Why do they tease us!?!?!?!   I hope it's good FANTASTIC news!

Thanks for linking this! I think I will get A Postcard From California after all.

As long as it's not the same old moldies, I'm about to sh*t my pants.

Better get a change of pants ready...

Are there plans for a new Beach Boys archival project?

Capitol Records plans to issue a Beach Boys version of Smile sometime this summer to begin the celebration of The Beach Boys’ anniversary.  Smile is the Holy Grail for Beach Boys’ fans, so it will be good.   

I don’t have many details on it, although we didn't do any new recording. I'm happy to see it finally come out.  Brian’s changed his mind about releasing the material, but it was inevitable, wasn’t it? (Al chuckles).

A few comments.

Smile - obviously incredible news.

2012 - needs to work on his math.

Grammy Lifetime Achievement - they were awarded that ten years ago

[Pretty Funky]

Big wow!!!

All parties up for 2012 and a SMiLE related release.

I hope Al has the ok to announce all this.


I would like to see us doing the Grammys this year as a Lifetime Achievement situation, but unfortunately that’s not gonna happen because the group would rather start next year, so that gives me a year to prepare.

So for 2012 we hope to kick-off the Grammys, then a worldwide tour.  I think you’ll get a chance to see us live, because it will be quite a coming-out party in 2012.

Brian’s team has been very encouraging; we just have to figure out how to do it, you know, who will the players be and who will be involved, but everyone has agreed in principle to do it.

Guess 2011 just kind of snuck up on them!

Andrew. Awarded yes but did not perform. I think that is what he is wishing for.

[Paulos]

I really, really hope this is true, amazing news about SMiLE!

[The Heartical Don]

I really, really hope this is true, amazing news about SMiLE!

Seconded, thirded, fourthed, .... gazillioned! A big wow, and I hope it will be an item to treasure... I am thinking a 3CD-set, with disk 1 containing the best possible reconstruction of the album itself, and the other two filled with desirable additional material. And a lavish booklet. And a SMiLE bathrobe. And a pair of SMiLE slippers. And a SMiLE bottle of vintage single malt whiskey. And a box of SMiLE cigars.

To ensure a maximum SMiLE experience on the first few evenings of listening.

[The Shift]

Let's wait see -  could be the 30 years box set stuff bolstered by the other bits that have trickled out, like the Humble Harv H&V demo, various GVs cuts... all remastered of course!

Oh, and if Al's into it, the "real" version of Worms!

You mean: Al Sardine's Can Of Worms? Should we open it, really?

You forgot the plans for the sandbox.

[GoogaMooga]

I am over the moon, since I never got the Sea of Tunes box. I don't think the new one will be as comprehensive as that, but this is really happening, man!

[The Heartical Don]

BTW: will the 2011 Smile be in Duophonic?

Just askin', maaan...

[lance]

Holy crap, I just came in my pants.

[The Heartical Don]

Holy crap, I just came in my pants.

Is that the Banana/Louie/Sandbox experience?

[hypehat]

Give a sh*t, would you Andrew? Capitol might be releasing Smile!

Might be, of course. I won't believe it until I have the cd in my grubby hands.

To keep riding the skepticism wagon,  how many times have Capitol/Warner/the BB's themselves hinted at releasing Smile since it was canned? The mooted version in late '67 minus Smiley tracks that was mentioned in LLVS, Warner's dealbreaker.... Any more?

The petition to ban you has just started.

[hypehat]

Sorry, I'm a bear without my morning coffee 

[Loaf]

Jesus fucking shitting Christ on a stick.

I'm at a loss for real words.

I always knew this day would come (even if it was the 2067 microchip version from LLVS), but now that it's finally here I am astounded.

3CDs MINIMUM, preferably 4 and a DVD.

I hear Lenny Bernstein chuckling in his grave...

[lance]

I'd be thrilled with ONE CD collating the GoodVibrations tracks plus a few others. I don't need to hear endless takes(though I'll buy it).

However, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Until I hold it in my hot little hands. BRI does have a tendency to not follow through on their plans.

[The Shift]

and then there's "The Beach Boys Play Smile" already available in iTunes. Featuring previously released stuff, including Smiley Smile versions in place of SMiLE versions.

Let's not get too excited until we learn more...

That would be the limited (sand)box edition which includes a beagle and a weimaraner which - on command will "do their thing" in that very sandbox so that you can really fully experience the late 66 / early 67 musical development Brian was going through? 


To be honest, I'm excited, but we're relying on a single quote from the same guy that promised us a soon-to-be released first solo studio-album quite a few years back (and ending up with an I-Tunes download).
But that's the pessimist in me.     I really hope that within a year we all hold and listen to that SMiLE-box we have been waiting for for so many years.

[Emdeeh]

Wow, my jaw just dropped (literally) when I read the Jardine story in my newsfeed.

If the tour and the Smile release actually happen, I'll be a very happy camper.
