Feel Flows box set

[Joshilyn Hoisington]

So, who said march for this release? Do we even know if this project exists?

No one who would know, and yes.

So, who said march for this release? Do we even know if this project exists?

Why would it have ever been put out in March in the first place?  There has been no official press release of it yet.

This video just posted on Brian's YouTube account in which he talks (none too interestingly, it must be said) about Feel Flows (the song) seems like a good sign, no?

Not really. It's from the "Warmth of the sun"-podcast from around 2006.

So why post it on YouTube at this particular time?

[SBonilla]

If I were UMG, I'd bump the release to Christmas.

So why post it on YouTube at this particular time?

They've been posting snippets of Brian Wilson interviews about specific songs for the last two weeks. They've been all over the place in terms of timeline, early 1960s to 1970s. I wouldn't read too much into it. It's just the content machine churning out material for clicks.

Aren't they just from that Warmth of The Sun comp tie in podcast from 2007?

Any news on the status of this? it would really brighten up the lockdown.

Also wondering if with rumors of a 60th anniversary reunion of sorts, maybe a new compilation might come out, maybe with one or two archival tracks from late seventies. That'd be nice.

If it did have a release date it's most likely been postponed

Fall
Also, probably expect the copyright extensions to continue every year

The sooner the better I say! 

[The Nearest Faraway Place]

The sooner the better I say! 

It’s fall.

[The Nearest Faraway Place]

I’m not sure why no one wants to believe me, so I’m gonna go ahead and say it again. The set Will not come out any later than this fall. It could come out earlier, but there’s no chance of it being delayed until next year. i’ll give you three reasons why
1. Mark has said on a live stream that it’s already being scheduleed for this fall.
2. Any material from 1970 will no longer be owned by December 31 of this year. So basically, for this project to be completely copyrighted by BRI, all the material has to be released by December 31 of this year.
3. It won’t be released in the next couple months, mainly for obvious reasons.

So it will be released later this year. most likely in the fall.
If I were to make some predictions on what the date could be, here are my predictions:
August 28: to coincide with the 50th anniversary of SunFlower

November 20: this is the date back in 2015 that they chose to release the BB Party set
November 27: record store day
December 11: if it’s an online only copyright extension.
Obviously it’s possible that it could come out literally any day, but these are just my opinions on what is the most likely based on the past.
But don’t expect it within the next couple months. modern artists are delaying their albums because of the pandemic, because they’re worried about low album sales. These sets are not exactly Best sellers, but don’t expect their label to try to alienate customers who can’t go and buy it. They want the most amount of people who can buy it to buy it

Very late August seems like a VERY good guess, not only because it's the actual anniversary date, but because it's still technically (barely) during the summer, which makes it more of a Beach Boys "thing", and also it's as far as they can push the release out away from the timeline epicenter of the Coronavirus and have it still be a summer BBs release. I would tend to think it's too perfect a date for these multiple reasons for it to be released any other time in 2020 but then.

I never disagreed with any of this.  I haven't the faintest why so many people seem to think this thing is just going to magically pop up in the immediate future.  There has been no official announcement or press release for it yet; we only have Jardine's and Linett's word to go by.

I can see some digital teasers before fall but that's just my opinion. 

[thetojo]

I see this coming around Aug/Sep, being close to the actual anniversary date.

My next question would be, do people see this being followed by "less releasable" tracks, plus completists live recordings via digital releases in Dec?

 I'm thinking along the lines of 2017s "Sunshine Tomorrow" (physical release), followed by "Sunshine Tomorrow 2" and "Live Sunshine".

They could do that. That’s the most likely.
Or, they could do what they did back in 2011 with the Smile Sessions, where there is a 2 disk set with all the remixes and bonuses, then a 4 or 5 disk set with tons of live performances, studio outtakes, etc.
Personally, I am more inclined to think that your suggestion is probably going to be what happens. Around August or September, we get the actual box set, and then we get the digital only exclusives in December.
It’s all really confusing, especially with the pandemic, and the fact that I have no idea how they’re going to handle vinyl, seeing as the vinyl community is kind of in disarray at the moment.
Also, this kind of goes without saying, but I highly doubt that the official title is going to be Feel Flows.
If they choose a song title from either of these albums, it’s probably going to be more along the lines of Add Some Music to Your Day. Or, I had a kind of cool idea. They could call it Long Promised Road, just like the upcoming documentary, and kind of tie the two in together.
Or they could take the boring route, and literally just call the thing Sunflower and Surf's Up (Deluxe edition)

[thetojo]

I just had a thought that an apt title would be "Columnated Ruins Domino" 

More seriously, what about "Good with the Soul" - what do you think?

Isn't the line "Good for my soul"?  I'll admit, though, that I can't remember which song it's even from - all I can think of at the moment is, "You've got so much soul, you blow my mind!" from "Got To Know The Woman".
