"Made in California" Box Set

[Steve Mayo]

bfd....what difference does is make when it does finally come out. meanwhile, the sun will rise each day.

What I'm saying is that Capitol's promise to release the box set "Later This Year"(I.E. 2012) and Mr.Doe's promise that it would be released in Nov.2012.........are apparently not to be.

Indeed, and never were.  Better watch your syntax, there.

I'm guessing this is the first time a record company ever released a project later than originally promised. As for my own, statement, it was made before certain parties took to dicking around with the track-listing. I've been wrong before. It's life. It happens and I have yet to be humiliated. Salient point is, as with The Smile Sessions, that the box will be released... and that the only person here wailing, weeping rending garments and rolling in ashes is the lamentably inept Cohen.

[SMiLE Brian]

What is the deal with the tracklist changes? This is actually a valid subtopic about the box.

[alanjames]

I really hope the Lovester didn't requested WIBNTLA to be dropped of the box instead of...original version of Daybreak?

[Andrew G. Doe]

No. "(WIBNT)LA" has been replaced by "Wrinkles".

[Disney Boy (1985)]

Haha! Made me choke on my Crunchy Nut Cornflakes that one...

Seriously though Andrew, please use whatever influence you have to make it as abundantly clear to the powers that be at Boxset HQ that a decent amount of unreleased Dennis material would really, really, really please a hell of a lot of the BB fanbase!

The thought of Mike or anyone else blocking the inclusion of Dennis tracks for whatever long-in-the-past grudges is disheartening to say the least...

Please let it not be so. Thanks.

The bottom line:Capitol Records and The Beach Boys have let down the fans. As for the proposed box set, they failed to deliver the goods.

Orrrrrrrr they didn't want the release to run concurrent with the Beatles box set.

[Mikie]

Capitol Records has never let me down.  They've been great!

'Cept when they deleted the Beach Boys catalogue in 1969 and I had to pay around 20 bucks apiece (or more) for the original albums.

Not so: until the box is officially cancelled, no-one has let down anyone.

We're comparing Apples & Oranges. The Beatles box is vinyl, aimed at participants in the vinyl revival fad. The Beach Boys box(if it is released) will be a compact disc product. These two products don't compete with each other. They are aimed at different markets.

Its september, no record company would release a giant box set before the holiday season. Why do you want to see releases canceled so badly?

well... yes....  until the day that would have been known as December 22nd

[tansen]

Exactly bgas. See, the reason why Phil is so upset is because if the box set is in fact postponed to January, nobody's gonna have the chance to listen to it due to the Mayan calendar and the world going under in December and all.

Right. It wouldn't surprise me if Phil actually believed in that too.

Phil, why do you keep declining to respond to the posters asking you to agree to buy us all a copy of the boxset when it's released, which presumably wont be a problem as it's, you know, never going to be released and all.
Your comments are really annoying (deliberately in my opinion), so if you are going to post on here at least reply and respond to questions, especially when they're being asked to you directly.

[PhilCohen]

Will the box set be released someday...possibly in 2013? Will Mike Love have a change of heart in 2013 and again record & tour with Brian, David & Al ? We don't know yet. But because each week brings us closer to the 2012 Christmas shopping season, it is appearing likely that there will be no Beach Boys "Commemorative CD box set" in 2012. How can you fans not feel disappointed by the non-release of the box set?

Oh, I stopped believing in Santa Claus many, many years ago. I can wait until January and beyond, if necessary.

That's it in a nutshell.  "you fans".  I know it's been asked before, but, as you've shown by this statement, you're not a BBs fan, so why do you even bother to post here?

I'm more upset about the Not scheduled/non-release of the BBs Love You Box Set, than a set that is temporarily delayed.
Oh , hey, join the family and show me some PROOF that it's not being released at all; then I can break down....

Can you read or what? Here it is again, underlined, in bold, coloured lettering. See if you can answer a question, yes, rather than replying to direct questioning with evasive posturing.

Please answer the question: are you going to buy us all a copy of the boxset when it's released, as you're so personally confident it never will be released? Failing that, will you leave the board as and when it's released as a penalty for all this nonsense?

Because, Phillipe, there are other things in life besides this Beach Boys box set. And, we know that there has been no definite cancellation, so it's just a situation of being patient. Capitol doesn't owe us anything. The Beach Boys don't really owe us anything further. We should be grateful to them for giving us so much product. We can only hope that we get more because we are greedy little bastards.

Think about it, kiddo, in the past year we've had the SMiLE Sessions, a world wide reunion tour of all original members, a new album (which came out on CD, digital download, and vinyl), two new greatest hits packages - three if you count the WalMart one, a documentary (with DVD release), plenty of online-exclusive footage of the band, and reissues of twelve(!) of their albums in mono AND stereo when possible. And I'm probably missing some stuff. That's a hell of a lot for one band in one year. Especially one that has been around for 50 years.

Give it a rest.

Phil, I would love to engage in rough intimate gay sex with you. In a form of role playing, I could be the pitcher (Capitol records) and you could be the catcher (be yourself, Phil Cohen) and I can f*** you for hours or weeks or days or months or years. Meet me tomorrow at 5:00 PM PST. I'll be the one at the corner of Hollywood and Vine wearing the assless chaps and leather cap.

I'm looking forward to it,
"Capitol"

[PhilCohen]

I've decided that I'm tired of this B.S.

There are plenty of other artists & record companies putting out excellent CD box sets in the next 60 days(or CD/Blu-Ray/DVD box sets), and those artists and record companies aren't playing games with the consumer. They've set release dates for the product, and revealed some or all the information concerning what the contents are. There's more than enough of those products to strain my budget, and so, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take the path of least resistance, the path of least hassle & agony......I'm going to buy the box sets by those artists.

Why go through any more agony over this proposed Beach Boys box set? It's been 10 months of "The Wall of Secrecy". The creators of this wall can take their Wall of Secrecy.....and shove it!

He's winding us up. Dude deliberately doesn't respond to anyone else's posts that address his issues/comments.
