I think I'll play it backwards when I am home tonight. I sense that there might be a 'hidden' Christmas Oratorio by Charlie Manson on it.
6 Cantatas, 6 instrumental interludes, and 6 spoken-word pieces. Genius.

In the liner notes to the reissued POB, it says something about the original POB album being just remastered. I can't remember exactly how it was put, but there is a sentence along the lines of "the original mix has been left as is, except for a brief "surprise"". What is the "surprise"?
Does anybody know?
Is it the part in "Thoughts of You" where the music suddenly gets very loud for a few seconds?

I don't think so - I remember reading this part is very loud because it was supposed to be. I think it was loud too on the original LP - the 1990s CD was quieter, but it wasn't "true" to the original recording.

Did the Beach Boys ever record "Runaway" ?
I just know their great live versions.

Recorded a live version, overdubbed it for single release, had second thoughts and eventually put it out on the 1986 Sunkist album.

Whose idea was it to put "Our Team" on the Good Vibrations box set? It's a really bad... not even
half
-baked song. Then again, considering the era they were trying to cherry-pick, I can sort of understand how hard to must have been to do that and not make the BBs seem like utter sh*t. (Hint: It's impossible to do that. And they didn't even include "My Diane"!)

I was going to make this a topic of its own, but then realized it's more of just an observation (and probably not all that interesting a one other than to me). I made a list of the BB songs that went top ten (both here in the US and in the UK).
In the US
Surfin' USA (3)
Surfer Girl (7)
Be True To Your School (6)
Fun, Fun, Fun (5)
I Get Around (1)
When I Grow Up (To Be A Man) (9)
Dance, Dance, Dance [8]
Help Me, Rhonda (1)
California Girls (3)
Barbara Ann (2)
Sloop John B (3)
Wouldn't It be Nice [8]
Good Vibrations (1)
One could include their two Christmas hits (both #3 on the Holiday charts) Little Saint Nick and Man With All The Toys and have an album that could legitimately be called 15 Big Ones.
And yes, I suppose if we must - include Kokomo and make it 16 Big Ones.
Edit: And I somehow had forgotten about Rock And Roll Music (5), so I guess that's 17 Big Ones!
UK Top Ten
I Get Around (7)
Barbara Ann (3)
Sloop John B (2)
God Only Knows (2)
Good Vibrations (1)
Then I Kissed Her (4)
Heroes And Villains [8]
Do It Again (1)
I Can Here Music (10)
Break Away (6)
Cotton Fields (2)
You could probably throw Darlin' (11) in there as an honorable mention.

You should probably blame the fans. Remember, this was the selection process for the tracks on the box:
1 - Top 40 single hits
2 - established 'classic' tracks (subject to band veto)
3 - archive material (subject to band veto)
4 - gaps filled by the lists solicited from fans worldwide in 1992 (released and unreleased)

How did they go about soliciting the lists from the fans, may i ask? Putting ads in the fanzines?

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

Were the fan songs subject to band veto as well? (I assume they were, but since you didn't write it out, I must ask...)

Huh, I had no idea about the fourth selection criterion. Well, I blame all of you here, then, for the inclusion of such a horrible song where something less terrible from the same era (yeah, I know,
that'd be really hard
but I think it could still be done -- heck, they could've given us "Da Doo Ron Ron" or something!) would be much more desirable. Were there many fans who opted for bootlegged material to be included on the box set? I imagine so, and that a lot of it probably would have been vetoed for one reason or another...

Our Team is actually more fun, way better and more Brian Wilsony than almost any other BB song from the 80's. I especially love Bri's imitation of Dennis in the harmonies.

'Xactly. The brief was to compile your fantasy 5-CD (that was the original plan) box, studio, live and unreleased (but no solo material). That was a fun thing to do.

aaaah, makes sense. Shame no 70's Live material made it on, because I bet a bunch of you suggested that! Did any of your 'rare' picks make it on, Andrew?
Our Team is pretty rough, but i couldn't tell you what I'd like to replace it.

A surprising percentage of my 'archive' selections made the cut, but I can't claim I was directly responsible for any single inclusion.

Oh and AGD I've always wondered, was there ever a reason given why "WIBNTLA" wasn't included?

WIBNTLA is essentially an unfinished recording...although its missing very little(guitar solo). I don't think there was much awareness of this track within the decision making hierarchy at BRI until about 2002, that's when it seemed to suddenly surface as an unbooted gem ...hence it was probably not even considered as a 30th anniversary box set contender.

My dream is for a new rareties collection to come out, and have that, 74 California Feelin', Lucy Jones, and the other admittedly few tracks I've never heard that actually still exist.

"ATIT" very nearly didn't make it - a good UK friend of mine had to make a phone call to the US pretty much demanding it was included. My sole direct input to the box (list aside) was ensuring the correct version of "Come Go..." was included: one of the box producers called me from the
mastering room
at Capitol to ask. Turns out each of the three thought the others knew which was the right one. Any conversation that starts with "I'm going to ask you a question, please don't laugh" is going to be one to treasure.

Better yet, a 10 track album that is nothing but remixed versions of "Lazy Lizzie". Old bands do that occasionally. You could get Kanye West, Swizz Beats, Aphex Twin, Moby... whoever, man, but it would be great.
