Just took delivery of the full box set.
It really is a beautiful thing and well worth the money.
 Listening to the 45's at the moment, only one grumble so far. My heroes and villains single has a "vegetables" label on it. Was worried at 1st I'd have to send it back but it plays correctly.   The singles labels are great btw.  but not a great pressing on H&V pt1  it's pressed slightly off wonk if you know what I mean, a bit like my US pressing on "lovin feeling" which means it doesn't run at constant speed unless you can line it up Identically wonky on your turn table.
 
the other side is ok though, And it's v cool!!

I am waiting for the 5CD set to arrive - should be with me today or tomorrow - I am in the UK

In the meantime I got the 2CD set from iTunes and it includes the iTunes LP version which I have to say is marvellous - includes all the credits and a game of match the FH illustrations and all his work as well, the timeline.

Frankly it's delicious and a great addition to the SMiLE catalogue

Just heard Surf's up 1967 in full and this track alone is worth £16!!!!! Brian's Singing is IMHO even better than the 1966 demo!!!. It's also quite sad but joyful at the same time a beautiful track maybe the best demo I've heard ever!!! Ok CD2 is going onto my Ipod now then I will be listening for the next few hours and write up a review for here and facebook Smiley I'm too excited Smiley

You can cancel, if is not packed yet. If not, you can send the shipment back.

Go to "Mein Konto" --> "Meine Bestellungen" --> "Artikel zurückschicken"
You need a reason for sending back ("Grund der Rücksendung"), but they have a lot to select from:
- keinen Grund angeben (don't want to say reason)  Grin
- Gefällt mir nicht mehr (Don't like it anymore)
- Günstigeren Preis entdeckt (Found a better price)

You have a store called "Pet Sounds" in Stockholm? How cool is that?

Just got my Box set and 2 disc edition delivered from Amazon.co.uk!!!! I ordered the day it became available and only used super saver delivery.

I'm amazed that it is in one piece though as the box set was just loose inside a larger amazon box with only a tiny amount of paper to stop it moving about, and the 2 disc edition was underneath the box set, but somehow avoided being crushed!! Phew!

Here goes, I'm tearing of the wrapping now!!!

My box set has been languishing in a depot near Preston since 3.11am.  Hasn't moved since then.

I'm not that impressed with the 67 version of Surf's Up, I mean, don't get me wrong, it's really cool, and quite a curiosity, but I still think the 66 demo version is sweeter, and prefer Brian's singing on it. Again, I like the 67 version, but I guess I was expecting 'more'.

The new Surf's Up mix on the 'album' though, is finally the perfect version if you ask me. Further more, I just listened to the stereo mixes on the Vinyl, and man they are frikkin' awesome! Especially Vege-Tables and Surf's Up. Oh man, this release is just the best thing to have been released in decades!

Thanks a lot! That's great. I'll go buy it later today then  Cheesy *so excited*

I know, it's definitely the best record store in Sweden. "Pet Sounds" always has its own shelf, and I bet SMiLE will too  Smiley
They also have their own bar/club, Pet Sounds Bar, the most hip bar you can go to here in Stockholm. If you visit sometime, go there! It's right across the street of the record store.

Just heard the mono album on CD1 tracks 1-19 and had to stop to write down my thoughts. WOW 1-7 flows along so well for me much better than BWPS.  CIFTM is amazing, No hard edits anywhere on these mono tracks Surf's up is much Better too. Every track has something new to the ears even to some like myself and most of this board who got or heard all the bootlegs WILL hear something new!!!.Look at last sounds nice and clear and got background Vocals!!!!. Back to hearing the extra tracks on CD1. Please Beg, Steal, Or Borrow this Album NOW!!!!
