Sail On Sailor box set

[Awesoman]

To answer the topic brought up above, yes, the Analogue Productions releases (vinyl and CD/SACD hybrid) are legit, licensed releases. I'm not sure what would possibly make anyone think they're not. They were/are sold through legitimate retailers, and have known names that remastered them.

They weren't discussed a ton here, but I think that was just a confluence of a bunch of things (the 2012 reissues being relatively recent at the time, not a super huge interest here in high-rez, and the incomplete nature of both reissue campaigns).

The current mode of running through the catalog and getting the albums back out there in physical form and also presenting a ton of outtakes (e.g. Feel Flows and Sail on Sailor) is ideal, and I certainly hope we continue to see the 70s covered in one form or another.

I bought all of he analogue production masters as high res downloads. They are easily the best editions of those albums. I don’t expect them to be bettered. Absolutely vital purchases.

I think it was also Analogue Productions that handled the 200g vinyl release of Holland that I also own.  That sucker's a pretty thick piece of wax; it could take a bullet and still probably play fine.  🤣

And even better; although mentioned nowhere on either the 2LP vinyl release or the SACD, both contain We Got Love as a bonus cut. (granted, they do mention it on their website).

This version of WGL is a longer edit compared to the original version that only made it on testpressings of the first version of Holland, and a few hundred German pressings (when someone at WEA accidenally accidentally took the wrong master to press a second run of the original pressing (probably March 1973). And this longer edit is the same as the one on the so-called Klay-tapes (Brother 3CD set).

For anybody who hasn't pre-ordered, Import CDs has reduced the box set to $112.99, and they charge just $2.99 to ship within the US. You won't receive it on the day of release, but they're a good option for anybody willing to wait a few days to save a few $$$. They have been in business for a long time and are reliable... I've ordered from them previously, including "Feel Flows".

The retail price has been lowered here also, in Holland, that is (how apt, Holland).

So, I’d like all of the unreleased stuff, acapellas, backing tracks, etc. but I do not own a record player. I’d like a CD so I can dump it into iTunes to put it on my phone. What are my options?

Can anyone recommend great record players too?

I seem to recall with Feels Flows I didn’t have this problem. I don’t want to miss out on unreleased stuff. And I’d like the booklet thing.

It's coming out on CD:

Just came across this -

Japanese edition with bonus track

Seems a little odd - I sniff a little marketing sneakery going on here. I vague recall a slightly similar deception being carried out with the Feel Flows box Japanese release, but I do know that the Japanese record buying public have a certain taste for bonus tracks.

Huge improvement over the bootleg for sure!   

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Sounds good to me. Of course we know certain people are gonna hate it just because, but IMHO it’s just fine …

[Tony S]

Big improvement over the booted version.  Sounds great.

[pixletwin]

Love it. I even got a bit verklempted.

What a beautiful recording!!

[thetojo]

Am I right in thinking reverb has been added in parts?

[Rocker]

For some reason there's not a lot going on here about "Carry me home" so I would just like to express again how much I appreciate this "new" version. Much more than I ever liked listening to the bootlegged version (for obvious reasons). Listening to this release blew my mind. Blondie and Dennis sharing the lead is very effective and it shoows (as does the In Concert album) how well Blondie's voice fit in with the Beach Boys blend. Man, if only Blondie and Ricky would've stayed with the band.
Thanks Alan, Mark, Howie, Beach Boys and everyone else who made sure we can enjoy this beautiful recording.

Yea, I agree completely. Some songs do okay (some songs maybe even benefit, in a strange way) from a little hiss, but this is not one of them. I've always had a sense that it was a great song, but I've never really wanted to listen to it until now. The sound of it in this version is just absolutely sublime.

‘It’s Eerie Listening Back‘: Beach Boys Finally Release Dennis Wilson Rarity ’Carry Me Home’

It's so nice to finally have an official release of this underrated song.  This earthy, folky track hints at what could have been if the Beach Boys had continued to explore this path during that period of the band instead of careening straight back into caricatures of themselves with 15 Big Ones.  Oh well.
