Feel Flows box set

[Shady]

The music  universe post has been pulled.. also we've heard nothing from The Beach Boys.

Maybe some places went a day early on this

[PetSmile]

I'd like to say thanks too - staggering! Something in there to delight all listeners.

Looking forward to the whole, but in terms of individual tracks too, I'm most excited about Back Home Live '76; the new Dennis material; Big Sur; Back Home demo; When Girls Get Together and Awake. Not to mention the new album mixes.

Thanks for ensuring it was released guys.

There are no new album mixes

Oh, doesn't make much difference anyways -- great released.

I don't quite understand though -- it gives the full LPs and says "2019 mix" next to them. What are these tracks if not album remixes?? Just wanna know what they are in this case.

[Bedroom Tapes]

Lots of juicy goodness here!  Diggin' that artwork and booklet.  And once again, huge thanks to all involved!!!

It says "2019 master"

Oh, woopsie. Must have confused the 'mix' labels on tracks below with them. Apologies.

[HeyJude]

As others have pointed out, track listings on latter-day releases (e.g. in the digital/streaming era) have usually been pretty good about indicating remix vs. (re)master, and this track listing notes these are "masters", not remixes. These notations are usually accurate, down to noting the year the remasters were done even when the eventual sets they're housed on have been delayed significantly.

All of which, as I suspected, has rendered previous debates about the efficacy of doing remixes on these two albums moot.

"As for the Coca Cola track, perhaps there were copyright issues."

it's 2021 for pete's sake, how many more decades does this set need to wait until 'copyright issues' finally are resolved?

[Mooger Fooger]

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?

[Rob Dean]

Many Many THANKS to all those involved in making this Set a reality

Massive thanks to all The Beach Boys (especially to Dennis & Carl ,who might not be here but must be looking down and enjoying our euphoria) for making such superb music during the period in question

CD 5. Bonus Disc

Oh my god

How is it not possible for me to get the 5CD set, the 2 CD and the Vinyl box set

Wouldn't all material be found on the 5CD box set?

The vinyl/2CD sets seem to have a handful of unique edits.

Seems a litte strange. Is there anywhere that does a comparison?

[Ram4]

The 5CD box looks great, looking forward to getting it.  I noticed Back Home (1970) is not on here (and that's ok - we have it on Made In California) plus we do get other versions of it anyway.  I was hoping for a full a Capella version of Break Away.  Other than that - I am thrilled with the track list!  I knew something special had to be planned for Sunflower (and Surf's Up) when the 1969 copyright dump was 3 songs.

[CenturyDeprived]

Amazing beyond words, thanks to Howie, Mark, Alan, and everyone involved!

[Bud Shaver]

Tears (I got tears I got tears) in the morning (in the mornin')
Now that the release day is coming soon

[pixletwin]

My typical MO for such things is Deluxe Box Set + Vinyl Set. Now please get this up for preorder. Pleeeeeeeease. 

[smog police]

Totally agree - it'll be the 5 CDs and vinyl for me. Howie was right - this thing looks very special!

[Rich E P]

Damn, am I the only one literally drooling over the tastiness of this set!  So excited.  I have always loved this underappreciated (by the general music buying public) era of the band's work.  This beautiful set seems like a wonderful in depth exploration of the work and an embarrassment of riches.

Many thanks to Howie (I really enjoyed your posts and teasers leading up to this announcement), Mark and Alan, and everyone else involved in what is clearly a labour of love.  I had the opportunity to exchange messages (and provide concert tickets) with/to Mark several years back and Alan Boyd was kind enough to invite me over to his place to talk Beach Boys and listen to some wonderful audio treats.  Top Gents. My limited experience with these folks behind these projects is that they are knowledgeable, passionate professionals who know and love the music. They work hard.  We all know how difficult it is to please all parties involved with this band that we love so much.  Your work is appreciated.  Thanks for keeping the legacy alive and vital!

As others have said, this has been a very trying last year and a half.  This promise of this set has been a carrot that has kept me going and holding out hope for the future.  Perhaps that sounds overly dramatic but it is the truth.  

Roll on July 23.  And if anyone can find a listing to preorder on Amazon Canada send me a link.  Doesn't seem available for preorder yet.  I know I will be purchasing every variation possible because I am a geek like that and that is just what I do.  If loving The Beach Boys is wrong, I don't wanna be right!

Pre orders will definitely be up on the third wherever you are

[buddhahat]

What great news! Can’t wait. Does anyone have the track listing for the vinyl set?

[Mitchell]

Well, this is certainly something. Can't wait! Thanks to everyone for making it a reality!

[Steven]

   Thrilling to read the track list and view the cover art. (Which vaguely reminds of a cross between ENDLESS SUMMER and FRIENDS.) I'll be down for the 5CD set whenever pre-order is available. A grateful "Thanks" to all who made FEEL FLOWS happen!

[Shady]

Big sur on Spotify here in Ireland now

So beautiful 😍

[MyDrKnowsItKeepsMeCalm]

Yay! Can't wait!

[feelintheflows]

They always F up the cover art. IMO. Aaaaaaalways half ass 🤷🏻‍♂️
This is the artwork we get from the box set of 2 of their best albums.... yikes
You would think since the title is called Feel Flows the art would be from 1971

[Shady]

You can order the box set as an MP3 right now on amazon as an MP3 but not the physical copy. So strange.
