Pacific Ocean Blue release?

[Glenn Greenberg]

...dennis recorded in such a fashion that no-one seemed clear as to who held the rights for the material as regards a reissue. BRI said they did... Sony said they did... I think Dennis' estate put in a claim... and I'm pretty sure that JWG thought he held the rights as former boss of Caribou. Now you can see why it took literally years to sort out (with some impressive horse trading thrown in for good measure).

I actually find it amusing that the chaos surrounding Dennis lives on 24 years after his death!

They were "looking" into it a long time ago...things are in an entirely different phase now. There is an expectation and a deadline. However, as we've both stated...nothing is absolute until the retail version is in our hands. But regarding the POB/Bamboo reissue saga, this is the closest we've ever been by far...and I'm encouraged. And yet there is still some of the hill to climb, no doubt.

Sounds good to me.  I've got my fingers crossed!

So would Dennis, I'd think!

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but Legacy has NO current plans to release POB in '08.  This is per a source at Legacy/Sony/BMG. It's only a project that is being "researched on the A+R front."  That's it.  The May 5, 2008 date is pure wishful thinking.  Perhaps another label is going to release it, but I doubt it, if Legacy is still looking into it.

In my opinion, POB will be re-issued, eventually, on some label, but it's going to be awhile.

Is that one slice of humble pie or two, sir ?

Three to start, please; I've got a big appetite.

What can I say?  I just passed on the info I was given by someone who works in the PR dept. of the label.  Perhaps I read too much into what little I was told, and my statement was too emphatic in its pessimism.  But, hey, when I'm wrong, I'll admit it, as I am here.

In my defense, I will say that I was right that the May 5, 2008 release date was false.  (yes, that's a VERY minor point considering the "official" release date is now May 13, 2008.)  And I did temper my position in a later post in reply to Jon Stebbins.

Also, for what it's worth, I believe I was the 1st one to post the full press release from the label, which, by the way, I got from the same person who told me that POB was just being "researched on the A+R front."

On this one, I'm happy to be wrong b/c it means that we're all going to get POB/Bambu sooner, rather than later!

Amen to that. Can't wait!!!

Looking at the likely May date, I'm gobsmacked - great BBs product is only ever released when I'm about as far away from civilisation as I can get. BWpSMiLE (and GIOMH come to that) came out when I was half-way across California in a tent; this time I'll be half-way across Scotland. also in a tent.

I keep telling you, you guys should PAY me to go away. How about I make plans for the Sierra High Route, and you start speculating on a SMiLE 66/67 box?

PM me for details of where to send the cheques!!!!

Dear Wee Helper - I have a ticket for a 12 month stay in Antarctica just waiting for you!

Okay guys - It looks like we have found a way to get that SMiLE Box Set we have always craved!!

I think the Green Bay Packers franchise is run by the fans. I wish their was someway the fans could own the Beach Boys music through stock! Then we could release whatever we wanted.

As if there's any less of a fractured, dysfunctional relationship within the fan community than the band... In 15 years, instead of everyone wondering why Carl sided with Mike on whatever, it would be a matter of why AGD sided with Surfer Girl. And everyone would still bitch, just like they do now.

Yeah...it's called "human nature", and it's unavoidable.
