pity they didn't make a descent recording, like Sea cruise and Got to know the woman. I'd love to know if there are more _real_ rockers like this in the can. And during what sessions was this recorded?

2. A sessionography (or whatever it's called) would be nice, and some sessions boxes... 😗 But as Mr Desper pointed out elsewhere, you cannot completely rely on session sheets/notes.

3. Guess there's some dirty/naughty stuff that was "banned" from the box (and other boxes for that matter)... 😀 We have the "moaning stuff", but I believe there's more than that... 😛

4. I've heard the Unplugged 93 recordings, excellent! But I feel sad, because it'll be another 20 years till we (eventually) get an unplugged/live box... I'll be dead by then... 😢

"Baby baby":

My favorite from the box: "Baby baby"! Shows they were as good as the Beatles! However, the singing? Are they making fun of disabled people?
Too bad they didn't make a descent recording... and more rockers like this!!

"Behold the night":
My life is almost complete - I've heard the most beautiful song ever: "Behold the night". But oh how I wish the whole song would sound like the beginning of the song instead of wandering off...

I wonder if Mike & Co. will include any of Dennis's songs on the Feel flows world tour...

Who is that on 'baby baby'?

Why would they ruin such a good song with awful signing

Daryl Dragon, perchance? He has a co-writer credit, if the Wikipedia details are to be believed, and the song sounds very much to me like it was made up on the spot.

Speaking of writing credits, Awake is credited to Brian and David Sandler. Whatever became of Floyd Tucker?

Looking like all the tracks are just straight available for listen now on the Beach Boys official Youtube. Not listed, but searchable. Tempting not to just dive right in, but I will wait.

Can't wait...too long...

Wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!

Based on the snippets I have heard, there is no doubt in my mind that this set will smash a lot of preconceptions held towards the Beach Boys as being a "surf group".

I think this will do more to open them up to a new audience than the Smile Sessions ever did. And for those who know how much Smile means to me, that is a HUGE revelation.

Absolutely!

If they get enough airplay - and if they're able to manufacture/produce enough copies......  😔😞🎼🎹🥁🎸

That teaser of 'behold the night" is just beautiful

Where is this teaser that you speak of?

Wooooooooooow, soooooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to be able to download the mp3's PLUS order the book (physical or digital). But unfortunately not possible. Never play cd's or vinyl, always transfer to mp3. Don't get me wrong, been a fan and bought vinyl ever since 1965, but times have changed...

I've seen there's Hi-Res mp3 available. Any information on that? The quality compared to cd/vinyl?

There's an alternate mix of "Long promised road" "out there", in hd, you can clearly hear the instruments, and the vocals are crispy, that clocks in at 4:51. On the FF box set there are: the 2019 master, 3:32, a cappella, 4:00, live 1972, 4:14 and track/backing vocals, 3:38 versions. Did they miss out on that one? And is the rest of the SU album available in hd, like the "LPR" alternate mix - is it a fan mix?

2 things:
One, the date of that amazon link box isn't necessarily accurate, even if it is the box. That thing is just a placeholder for now, and anything can change about that;
Two, if the "machine is at full speed" ie. this box set is literally being manufactured, then the release date is before September.

Howie?
Stephen?

What I meant was I see a lot of selfishess - I want this, I want that. We could discuss forever till our heads turn blue. Sure, everyone's entitled to their opinion, but in the end, well, we get what we get. And there's nothing we can do about it.

I fully agree that it's sad Desper had no say. Sad news indeed, still nothing we can do anything about.

There's no doubt we get good value for our money. Anything "new" from the BB is welcome, and worth every penny.

It's funny though, w/all boots that have been released, there's hardly been any arguments or discussions. We have accepted them and thanked God we had some ear-pleasing stuff from "our" boys. Audiophiles or not.

I am thankful to have lived in the same period as the BB, and not in the 1700's 1200's or whatever.

Still happy for every little snippet that's released, legal or not, preferably legal. Long live the Beach Boys! They certainly made my life better...

I don't care about who mixes and different this and that. All this is that! As a long-time fan - 50 years+ - I'm just happy there is "new" material coming out, legally. Hopefully I'll stay alive, trying to avoid this damn corona, for many years. In the next few years we'll hopefully get to hear more from the best era in the BB history. So stop bashing, stop those silly meaningless discussions, and just be happy there is "new" material coming out at all! I'm happy for every little snippet that comes out. Wishing a Happy Easter to all BB fans and prominent guests of this board!

They will all be out when we're all dead - and no-one really cares... 😫😢

I'd love if someone could make an (mock-up) album - Songs for Frank (that weren't recorded for him - or perhaps both...) 😉

I remember seeing that stuff but I'm talking about other albums having deluxe box sets.  I recall a "Love You" one for sure.  May have even been created by someone else on this board...?

Judd made some really amazing mock-ups many years ago. I couldn't find the Love You set though - not sure if he did that, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

Wow, never heard of or seen before - still I consider myself a die-hard fan - ever since 1965...
Are they still available??

There's been talk about upcoming box sets - anyone know if they are in the works??

If you go to the Beach Boys' official site, all the show are credited to Mike Love, not The Beach Boys.
https://www.thebeachboys.com/events

Heard of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson - but who's that guy Mike Love??

(Pun intended...)

On another board there's been talk of some box set release on Amazon, but with no title, names or anything. Anyone?

About 10 years ago an interview between Nancy Sinatra and Brian took place on Sirius XM. Been looking everywhere, would love to hear it.

/b

Sounds exciting, but as usual with the Beach Boys, I believe it when I see it ...

I just wonder...Who are their target audience? Old fans or new - or both? Why not release the whole shebang while we're still alive!!?? Why not please the long-time fans instead of future generations who don't have a clue who the Beach Boys were? We've grown up together, enjoyed and supported the boys for - I believe many of us - 50 years or more. We've longed for new releases, we had some great moments, sometimes disappointed, but we're still here for the boys! And we've spent thousands of dollars and we're still prepared to spend more... Am I being selfish thinking that way? But when we, the long-time fans are dead it's too late....

They say no news is good news... Hmmmmm....
But hopefully we can Celebrate the news one day... 😁

And how did the FF snippets end up on Allmusic???

That was the way to keep everything from losing copyright in 2020 so they didn’t have to spoil the box by doing massive digital dumps.

I see, thanks. So that was an official thing. But the live set is another thing. Just don't understand how "they" - whoever it is - can/are able to put stuff like that on an _official_ channel...

How did it end up on the _official_ BB ch.?

Have they lost all control??

And how did the FF snippets end up on Allmusic???

The Beach Boys topic youtube channel just automatically uploads new releases by the band. It's happened plenty of other times with grey area live broadcast bootlegs.

And how do "they" find the material?? A robot that searches the net...or the archives of the record companies... for new material... ?? Sounds very strange...
