We've gotten a bout 200 previously unreleased tracks in the last decade alone. Is 1 track of a song we have multiple versions of really worth getting this upset about?

But your grandkids will be able to celebrate the opening week in 2070.

A pro recording would only exist in the RTL vaults in Luxembourg.

There was a 5CD Spector box set about 22 years ago.

Given how no form of release has happened for any live recordings made in 1970, am I right in understanding that as of 00:01 tonight, these recordings become public domain within the EU? Or does the fact the the original recordings have the Copyright extension, mean the live versions do as well?

I have been fiddling around with some some digital extraction software and have created a stereo audio track for the TAMI show. It adds a whole new dimension. I might post a snipüpet or two, once I figure out the legalities.

Let's just say it sounds pretty amazing.

On Amazon Prime there is a live album entitled "It's About Time" with 18.12.2020 release date.

Howie, it's about time we got some good news in this whole world. Especially knowing that it will add some music to your day, our day, in fact everyone's day. But this long wait wasn't all bad, as I got to know the woman, Deirdre, who was telling me she had tears in the morning, when she awoke to hear that the Feel Flows set had faced another set-back. Yes, the long wait seemed to take forever, and many people had been quoted as saying, "all I wanna do is get my hands on this set, put it on the player, sit at my window and drink a glass of cool, cool water, despite it being winter-time". On behalf of everyone here, may we send you our sweet love in keeping us updated on this eagerly awaited box set.

I just added my sig to the petition. I also posted it on my Facebook page, I have a lot of people as friends who I know like the band, and would by the set.

Here's hoping logical heads prevail.

One question. Come December 31st, if recordings previously unreleased have not been released by the stroke of midnight, that will fall into public domain in the EU. There will be some sort of copyright extension required whether the band members want it or not, correct?

"Pursuant to the “use it or lose it” provision (Directive 2001/77/EU, Art. 3(1)), recordings are only entitled to the 20-year extension if they are offered for sale to the public before the expiration of the original 50-year term. Consequently, pre-1963 works that were not released to the public before December 31, 2012 have now fallen into the public domain in Europe."

As I undestand it, if a release in any form does not occur prior to December 31, 2020, all previuosly unreleased material will fall into the Public Domain in the EU.

An interesting side note: There were vocal sessions by Marilyn for a segment of Vegetables. This did not appear on any copyright extension release. I would be curious to know the legal status of those sessions.

I wonder if the hadwritten lyrics for Surf's Up, which were "The father's life is done, And the children carry on" which supossedly would have occured right before the "Child, Child Child" coda were ever recorded? That would be an interseting find if indeed they were.

I am questioning whether I buy another BB release. I have been a HARD CORE fan since 1981, but if Mike will not stand up and defend Brian, the I have nothing left to celebrate this peice of sh*t band.

What is the status on 1969 live recordings?

It was mentioned last year that BRI has virtually nothing in the vaults as far as 1969 live soundboard/multitrack recordings.

There is that French show aired on French TV that is available for purchase as a video download; presumably BRI does not own that footage. Other than small bits here and there, there's nothing but a few audience recordings.

Yikes! That is incredible.

What is the status on 1969 live recordings?

Apparently on Spotify NZ

The Beach Boys 1969: I'm Going Your Way

I'm Going Your Way (Alternate Vocal Take)
Slip On Through (Early Version)
Carnival (Over the Waves) - looks like it is a 2:43 minute version

Does this mean I’ll be able to do Fig Plucker without any retribution? Asking for a friend...

If these type of tracks are not released by 23:59, December, 31, 2019, they will fall into public domain, at least within the EU, correct?

The clockwork cycle the release of a previously unheard track goes in the Beach Boys world of fandom:

1. Gush over a song that will be released soon because it already has a mythical, legendary status.
2. Exclaim how "I can't wait!!!" a few days before release.
3. Stampede to be the first to get a copy.
4. Lament the fact that you are one of the ones who can't get it and promise to be the best friend of whoever uploads it for you.
5. Finally get a copy and almost orgasm prior to even play the song.
6. Bag the merda out of the song because it doesn't live up to the hype you yourself created - strangely enough you also forget how you have been demanding this released for the last 10 years.
7. Repeat cycle for the next previously unheard song release.

More precise than an atomic clock.

A question that came to me when I listened to Audree singing on the 20/20 copyright extension set: Did "The Many Moods of Murry Wilson" get any type of extension release in 2017?

I'm one of the few that absolutely loves SDT on Surf's Up. I always liked hearing the BBs going down the hard-rock route.

OMG! All I Want To Do with Dennis vocal take 2. The fade out/end. Let's just say the legend is true, and Dennis is the man!

Thank you jiggy22. I listened again today and thought it did sound very Hawaii-style. Good to see I am not alone in my suspicions.

Something I noticed upon listening to Heroes and Villains: the "la la la" verse followed by "Stand or fall..." It sounds to me like they found the multitrack master for that section. Is this the case? It sounds very different to the mono only version. I have never heard that section in that mix before. Can anyone confirm this?

When I first heard about this project, I was sceptical to say the least. I have been pleasantly surprised by how good it sounds to my ears. I often imagine classical elements to BB songs, so I guess this record speaks to me. I am glad it is in my collection.
