MiC on Spotify now

[SonicVolcano]

The urge to listen to MiC right now is huge, but I rather wait for my copy to arrive.

Dilemma

Also, lots of tracks have 'remastered 2012/2013' in the tag. For example Sail on Sailor, Trader etc.

Holy Cow, that's true!!

But what happened to Back Home? It's missing for me

[buddhahat]

Thanks for the heads up, Sonicvolcano but it's not turning up for me. Is this just in the states? Do you have a link please?

Edit: Here's the album link, but won't work in US/UK I'm afraid, possibly nowhere but Finland.

Works for me via the link... but roughly 75% of the tracks are unplayable, and that includes roughly 99.7% of the goodies.

PS: it's the 'wrong' - i.e. album - mix of "California".

PPS: stereo mix of "WDFFIL" but without the Summer Love Songs intro... plus a shitload of reverb. Castanets up way too high. Hopefully this is down to Spotify...

[KokoNO]

Where the hell is the Original Long Mono version of Lonely Sea from? Definitely has a longer intro...only thing that plays of interest to me (since the rest is all just recent remasters that work for those of us in the US).

I know it's not a boxed set exclusive or anything, but I certainly like this version.

Those tracks work for me too, but I assume they're all available elsewhere on Spotify and that everything unique to this new set is unavailable to UK/US residents. Or are some of these available tracks new?

[KokoNO]

They're more than likely linked to the same old tracks. A lot of these streaming services link to the same copies in order for their in-house charts to be accurate. Like, if there's five versions of a Katy Perry song that are identical but are on different releases, the streaming service (or download service) would want to link to the same file so that the song's totals won't be split up in the charts.

Basically, Spotify is simply letting us listen to the duplicates that are already out there. And not even all of those.

Worst is when some other services I used would just link to ONE track even if there were alternate versions. For example, imagine if only the single mix of Help Me, Rhonda was linked to while you were playing Today!....it was rather frustrating.

[Andrew G. Doe]

No - the mix of "WDFFIL" is stereo, but lacks the intro included on SLS. Can't believe they'd do that for just one track.

(Just checked - the version on SLS on Spotify UK has the intro)

Playable tracks by disc:

1 - 24 of 34
2 - 17 of 28
3 - 7 of 31
4 - 4 of 25
5 - 2 of 25
6 - 1 of 31

Total - 55 of 174, roughly 32%.

I can play them all here, beside - for some reason - Back Home in disc 1   

[Andrew G. Doe]

Bummer - that's the best track on the WHOLE BOX !

Same here.

Agh! How??

I know! I'm so pissed right now!

Fine time to be without proper internet until Monday.

[humanoidboogie]

I can't play a single song from the box. The few songs that are playable are only linked to other, earlier releases of the same material.

(And I hate that copyright loophole. There are so many versions of the Surfin' Safari album on Spotify that you'll get dizzy.  )

[Gohi]

None of the songs play for me so I'm guessing the same would be true for you. Never fear.

Don't worry man, I'll make my speakers extra loud so you can hear it too.

Great minds think alike! It's working!!!!

I'm gonna greet until I am able to listen to this in mp3 or FLAC or AAC format, but I dunno how that's ever gonna happen.

Thanks, I grabbed it from the other thread.  Dreaming of the entire box set now

"Not available in the US"
