On November 1st Capitol Records will be releasing the Smile Sessions Box Set! (October 31st international release) This is a promo video of everything that will be included in the box set. Consider this a pre-oder =D
WOW! Finally, I've been waiting since I was 16yrs old. Thought I'd have to make due with the decent "re-make" from a few years ago, and the many bootleg versions around. With so many false attempts over the years, maybe I should wait & celebrate when I actually have the box in my hands!! Thanks for the link and info. I'll start saving up my $170.00 now.
Definitely gonna buy it - if I can afford it in November. There's a new Phil Spector box set coming out later this year as well. Oh my, I need m-m-money!
Since buying the collection's edition boxed set of The Smile Sessions last month, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. A month of trying to grapple with the historical significance of this (and its relationship to the music--pop, classical, jazz, and otherwise--of then as well as the music of now) and over 7500 words later, we published this on NewMusicBox: http://www.newmusicbox.org/articles/sounds-heard-the-beach-boys-the-smile-sessions/
You got the Heroes And Villains, and Good Vibrations mp3's that were released today? I'm thinking about throwing them up on my blog.

ReplyDeleteThey don't count as leaks when they are officially released. They are just releases.

ReplyDeletegullywasher: wasn't sure whether they were leaks or releases, but yeah, I know the difference
ReplyDelete"They don't count as leaks when they are officially released. They are just releases."
ReplyDeleteActually, I leaked them, then Capitol released them, and I found that like too :p
