Just curious...but has anyone actually seen physical copies of the new remasters in any actual stores??  I'm in Milwaukee...and I'll admit I haven't had much chance to really look around (two small children!)...but I've made an effort to look for them whenever I'm somewhere compact discs are sold and I've not seen a single copy.  I'll admit that I buy 98% of my music digitally these days...but something like this is a case where I'd want the physical recording in hand.  I'd prefer not to order from Amazon...as I'd rather support a local business...but so far...that has been fruitless.  I'll eventually just give in and order them online.

I have seen them at book stores like Barnes and Noble.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Me too, it was very cool to see Surf's Up on the front row of the "B" section a few weeks ago when I browsing around.

A lot of local shops can order them for you nowadays, just go in and ask.

It's been a few weeks now, but my Barnes & Noble had a nice wall display with all 12 CDs. I was quite surprised.

How long will it be before they hit the bargain bins?

Barnes & Noble and "nutty prices" go hand in hand.

I saw a lot of them in most Best Buy's around me. One BB I went to even had, like, 4 copies of Summer Days (and Nights!). Plus it had Sunflower, Surf's Up and several other of their less-popular albums.

In Atlanta:

Looks like whomever shipped these albums to the Best Buys in my area goofed, and sent all of them to the Alpharetta location, because there were an assload of those albums there.  No other Best Buy store had bothered to carry them. Also found a couple of the remasters at Criminal Records in Little Five Points (hipster capitol of the world), although you'll be spending a few dollars more for them.

It sounds like I need to look around a little more!  The local Best Buy did not have a single one.  I was in the local Barnes & Noble about a week ago...but I couldn't drag the little guy past the "toy area" without him throwing a fit...so I never got to the back of the store...which is where the music area is.  I'll try and make an effort to hunt around a little bit this weekend.  The Milwaukee area really suffers from a lack of good, independent record shops.  The Exclusive Company is the last real independent left.  I used to just about live there in the 1990s when I was a teenager...but like many Americans...I've gotten "lazy" as music has become so easy to obtain digitally.  Thinking about it now...there is something lost when you think about how it used to be...rushing out to the record shop as soon as it opened when a new record was released (or cutting class!).  Now...too often I just roll out of bed...open the laptop and load up Amazon.

I was at a good ol' record album show (I used to go to these religiously in the late 80's) a couple weeks ago and one of the dealers had most of the remasters, but he had marked them up WAY too high.  I thought Costco might have them, but so far, no. 

When The Beatles remasters came out in 2009, they had all of them at Target.  I couldn't find any BB at Target except the new 1 disc Greatest Hits and TWGMTR.

You just need to keep searching if you want to find them in person.  But Amazon (or other online) is how I buy CDs now.

What's a record shop?  I thought they went extinct? Grin  I have plenty of places I can go to if I want to (I'm in the Chicago area), but it's not worth the hassle of driving around.  I'm fine ordering them online now.

The local independent chain had them for $14.99 a pop.  Amazon has them for $9.99.
