I don't want to come across as a killjoy but open unauthorised circulation of one if the key tracks - Nd therefore prime USPs - of a new compilation not long (hopefully) before official release might be used a s a reason for ditching the release altogether.
As many will know I'm partial to the occasional silver disc myself but something like this ought to be handled extremely delicately bearing in mind that this board is fortunate enough to be visited by folk at the heart if the official release programme.

Are you Steve Hoffman by any chance?
It's no doubt true that something like this should be handled delicately but c'mon, a record company isn't going to cancel an entire box set because they hear about a few people on a message board getting access to a single track. That's just crazy talk.

SMiLE was almost completely bootlegged when the box was released,
Why would the release of a track what should've been released YEARS ago be expected not to be leaked out eventually?

Always remember, Capitol were going to pull the plug on the whole
Smile Sessions
project because people were actually
calling the Tower
and
asking for details
of it.
They wanted to buy it
. We know this is true because The Hoff said so, on his own board... so never underestimate the latent insanity of a record company.

Long shot but did Mark Linett buy it?
The winning bid was by "y***r", possibly short for "Your place or mine". Yeah serious long shot.

Well this is exciting news. I think John Manning has a point though. It could jeopardize an official release of the song but if someone's willing to share it's kind of a moot point unless we demand that he keeps it to himself. Somehow I think consensus may swing the other way!
However, seems odd to me that this has apparently been in the fan community for 6 years without being circulated. But I'm a trusting kind of person so, c'mon Beachboys Fr, wake up and share it already!

Okay I concede that sharing the file might not jeopardise this coming box but if I were Mark Linett or Capitol or Alan Boyd etc etc etc it might sure as hell make me consider whether it's worth bothering my arse putting together any future archive releases.
Just my tu'penny worth!

... but surely people gathering stuff for a commemorative box set of a band as huge as the BBs would use
other
ways than
bidding
on f*cking ebay to acquire stuff?
Say, contacting said party and negotiating a price in a private manner?
I'd say that CD went to
some
guy who's playing it in his car on his way to work now each morning (whilst not having a f*cking clue about an upcoming box set).

It was one of the shortest nights of my life and you know why...
First, I can confirm at 99% that it is Dennis' voice. I was a little bit puzzleled when I listened to the song for the first time two days ago because I found the voice a little bit "clear". But I didn't know at this time that the song was recorded at the begining of the 70's. I had in mind Dennis' voice at the latter 70's / early 80's.
Here are more information on the track. I precise that I still have not heard other version(s). I don't want being polluted...
Total time is 04:33. There is a short intro of 00:06 with piano as the main instrument. Then Dennis sings alone. At 00:33 background vocals begin. I can't confirm if it is Brian and Carl or not. At 00:39, drums begin. The same structure is repeated once. After 02:35, there are mainly harmonies and from 03:44 to the end, Dennis repeats the same sentence. He doesn't really sing; he almost speaks. The averall sound is not perfect but quite good. I think it is a great song even if I'm not a Dennis fan (I have not POC at home!). But I love songs like "Only with you", "Forever", Barbara", and this track is in a similar vein.
Now, I will listen another version(s) and tell you. Just to be clear: how much version do we know? Only the cover recorded for the tribute?
It may appear strange to pay $400 for a CD without knowing that this song was on it, but I'm first interested in CDs. I'm an heavy Beach Boys on CD collector and since I have almost all now, I can concentrate resources on missing items. I had also a bad experience in the past with such CDs when I lost an auction on eBay for 6 Beach Boys reference CDs which were probably unique...
Anyway, I have made no decision about what I will do with the track. On one hand, I don't want to keep it for me and, on the other hand, I want to be as legal as possible. More to come...

This would seriously make my day - I'm stuck inside revising all day

May I suggest either PM for those who want to hear or putting it on soundcloud with an alternative title which you then post the link to here?

Or... they might just go to the vaults and pull out the original multitracks, as they did for

I think your concerns are justified but the desire for this unreleased material is just too great in the fan community - once it's leaked it will be shared and discussed regardless. The problem is with the initial leak.
My suggestion is that if we get to hear it, we just post that we still intend to buy the official version, if ever released.
Hearing a bootleg version of the track would certainly not stop me buying MIC if the track makes it onto that set.

I imagine it has something to do with the sticky at the top of the board about constant requests for PMs and how they're not allowed in case they get the board shut down. It may also have something to do with the disappearance of the board for two days, though I wouldn't like to say for sure...

It appears the board was moved to a new server, which is why it was/is "down". The "missing" posts are on the old server, so it's possible the move was already happening before those posts were made.

so back to where we were: WIBNTLA is in someone on this board's possesion IIRC. I presume that info was shared here in order to let the rest of the board hear it and not dangle it out of reach above us like a carrot?
