New Beach Boys release will make you 'SMiLE'

[bgas]

What's one of these sleeves with it's 45 worth?

$15-40

[metal flake paint]

According to the July 2010 issue of Goldmine, a Near Mint Brother 1001 45 is worth around $100 USD. Not sure if there is a price difference between the West Coast (textured) and East Coast (smooth) sleeves or the various pressings.

Wait ! So there really was a sleeve back then released that said "Wilson Records" instead of Capitol ?

[Mikie]

$15 - $40??  Where'd you pull that estimate out of, your butt?  Or Osbornes price guide from the 80's??  

Mine's mint and worth a lot more than 40 bucks!!  If you're selling one for 40 bucks (even ripped or wrinkled) please PM me now!

And what about my other Heroes & Villains sleeve - Capitol 5826?  How much do you think that's worth now, Bgas?  $40 bucks?

I was going to say, the sleeve in the pic is worth maybe $5 tops, on account of it not being in any way kosher.  

[Mikie]

Whoops, I came in late, didn't note the "Wilson Records" on the sleeve, read Metal Flake's original sleeve value and assumed Bgas was talking about the "Brother" sleeve.

I think Bgas WAS talking about the original sleeve though, not the booted sleeve.

By the way, there's a Smile boot on "Wilson BB001", and Heroes & Villains Pt. 1 & 2 on "Wilson Records", among others.

Mahalo.  Was curious as I have one nearly mint (the Brother Records one).

Sell em and see what ya get. 
The price guides are almost always wrong.
Ya know, there's a LOT of those Capitol Sleeves out there. How many do you think Capitol Manufactured? Almost all of them went to Europe, where they show up frequently. When I bought mine, there wasn't any internet to speak of. Now it's/they're everywhere. 
Is that good or bad? 
But heck, I'm willing to see the light; Someone wants to spend $100 for the Brother sleeve I'd send it to them.

That H&V sleeve is one of the ugliest sleeves ever... I hope they use the one w/the Smile pics....

[gxios]

I bought H & V when it came out in 1967. It had a plain white sleeve.   I never saw the picture sleeve until I started going to record shows in 1974.  Did anyone here get that sleeve in 1967? Everyone I've talked to that would remember back that far (and we are all east coasters) claims never to have seen one until the 1970's.

I had a similar experience on the west coast, but didn't go to record shows or used record stores until '74 either.

Troublingly stupid blog post on the Guardian website - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/2011/mar/14/beach-boys-smile - in which Caspar Llewellyn Smith guffs that he wishes TSS wasn't being released because

• some things should remain hard to track down (ie he paid for bootlegs)
• the album should remain unfinished (like it is on the bootlegs he paid for)
• no-one wanted BWPS to 'fill the gaps' (ie he prefers lead vocals missings, like on those expensive bootlegs)

Leaving aside the leap of logic that ignores the word 'Sessions' in the title of TSS and assumes this release is going to go spoiling things by finishing the album (something even he seems wobbly about in the piece), this is a batshit piece of grrrnalism.  It would have been quicker (though less remunerative, if he's paid by the word) to write 'WIZZO SMITH HAV BOOTLEGS CHIZ CHIZ'.

I predict many more postings like this.  Even - no, especially - when it's released.

Thanks for referring - I found it rather funny. As in: bored student is disappointed because his cherished and expensive bootwear will now be for everyone out there, in much better quality. I think he's a frat boy with golf trousers.

Glad this is coming out now rather than 2067 like Dom predicted

The girl looks OK to me. But who are these 5 tossers in the background?

Unfortunately, I didn't get the H & V sleeve in '67, because I didn't get around to buying the 45 until the following January, I think as a used record.  But, on the west coast, I distinctly recall seeing a stack of H&V singles, all with the picture sleeve, at White Front (a huge chain discount store with a great record department).  As I picked up the record and considered buying it (probably on a few occasions), I recall thinking that the picture sleeve looked rather bizarre and unappealing, and being extremely surprised that the single was on "Brother Records - Manufactured by Capitol Records".
