Just going by the price in Euros zapped through an online currency converter. Pleeease don't haul me up on it when it comes out cheaper or more expenzive! :-)
I promise, Helper!
$214.00 is a little expensive, but for the limited edition set, I don't think they'll have a problem getting that. I'll be one of the suckers.........uh,
collectors
to pick one up.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

There were never any Duophonic covers printed up, were there? Just the mono, right?
No, wait! That Smile cover artwork on that web site advertizing the new Smile release I think may be legit! My bootleg 12" x 12" Smile artwork has the "Duophonic Stereo" designation at the top and my Frank Holmes signed artwork also has the "Duophonic" at the top. But I suspect the web site ad probably got the artwork for its ad off of Wikipedia or something else.
Here's hoping this new release will have ALL of Frank's original artwork with it.

I can see paying upwards of $200 for a Bear Family box set because those are generally ridiculous ten-disc, 100+-page hardcover book affairs... I would certainly not pay such amounts for a four-disc, 60-page hardcover book box set though. I'm sure, however, that the prices, like the release dates, are merely "estimates" and will be eminently more reasonable when actually divulged!

Indeed. Following a crappy economy and a lag in work I sadly won't be buying this set if it's $200+.
I can reasonably see this set going for $150, however $214?
4 discs a few vinyls and a book? No Thanks. If it's that price come late summer I'll just buy the 2 disc set.

Did I miss something or do all of these entries seem to concern the limited edition box rather than the double-CD? The latter would undoubtedly have its own unique catalog number. Makes one wonder if the two packages are being released simultaneously after all. Perhaps, the 2-CD set will come out later?
All releases - 2CD set, box and download - were going to be simultaneous, last I saw.
Wouldn't separate formats warrant separate catalogue numbers?
Some sites jumping the gun happens, but the discrepancy in dates is unsettling. Best to be conservative. A late July/August date?

Even if some of these prices are accurate, American fans don't necessarily need to worry. Europeans simply pay more for this sort of thing (sorry, Europeans!). The Pet Sounds Sessions box costs about 75% more at Amazon.de and Amazon.fr than it does on Amazon.com. If this thing does end up costing the equivalent of $150 to $200 in Europe, rest assured that it'll be available for $100-$120 in the US. And that's not that bad, right? I mean come on folks, this is the Smile Sessions box... the holy grail for BB fans. You can find a way to afford this. Beg. Borrow. Sell your watch. Eat macaroni & cheese for the next 3 months.

I didn't read all the posts in the other thread -- but I assume Linett's interview was posted and discussed to death...
http://www.billboard.com/#/features/beach-boys-engineer-talks-about-the-smile-1005071622.story
Anyway...with all the 'Boys participating in this, as Mark mentions...I can't imagine this not taking awhile to release/approve. Fall, definitely -- which I think is great timing. Plus, with all of them participating, I think it
really
lends cred to this being the "Beach Boys" lost SMiLE album. More so than "BWPS." (original material, notwithstanding, obviously.)
Money Quote from article: "
Smile" is one of the most bootlegged albums of all time. What will be new for the listener?
For most of them, the whole thing will be new.

This is just too surreal.

There ain't no way in hell I'm paying 212 bucks for a box set. When the choices are 1. pay 212 bucks, 2. download it for free, I think it's asking a bit of the fans to choose the 'right thing'. I need the 212 bucks a helluva lot more than anybody in the band does, it's almost disrespectful to ask that much.

I don't thik there were any Mono covers printed. There are Duophonic slicks with the GV GV GV and Stereo Slicks w/ and w/o the GV GV GV.
But if the new release has ALL of Frank's
original
artwork, what will he have left?

Is that pretty common to spend over a hundred bucks for a box set? I bought the pet sounds and the 40th anniversary sets used, but I always thought the price on those was more like 40-70 bucks. Even $100 seems pretty steep to me. I'll probably end up just buying the two disc set... unless it's like 50 bucks or whatever, lol. Maybe I'm getting cheap in my old age.
I'm sure it'll be a really high quality set, and they can charge whatever they want but it seems like it's gonna leave a lot of fans out in the cold.

Don't panic, Americans. Music is always MUCH cheaper in the USA than in Europe.

It would appear that, at least for now, all references to the Smile Sessions have been scrubbed from EMI-Norway's website.

Thanks Anders, smart action.
Suspect a well-informed joker?
Did they confirm/deny the catalogue number Anders? It' a useful Google tool, albeit potentially also misleading…

Nah, she didnt say anything about that in her email - however, she rather optimistically promised to come back asap
on correct date --- funny, though - that EMI Norway has removed all info - wonder if they received a call from overseas yesterday
after some Capitol executive had been reading the posts here --

Well, that rings true somehow - every time there's a major release, I'm away from home.

I'd question that on the grounds that Mike & Bruce are in Europe touring on that date and I'd expect some kind of band promo.

Here's the classified marketing plan for the release of SMiLE Boxset! For the 50th Beach Boys anniversary:
EMI releases Smile Box - Brian performs Gershwin
EMI releases Smile Box - Mike & Bruce performs classic jukebox hits (make sure NOT to play Heroes and Villains)
EMI releases Smile Box - Al performs yet another version of Honkin down the highway and California Saga
