Well this is new to me!

Not the rest of us sadly, but glad you found it

I see I'm late to the game, it even has its own thread. I guess I should start following other threads than this.

I made that mistake too!

I half-heartedly put MIC's entry up on hasitleaked.  I dunno what one's meant to do to make it become a 'thing'.

Furthermore, I've no idea if anyone will be altering us instantly as soon as it does leak, as it certainly would if it was an album by Vampire Weekend, etc.

[SonicVolcano]

I know MIC is coming out in about two weeks, but some samples now would be really welcome.

Remember how there was a very strict warning that the posting of any and all links leading to the leaked TSS torrents was a banable offence? I'm thinking that the same applies to MIC.

That's the same rules for the hasitleaked website.  It more about just saying "yup, there's yer thing leaked, y'know" and doesn't tell you where to find them.

I think we can wait.

It's so close now I'll give the previews a miss.

Things almost always hit what.cd first.

[Mooger Fooger]

OMG OMG!!! Samples are available.

First observations:
WIBNTLA sux
All the bonus live stuff: sux
All the hits: sux
All the B-sides: sux
All the booklet photos: sux
The 2012 mixes: sux
The original mixes: sux
Anything Smile related: sux
Anything non-Smile related: sux
Everything additional on the set: sux
Everything additional not on the set: sux
Battle Hymn of the Republic: the only true evidence of any talent that the BBs have ever recorded.

Does that now make me an official tried-and-true BB fan who loves them with all my heart??

BTW only joshing about the sucky samples.

Is this Dennis singing?

Edit: Never mind, Mike says so at the end.

Cool find Quzi. Thanks for sharing.

He almost sounded like Carl in certain parts. I wasn't quite sure who it was, either, until Mike said it.

Dig it! Not what i thought it would sound like, but still great. Really like that piano solo from Billy (and Dennis' shouts of "Go Billy!").

[Rich Panteluk]

I like it.  A bit slow though and it doesn't rock as hard as the superior Concert album version.  Will be nice to have in the collection, fer sure.

[SonicVolcano]

I love it. It's more laid-back, but definitely great!

[MarcellaHasDirtyFeet]

Fantastic. No one has ever said "That Al Jardine has a sexy, sultry voice," and that's exactly what Dennis brings to this song. My favorite version of Rhonda, now. Dennis' delivery is also very "on," but for a few missed words, maybe.

[SonicVolcano]

It's very similar to the Carnegie Hall 1972 version, this one.

[Mikie]

This is great. Nice bluesy easy-goin' rendition. Dennis and Hinsche cook on this. No guitars on the bridge, just flat out good piano playing by Billy. Wouldn't it be something if the whole '73 "In Concert" sounded this clear? Man, they should release this whole damn concert or pieces of this and others from this era. My favorite years as a fan.

And did I hear Dennis call out Daryl Dragon's name at the end or am I hearing things?

[tansen]

What a horrible version of Help me Rhonda. Great sound quality, though.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Love it. LOVE IT. This is really really great. That solo is amazing. and Dennis' "Ahhhhhhhhhh" during the choruses is AMAZING!

[Sheriff John Stone]

I hardly recognized Dennis! But it was great. I think I prefer it to the version released on In Concert.

Everything Mikie said (but younger)!
