Pretty interesting video (Mark confirms that we will see MIC some time this year , not that I have had many doubts  ).

But what they really gotta do is make those Pro Tools session files that were transferred from the original 8 track available 

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Sounds amazing!

BTW: I'd pay $100 per album for multitracks, I would.

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Best new news in a while, I think.

[SMiLE Brian]

Good News!

[The Shift]

Really enjoyed this clip, many thanks indeed for the link. Every sense in my body says this box can't come soon enough… only my bank account disagrees!

[Pretty Funky]

Good news.

And no pitch for cash to fund it!

[Mikie]

If that's the final product for "Darlin'" at the end, it's going to sound great!   Wow - sounds so full, like Linett says.

[Sam_BFC]

Is it not the mix that has already appeared on 50 big ones?

[Paulos]

Thanks for posting, very cool. Now wondering when this was filmed, thinking probably tail end of last year?

[Mikie]

I just did an A-B comparison and in the video Carl's lead is much more prominant in the mix. Could be one of Linett's mixes. We'll probably get the 2012 stereo version in the MIC box (if it's included).

[Bicyclerider]

Since Mark has said there are too many tracks from Wild Honey that can't be mixed into stereo - which is Why it wasn't released with the other mono/stereo remasters - I expect the six or seven tracks that can be mixed to stereo might appear on the box.  Hopefully the Darlin remix will be less compressed and loud than on 50 Big Ones.

[lance]

That would satisfy me!

[The Shift]

Agree Mikie, what we heard in the clip sounded excellent. Hopes raised…

Tape dies quickly if not properly kept, and it's much cheaper (bad cheap) nowadays then it was back then

[Shady]

I'm counting the days!!

Thanks so much Mark, this box set is going to be incredible

[Awesoman]

Hmmmm...I dunno.

When was this video shot?  He talks about working on a box set for 2013, but then it immediately shows the cover to 50 Big Ones.  Why?  Then he proceeds to work on the stereo mix of "Darlin'", which was already released on said compilation.  No specific mention of Made In California; so it is a little unclear if he was referring to that elusive release or the already-released 50 Big Ones.

I had the the same initial reaction, but later in the video Mark mentions the Smile Sessions getting a grammy nomination. They weren't announced until December 6th of last year, so this must have been done at some point after that.

Yeah I suppose...but why was he working on "Darlin'" when it was already released last year?

[Wirestone]

The work on Darlin is probably just a demo using an already mixed track. He's mainly selling stuff.

"If we could still get tape that was reliable" What does he mean ? They don't make tape anymore ? New old stock chemically unstable or sumthin ?

There are currently two manufacturers: RMGI in Holland, and ATR in the US.  ATR is very high-output tape, so is not suitable for all purposes, and a lot of users have reported problems with the RMGI tape.

Some NOS works essentially like new in many cases, and some is in very bad, unusable condition. Depends more on tape type than storage conditions, though both are factors. NOS is probably not a viable option for a commercial studio.

[DonnyL]

Not true in either case.

[Mikie]

Yeah, it's the same tape of Darlin' that he was working on for 50 Big Ones.  The video is recent, but the tape was made earlier last year.  Sounds good though - seems like the vocal is more up front and the overall track a little punchier.  Darlin' is done. Seriously doubt he'd release another version of it other than what's already been released on 50 Big Ones.

[Joshilyn Hoisington]

Carl certainly could sing the f*** out of song, couldn't he?  Man.
