"Made in California" Box Set

[seltaeb1012002]

Was just thinking.. a 10-12 minute vocals only track, like the one on TSS, only spanning their entire career would be pretty incredible.

Haha, true!

In fairness, at the time of the GV box, I personally knew casual fans who became serious fans on the basis of an impulse buy of that set. But it simply isn' that way any more, sadly. The era of the mass purchase of CD boxes is long over.

I was one of those fans

There ya go.

I was too. I checked it out of a public library and that's why I'm here today.

That's different, though.

Not really. Checking it out of the library was definitely an impulse action, as I hadn't ever heard anything but the hits. I did go on to buy it for real within a month or two.

I listened to BWPS and became interested in hearing the Beach Boys catalog and went to the library with the interest of finding The GV box set after hearing it had parts of the original Smile.

Still. You didn't say, "Hey, I like a couple songs by these guys, how much is this box set? 50 bones? Cool, let's do it," which is more along the lines of what I meant. Nothin' that crazy about checking out the box set for free at the library.

For the love of God, why am I always the last person on here to know about these things!!!

[Waspinators]

It's a day til November, how do we STILL not have any real info on this thing?

Not gonna lie. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything yet. I would have to imagine we will hear something in November though. I hope.

They must have seriously "f***ed up" the track list

[Awesoman]

Here's hoping this thing doesn't get canceled.

[davywheatdyke]

Maybe they have been persuaded that 6 discs won't cut it. I am hoping that the solution to any disagreements about track lists is to fling in more discs full of goodies.... I hope that isvwhat is going on, I am losing the will to live waiting on this...

Uh... this is The Beach Boys - take an inspired guess.

[The Shift]

Maybe the box is being expanded, a la TSS.

In these days of super-delux packages, it was surprising that there was no visual content … perhaps they're shovelling a DVD or two into the deal.

Hopefully some vinyl too.

The super limited edition Merchdirect package at the cost of $999,999.99 (plus shipping), which contains the deeds and rights to Al Jardine has apparently run into some kind of legal difficulty.

Good advice. Being historically informed by the proceedings re: TSS, I will stalk mr. Al Sardine intensely in the upcoming weeks. Google Streetview, hidden mics, and a couple of drones will follow him everywhere, and I will inform you lot here of his every utterance, CDRs played normally and in reverse. The Don has ways to find out.

I am in awe of your optimism, however misplaced it may possibly be.

A man has to have hope! As long as they include the Beach Boys' version of Surf City, I don't mind…

    Al Jardine – every home should have one!

This sad thread has made me sad. 

[The Heartical Don]

This sad thread has made me sad. 

That is only logical. Sad threads usually don't make people happy.

Apart from Phil Cohen, that is.
