That's odd; they're only asking 2.99 plus delivery when I looked

Right, cd's are no problem in the US - mine's on its way...It's just not that immediate gratification we Yanks so desperately need and want. Pass the ale, please...

It's £2.99 now but on Wednesday when it was released it was the dearer price. With delivery it was going to cost about £5.60! Needles to say I cancelled the order.

Makes sense to me. Now it's 2.99 with free shipping in the UK if you spend 10 pounds or more.

Why wouldn't you just download it from youtube / somewhere, then? That would cure the itch

Spend 10 pounds or more??? I have no pounds to spend!
Would it qualify if I ate at several all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants this week and *gained* 10 pounds instead?

Well to be fair, until a couple of years ago there were a bunch of videos that had 10-20 million views.

Finally got a chance to watch this and I am very impressed. And was moved to see BW singing the ending lines. A fine tribute to a classic song, to Brian, and it's sending money to charity. No nitpicking here. All good.

The BBC thing is nice. But Boogie Nights is better. It's the best God Only Knows music video that there will ever be.
I really love that movie.

I showed the video to my son and he told me that all over our small East Anglian town he's been hearing the original version of God Only Knows being played, presumably inspired by the charity video. Big thrills.

This version wasn't pleasing to my ears and I found the video hard to watch. I felt that Brian looked like a puppet and I could almost see a Eugene Landy-like hand in control of him. They sucked the soul right out of it all and some of the artists, from the way they sang, didn't seem familiar with the melody.
Also, reminds me how important Carl was to the original. The tune may hinge on his vocals because I've never heard another version I liked much.
However, if this makes a bunch of money for a charity in need then that's great.

The real question is, how much would Mike overhype his contributions regarding this tribute if the song had been "Wouldn't it Be Nice"?
I feel pretty certain of two things: If Mike legitimately is asked about the GOK video, he'll say it's cool but give a backhanded compliment belittling it in some fashion (for lack of his involvement), but if it were the EXACT same video with Mike singing a line, he'd have nothing bad to say about it at all.
No worries, no worries! The promo collage shoot was only the first step in retroactively making the appropriate changes. Got my audio editing program fired up to fix that portion, and then it's on to the video editing task.
But for now, oh to think what could have been:
you wicked, filthy person

That tune sings itself. And Carl did it first. Finder keepers.
Brian's instructions to Carl were just to carry the tune. Just don't do anything weird.
but\ all the artists in this new video want to make their mark as interpreters or do something stylish that reflects on themselves and not the tune itself.
So, Brian being present is a nice reminder of how the tune sounds without any affect. And how effective that is.
I don't get at all what you mean with the "gene landy" remarks. that's okay - I will be baffled, as well , by your further explanations of it, so, don't bother.

I think it's a tricky song to sing. Did you ever hear Bowie's version? He had to do it an octave lower.
I guess the only other version I like is the take Brian did, which, I guess, was before Carl's? But even that isn't quite as sweet.

I ordered mine here in the U.S from the Amazon U.K. site on October 12. It arrived today on the 22nd.
The price breakdown:
Grand Total: GBP 5.57
Payment Grand Total: USD 9.30 **
So for $9.30 I now have this little gem and a portion goes to charity. It's all good.
I've ordered from Amazon U.K. before and I've never had a problem. If you want it don't hesitate. Order it!

God Only Knows, Brian Wilson’s latest music video, is now most viewed on YouTube, if we compare all Beach Boys related tunes.
It took 17 days to get past Don’t Worry Baby which had about 8 million views.
Here’s proof:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=beach+boys&search_sort=video_view_count
To sum it up: today it has over 10.000 comments, about 100.000 likes and over 8 million views.

My musical conclusion is: very very good idea, a Pet Sounds tune arranged with SMiLE in mind, but it's too short, it sounds like an advertisement, which it is of course, for the BBC.
It could also be a teaser for more. Many comments say they miss stars like Adele or Paul McCartney, so I hope Brian will arrange the last missing verse, or give all of the remaining Beach Boys just a single word, or one big harmony chord (dream on...), that would make a great version someday.
My analytical conclusion is simple that the 'peoples choice' for 2014 is GOK as the best song on YouTube. People have TASTE! This video production is stunning, but the old GOK videos got many, many views anyway.
My all time faves are from Behind The Sounds:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVUBpzlELOg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCTVcNsJGX0
For your interest: these are the the top 15 songs (I put different versions together, all above 0.5 million views)
20 million views: GOK
16: Kokomo (?... never the
real
BW/BB sound)
13: DWB (that high, a surprise to me)
11: Good Vibes
10: SUSA
9: IGA
8: Barb
6: WIBN
4: C.Girls
3: Sloop
2: FFF
2: IMRoom
2: 409
2: ICHMusic
2: Forever (surprise to me (TV / Stamos link!))
