is there going to be much left in the vault after MIC?

Entire albums in backing track and a cappella mix configuration. Just as they did with the Pet Sounds sessions.

They did an entire backing track disc of Pet Sounds? I'd love to hear that! I never did get the box set, as it was to expensive.

So I'm going to spend $145 on another multi disc set, anyway. Makes perfect logical sense, huh?

You can buy the PS Sessions box as MP3s for £25 now, or second-hand for under £20. It's no longer the essential purchase it was at first, because the stereo mixes are now widely available, but it's well worth getting at those prices.
And yes, it included stereo backing tracks of every song (except the two instrumentals, where it included "track minus lead instrument" versions) as well as a capella versions of all of the songs with vocals, and lots of very interesting alternate versions.

Cool, thanks for the info. I really need to get it one of these days. What exactly do you mean by "track minus lead instrument" versions?

[hypehat]

For instance, Pet Sounds the song is presented without the lead guitar overdub, and Let's Go Away For A While is presented without the strings.

Big Sur 4/4 is going to remain in the vaults. What a travesty. What an oversight. What a glaring omission.

And the finished BB versions of Holidays, Look, CIFOTM and DYLW. Overdub the missing vocals onto that while you're still alive, will ya, please, boys? It's not so hard to do.

I totally agree. Hire a quality hypnotist, get Brian and Van, a piano, a tape recorder and Al Jardine on stand by at Ocean Way. Derren Brown would be my choice of hypnotist. Al could overdub the Durrie Parks heroes acetate while we're at it and Mark could be on hand to re-edit H&V part 1 and 2.
That was easy. Let me make some phone calls.

You got the quotations seriously scrambled up, but a hypnotist may very well be the only possibility to get them to do it. Do your calls, please...

But let's say I wanted to buy the 16-track master for "This Whole World."  I think it should cost maybe 100 bucks or something.

That's one way of encouraging piracy, yeah.

Indeed.

Fine.  But those of us who think these are valuable will pay, and I'm certain that's a small number.  So it has to be priced high enough that a small handful of purchases will still make them a profit.

I would love it if an untapped vault was discovered...the computers containing the Pro-Tools program and various takes, tracks and outtakes for one of the band's best albums...Summer in Paradise!
