Feel Flows box set

[as1972]

Thanks, SM. One of those "domino" harmony vocals (Carl's or Bruce's?) could have shattered a window.

I believe it's Bruce's harmony you're referring to. That man's vocal talents are astounding at times.

So cool to hear Brian's inimitable detuned piano still in use buried in this mix of Slip On Through!   

Wow. Oh man this is such an amazingly cool version.

It's one of those revelations where as soon as I heard it isolated on this track it was like I somehow knew it was there all along, that Brian Wilson piano vibe that you hear on the wild honey album, but in the Sunflower final album mix it's buried and not as prominent so it comes as a wonderful surprise to hear it like this.

I'm looking forward to hearing so many more wonderful surprises like that throughout the set, I am pumped!

This version is about 4.7% slower than the released version, so it seems the track was sped up for release, like Caroline, No.

EDIT: Just noticed the MiC a cappella mix is also slower, so this is nothing new... for some reason listening to the instrumental track made it that much obvious to me.

Another track up on Spotify: Slip On Through - Alternate 1969 Mix With Session Intro. Nothing too amazing - basically the Sunflower version with fewer overdubs and a false start take at the beginning.

Man, those backing vocals !!!!!

YESSS was hoping this alternate version was the one they put on the set. IMO a better version than the released version. Those bg vocs blow me away!

I think that this version would have been a hit!  Great melody, driving percussion, fantastic lead vocal...the background vocals are sublime.

 Okay, about 2 weeks to go now - unless my maths or memory is off.

Starting to think that I can let myself get a preliminary level of excitement here. No further delays in sight!

In 1970 the Beach Boys could've released some of the greatest songs of their career (which in fact they did) and they wouldn't get a hit.

They're online only since the end of last year as far as I know too...

We are lucky to have two actual tower records shops in Dublin, Ireland

That's news to me! Especially considering they declared bankruptcy years ago and only came back as an online seller last November, at least in the US. Are the stores' signs yellow with red lettering in Dublin like the old Tower shops? I practically lived at Tower's 3-story shop on Newbury and Mass Ave in Boston in the 90's, I miss them.

[Shady]

They are the classic Tower Records stores. They somehow survived in Ireland. They do great business

The towers on Newbury in Boston was tremendous!

The towers on Newbury in Boston was tremendous!

The best! Great memories there. Spent a boatload of cash at that place too.    I did win the Today/Summer Days 2-fer when they did a Sunday night music trivia contest, with a regular priced CD being the prize. Great book and magazine section on the first floor, that's where I also bought Look Listen Vibrate Smile.

[Greg Parry]

My Amazon UK order also cancelled. Very unhappy!

[Tidepool Interlude]

Same here. Cancelled.

Is this Amazon's way of hiking up the price in a week of so and me not getting my 'Price Guarantee'?

Fantastic.

Today/Summer Days 2-fer was the first CD I ever bought.  It was hard for future CDs to be of the caliber of that first purchase.

Fantastic.

Yes, I had a great price guarantee, and I won't be re ordering any time soon through Amazon

As I have no record shop anywhere near me, I suppose I'll just be streaming this set. A real shame for those who worked hard on this. Sales are going to be hit.

For what it's worth, Greg, I just argued with Amazon customer service for over an hour and they (very) reluctantly agreed to honour my price guarantee if and when it comes back in stock. I did have to speak to a manager though.
