Feel Flows box set

[BeachBoysCovers]

And once again, it must be asked, where is John Stamos in all of this?

[Steve Latshaw]

<<Thank you Howie -
but are you sure that the delay isn't a consequence of Mike Love having rewritten the booklet notes, in secret and in the last minutes? This kind of thing does happen sometimes, I was told.
It also explains the gap between online and physical release dates.>>

I would think, coming from Howie, "..nothing untoward, weird or sinister..." means just that.  Nothing untoward, weird or sinister.

No reason to question him further.

Take his word for it. And relax.

Oh, Steve, I was writing in jest here... referring of course to stories from 1996 and 1997.

I don't think Howie wasn't entirely sure or serious.

Thanks for commenting anyway.

No, it mustn't.

That’s a pretty odd choice to promote the set ... a 15 Big Ones-era live track w the horns, etc? Not ‘69-‘71 era, and not really one of their better live performances or periods for live shows either IMO.

Maybe their pushing the release date back in order to change the cover art.

Maybe they're pushing it back to coincide with some massive announcement of the foreshadowed 60th anniversary stuff.

So thankful to all for the hard work and I can't wait to get my copies...

But... what a long, strange and ridiculous trip this has been

With this band it could never be anything less

How true.

Did I ever think, at age 15 (when I truly became the aficionado that I still am), that I'd be here, and be reading about the Feel Flows set, and the 60th anniversary of the Beach Boys?

That was 47 years ago

Preparing for filming another season of Big Shot maybe?

Conversations like this one are of the utmost importance.

If you happen to like Monty Python, that is.

[OK... I'll bite]

"That was never five minutes just now!!!!!"

[delsboy]

Feel Flows delayed till 8-26, what gives.

[as1972]

Howie Edelson has stated this much. People are speculating manufacturing delays or whatever.

I am sorry I didn't see that, I have diabetic eye problems, hope you are not made at me for not being aware like you.

[Bedroom Tapes]

Covid has caused a lot of physical media manufacturing delays from my experience.

[UEF]

Hence the long delays and absence of stock on Amazon. Looks like they were onto something.

I thought it seemed a bit soon from the announcement.

[guitarfool2002]

FYI: The "Feel Flows Delayed" topic was merged into the existing "Feel Flows" topic.

Covid has caused a lot of physical media manufacturing delays from my experience.

Yeah, warehouses in general haven't recovered. There's huge discrepancies between demand and supply right now. I work for Starbucks and we run out of product so quickly and when we get a supply shipment, we have no idea if we're going to get everything we need. And I think the combination of low pay, poor working conditions, and lack of good healthcare has caused a shortage in warehouse employees too.

[debonbon]

Is the delay on physical only?

[Rocker]

I have to come back to that live version of "Susie Cincinnati" (is that how you spell it....?). I see the guitar and to a lesser extent the lead vocal have that strange echo or reverb sound that was used so heavily on the 70s live tracks of "Made in California". Was that the way the Beach Boys used it for those shows? I have to say that it really takes the pleasure out of "It's about Time" and "Wild Honey" from MiC imo. It's not as bad on "Susie ..." but I hope they keep it that way for the other live tracks.

[as1972]

Is the delay on physical only?

No. The dates on digital versions have been changed now,

Yes; my own local record retailer changed to August 27 for the 5CD set a couple of days ago.

[Lonely Summer]

I expect that the next announcement will be that we have to subscribe to Disney Plus to hear the music.

[humanoidboogie]

I expect that the next announcement will be that we get to hear another track from the box set.
