Wow, It would be awesome if these 60 songs would see release.

Well now. Interesting that they'd post a lengthy article on this, although there's no mention of a definite release. Could be some early promo for such a release?

I guess this will see the light of day, at some point. May take a year, may take 37 years.
Once this kind of press is unearthed public demand will rise and rise

Thanks for the link. Fascinating article. So AGD: as you're quoted in the piece, have you heard much of this stuff? Or perhaps we're familiar with much of it from boots?
Either way this sounds fascinating and I would definitely buy a collection of Brian's more experimental, unreleased, demo material entitled 'The Bedroom Tapes'. What's not to love?!
I suggest we mention The Bedroom Tapes as much as possible from now on in the hope that whoever's blocking such a release realises there is a market for it amongst the fans.

A physical tape recording of Rooftop Harry apparently does exist.

"L.A. Weekly recently was granted access to many of these never-before-heard tapes from 1968-1974 - almost 60 titles in all - currently stored at the Beach Boys' archive on Vanowen Street, near Bob Hope Airport in Burbank."
Two quick questions: Who was responsible for granting this access and, more importantly, why (now) was this access granted?

Utterly flabbergasted, since I work on the exact same street, probably a block away, from where the article states these tapes are currently being stored.

Would love to what solo song "Spark in the dark" turned to. Or is that common knowledge and I missed it?

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Agreed. I guarantee if The Bedroom Tapes were given a proper release it would sell like hotcakes among us hardcore fans.
The Beach Boys name will continue to sell endless copies of Greatest Hits compilations, but if they don't release the rarities that the current market is hungry for, they'll be losing out on a lot of $. I mean, right now they could release a 60 minute recording of Brian chewing on steak and many of us would buy it - such bountiful fandom will fizzle out in the future. NOW IS THE TIME CAPITOL/BRI/ETC.
Thanks for posting this, superunison.

Great news, but haven't you all heard this before? A carefully written piece from existent info. Does Brian Chidester post here? I guess I was expecting something more like a list of the 60 songs. Alan, Mark and others must have knowledge of these as well, right? But fine, put 'em out. I'll buy.
I pulled up a thread this morning wanting a DVD set. That's what I think Alan should focus on next.

I remember reading that Steve Desper said he erased a lot of stuff Brian recorded in this period, on Brian's orders. I guess some things were preserved after all.

According to AGD's site:
This song is not, as is often claimed, an early version of "Funky Pretty". However, having
started out sounding like "Loop De Loop", it contains a riff Brian reused over 20 years
later for "Chain Reaction Of Love".

I assume it has to do with building up public interest in BW. If more people are curious about the bedroom years, more people will get interested in his story and that will help sell the movie.

For all the boneheaded business moves the BBs have done throughout the last half century, this seems to be one of the smarter marketing maneuvers by them.
Seems like they're trying to cultivate another SMiLE-esque legend with these tapes in anticipation of the BW Biopic and book, and I hope they succeed in stirring up all kinds of interest.
