SMiLE Sessions box set!

[SMiLE Brian]

Surf's up 1967 just blew my mind with its awesomeness.

I am curious what you find so awesome about it?

Just the piano and the quiet vocal from Brian that has an almost like a smiley smile feel to it. The wordless vocal at the end is amazing.

[hypehat]

Just checked my status on Amazon.co.uk (again) and the Box and 2cd set have despatched!!

 

Mine hasn't! I'll kill you, Amazon.

I shall not kill Amazon, as they just told me it's been dispatched, and will get here on monday! A day early!  

What state do you live in?

Er, London 

[Wirestone]

Digital copies? You know you can basically rip this thing once without damaging the discs (unless you're a total klutz), right? And you get to control the quality etc. that way? And also make CD-R copies if you so desire?

Of course. But it is certainly more convenient to have a place online you can download from directly.

Sadly, when downloaded from itunes 67 Surf's Up skips like crazy..

Good job Apple

Man.. when I have the box, I'll be way too busy listening to it.
Some of you folks run to the computer every 5 minutes to complain about something.
And it's not Apple's fault.  They don't rip the CDs themselves.
But I know that's pretty complicated to explain.

Er, London  

He thought you were from the states because you said getting the item on Monday is getting it a day early.

Well, Monday is the release date in the UK so you're not getting it a day early.

just heard '67 Surf's Up on youtube... it's awesome.

I was expecting to get it on tuesday, so I kinda am. That wasn't clear, I know, but forgive a guy for getting excited?

I say we recolonise them, damn yanks 

Let me get out my colonial uniform and musket.  Actually i think the UK would be a cool place to visit and hope to go there some time.

Just never go to Liverpool. I studied there for 4 years - not recommended

I want to visit London for a day, then maybe visit a coastal town and then travel up north in England or Scotland. Been hearing mixed reviews about Wales.

You have to go visit the Shropshire Hills.

Those hills are so beautiful, nice place to listen to the smile sessions.

Uh, wat.

Also, the songs don't sound like this on CD. Someone who works for Apple or iTunes or whatever f***ed up. That's how it is.

Got the email from Amazon saying it shipped, but delivery estimate is still Tuesday - this is going to be the longest 3 days of my life!

Which Amazon?

[Mike's Beard]

Amazon UK still haven't shipped mine, the bastards!!

[sidewinder572]

Pre ordered mine from Best Buy. Had $45.00 certificate. Picked fastest shipping. Still waiting for notice.

[Bill Tobelman]

Don't want to blow anybody's mind but my local independent record store (in the USA) had the goods on Wednesday (only 6 days before the official release).

The "Vega-Tables" vinyl 45 is better than the CD version!

[grooveblaster]

So this band was supposedly not cool enough for the hipsters in 1966? I don't know, Dennis is looking as cool as anyone back in the studio October 1966.

I just want to pose this question to all of you folks...BRI reads this board. Do you honestly think that they don't see all of the Please Make Pole Monkey Prick Motherf*ckers posts you're making in which you're asking for legally available material AND NOT logging your handles? Seriously?

I'm really not trying to be a prick, but the fan community was seemingly rolling around in the fetal position when this board was down for a week. Do you really want it to be down again, and longer at that?

Well, that was the most creative request I've seen yet!

Jokes -- I know. I'll be waiting til the 3rd or 4th when I'm due to get mine. Haven't caved and asked yet!

You think people would know better too.  Come on people chill or else we are going to have to migrate over to you know where to continue our conversations.

People can ask all they want. Those of you with the goods simply have to not supply them, and make them buy it themselves, or go hungry

[hypehat]

  Well now I feel like a tool

[Jason]

It's not even the fact that people HAVE to supply them. It's the fact that it's being done in the first place. More often than not, people (especially those in high places) add two and two and come up with five. That's life.

Besides, I REALLY don't want to end back up on the blueboard talking Smile with the folks on there who swear that Brian's career only includes Pet Sounds and TLOS.
