Any perspective on the release of the CATP/Holland boxed set?

[The Heartical Don]

Dear fellow members -

IIRC not long before the 'Feel Flows'-set appeared, it was briefly mentioned by Universal that the 'Carl & The Passions/Holland' equivalent would be released this fall.

I just checked the 'future releases' list of my own record retailer, but this doesn't show anything for the upcoming months.

Has it been delayed? Will it probably be out just prior to the Christmas days?

Thanks in advance for any news on this.

Don't know but the sooner, the better!  🤞 🤞

[Howie Edelson]

Soon.
Hold tight.

[The Heartical Don]

Soon.
Hold tight.

Ah, thanks, Howie!

[mtaber]

Thanks Howie, I’m very excited for this!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Same!

[Zenobi]

Thanks Howie!

Howie, can you narrow it down to a month? Has this box set been a ‘circular firing squad’ fiasco like the last?

Can you at least tell us some things to be excited about? Or songs/snippets you enjoyed?

So are we trying to bite the hand that feeds us? What circular firing squad? I was very happy with the last years set and I don’t see the need to stir up sh*t. But maybe I’m off base and if so I apologize. But let’s just not get snappy with a guy who has already given some neat info about this set.

I’m not even sure Al would spill the beans, but good try. 😉

News and images are starting to leak at the Hoffman forum and are trickling out to other message boards, so the announcement may be as soon as tomorrow. A live version of YNAMOHTSA is also rumored to start streaming tomorrow.

Sail on Sailor is certainly a fine enough title, but I would have liked a title that is lifted from the lyrics of a song like Sunshine Tomorrow.

The Beach Boys Through Restful Waters

The Beach Boys - Unsettled Oceans

The Beach Boys - Sunny California

The Beach Boys - Another Sunny Day

The Beach Boys - Scheming To Rule the Waves

The Beach Boys - Dusk Time

The Beach Boys - Golden Auras

I actually like that one

"Sail on Sailor" as a title for a 72/73 deluxe box might be the biggest no-brainer title ever for an archival release. Hasn't been used as an album title (well, who knows what weird comps exist around the world, but it's not a mainstream album title anyway), is the most well-known song title from this era among the masses (and about the only BB song that ever had any traction on Classic Rock radio for whatever that's still worth), and I'd say it evokes the period quite well. It's poignant without being negative (no, folks, I seriously doubt they want to call a set "Unsettled Oceans" and advertise the acrimony first and foremost).

One of the best things about these sets is that, after a million years of everybody (casual fans and hardcore fans alike) often dwelling on the downer/negative stuff (and believe me, as a student/scholar of this band, all of that stuff *should also* be covered in the appropriate forums), these sets blow you away with the idea that above all else, they made jaw-dropping, stunning music all through this, including dozens and dozens of tracks they never released.

We should all be very, very excited.

I just took a look at that forum. This was posted there:








It also says that "You need a Mess of Help" (live at Carnegie Hall) is already streaming in some time zones.

Whoa

[pixletwin]

Rad. I love the cover image with ALL the BB. I'll prolly go with the deluxe vinyl and buy a digital version to go with it.

[Bedroom Tapes]

I hope this new box set comes with action figures of all the band members.  I want a Brian bathrobe edition with karate chop action!

Mess of Help..

Please calm down. Way way down. Circular firing squad was a term used by I thought Howie, or someone else in the know in regards to the delayed sunflower boxset. No one is biting any hands. Nor is anyone stirring anything up. It was merely a question if this box set went smoother than Feel Flows boxset. That’s it. That’s it.

It's on Apple Music now (United States).

Crazy to see that we are getting "Pa Let Her Go Out", "Spark In The Dark", "Body Talk (Grease Job)", "Carry Me Home", and many others. The songwriting session tape for "Sail On, Sailor" and a lot more.

Thank you Brian, Mike, Al, Blondie, Ricky, Dennis, Carl, Howie, Mark and Alan. Everybody else who contributed to this project. I cannot wait!

[Emdeeh]

"Mess of Help" live -- wow!

[The Heartical Don]

Ah, the pictures look great!

Thanks to all who contributed.
