SMiLE Sessions box set!

[dmcguire70]

  I don't even see how people can argue that BWPS isn't the finished SMiLE;

Said as much in 04 myself. Tidal way of opinion heading your way Ron!

I think, and i hope i speak for all those PEOPLE, what they mean is BWPS -as good as it is ,could never measure up to a completely finished 1967 SMilE complete with BBs all at their peak vocally.

[Pretty Funky]

I made my comments in 04 something along the line that Brian and his handlers, plus the label all sold BWPS through the media as a now finished abum. Something like  "the SMiLE album was never completed in 67, this is the completed SMILE album with his new band".

New to the forum, here's my first post. Found this on the Hoffman forum. Hope it's not a hoax ...

[hypehat]

Looks rather fake to me.....

Find it hard to believe an actual art mockup from Capitol would leak on the internet.

[The Shift]

Ifv that's genuine, it looks the dog's bollocks* to me!!!

 



* A very good thing, btw

[Jonas]

Looks lovely, not sure whats up with the different styles of the CD's...but lovely nonetheless.

[The Radiant Radish]

I guess people have a lot of time on their hands to commit such fakery due to the drought in official tidbits.

We shall see

[The Shift]

They're based on period tape boxes/reels - one from Sunset, one from Gold Star, one from another I can't id from that pic.  And one Capitol release, one Brother Records.

Note also that there're 5 discs here not 4 as previously mentioned, which gives credence to the SpinCD ads in Mojo which also mention a DVD. Wonder what's on that?

Plus, gatefold sleeves for the vinyl LPs, a Vega-Tables (not Vegetables) pic sleeve 45rpm…  and the Frank Holmes pic on the box looks almost 3D somehow (though I don't think it is… must be the angle).

Fake or no (and I don't think it is) I'm IMPRESSED.

DROOOOOOL…


Course, it could be EarCandy…!

I see 5 cd's ,thought there were supposed to be 4.
FAIL!!!

You might be seeing 4 CDs and 1 DVD, as noted in earlier post.

Ok right you are ,but very nice photographic trickery nonetheless.

Legit. Note the CD 'labels' -  Capitol LP, Brother, Western, Gold Star and Sunset Sound... which indicates to me 5CDs, no DVD. Also check out the 45 sleeves - "H&V" and "Vegetables".

[The Radiant Radish]

If you look closely at the shop it is a cutaway with a bit of depth to it, which concurs with some whisperings from back in July. I think you would have to de a rather sad, Photoshop happy trickster to go to such lengths to stir things up.

Where do we form a que to pillory this Cohen person?

Ok seems like next Monday we might get that press release we've all  been waiting for.
Are you excited now AGD?

[Andrew G. Doe]

That strange, pathetic whimpering you hear ?

Dude called Cohen.

I've been excited for a while.

Could the Mods please un-ban Phil from this forum.
I would just love to witness him devour some humble pie.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Just had a 'closer look' - definitely 5CDs.

Seconded with unholy, even devilish, glee.

There are no words for this feeling!

What a thing to wake up to!

[hypehat]

Wow... so it's legit. That looks completely bitching. 

What's in the tape box thing? More vinyl?

[Cam Mott]

On the one hand, Brian may have destroyed tapes. I don't know. If he did destroy tapes I have a feeling he would mean masters and not work tapes.

On the other hand, maybe it is still BS and they found a whole stack of masters. Hoohay!

On the third hand, you all can think what you want about BWPS v. SMiLE and I'll think what I want and we'll still skip through life hand in hand.

I'm assuming Monday is the day when track listing and price will be announced.

I'm guessing that holds the CDs.
