    Why would anybody other than Mark Linnett and Alan Boyd be curating it? They've done every other archival project for, oh, the last 25 years.

    Steve Desper had a couple of SUNFLOWER acetates posted on his website for a while as part of the album’s behind the scenes.
    Til I Die was on one of those acetates.

    Jeff took on two jobs with Brian, 'band leader'/guitarist/singer and Brian's caretaker.
    Taking care of Brian on the road would be a full time job on it's own.
    As the years have ticked by, I'm sure Brian's demands have probably increased in terms
    of what he needs for his well-being and functioning to be a performer.
    I'd highly suspect he would have been paid more to take care of him.
    I'm sure Jeff probably took care of him out of admiration and respect for the man.
    He probably didn't even negotiate that into his working contract. Who knows?
    Those behind the scenes dynamics changed pretty quickly however whatever the arrangement.
    Seems Jeff saw a 'green light' to less stress, more money and a change of scenery.

    Possibly the one that ruined the prospect of future physical projects. :winkgrin:

    What do ya mean? You don't think it was a good release? Or in terms of sales?
    I'd find it hard to listen to the original after this release.
    It's much more listenable and enjoyable without all the 'bling blang' overdubs.
    I understand it and why it was done.
    I much prefer the Party 'Uncovered & Unplugged' release.
    Great stuff! You really get a sense of just how young and 'goofy fun' these guys were.

    I don't disagree with you, I just don't think that it was ever going to be a "big seller". There are other Beach Boys albums that are more deserving of deluxe editions such as The Beach Boys Today! and Summer Days (And Summer Nights). Strategically, it would've made more sense to release those first, especially considering that the sales numbers of physical releases have been steadily decreasing.

    I'm surprised that the 65 set wasn't focused on T/SDSN - just the stereo versions of those with outtakes/backing tracks on a 2 CD set would have been great.

    That wasn't a version of Sunflower, it's the so-called 'Landlocked' lineup compiled after Sunflower's release to show the label what sort of material was on the cards for the next album. 'Til I Die, Big Sur, Lookin' at Tomorrow and HELP weren't recorded until after Sunflower was completed.

    Yeah! 100 percent agree.
    Imagine that, deluxe releases of 'Today' and 'Summer Days' and Summer Nights'.
    What a missed opportunity.
    :cry:
    We 'Beach Boys' get the short straw compared to other bands.
    There's some other potential bands like The Stones, Floyd, Beatles that get the love.
    Geezus! I just wanna punch somebody!

    I'm such an angry fan! I should settle on someone like Nana Mouskouri, James Last or Barry Manilow.
    Would reduce my grey hairs at least.....
    :rolleyes:
    It's tough being a 'Beach Boys' fan.

    I hear ya! It's frustrating alright. In fact, it's frustrating, if one loves any artist that isn't in this exclusive club: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, and Yes. Ugh!

    Yes...definitely no "liquid crap" as you so eloquently put it.
    I know what ya mean. I know this guy who must have 500,000 songs and albums on files and sticks and whatnot...and not a damn thing to look at. No album covers , no liner notes , no information , no nothing. Takes some of the fun out of it.

    I don't care, as long as I get the music. I personally have a preference to own the physical CDs, but if someone else prefers to be all digital, I'm not going to get worked up in a lather trying to convert them.

    It's the music itself that matters, something that many people here seem to forget.

    The physical releases that we get are greenlighted by the bandmembers, not Alan and Mark.

    I think that's why we almost got a physical release of Keep an Eye on Summer, and then didn't. And why we had a Party release but not Summer Days. And why we had no physical release for the Friends material. :shrug:

    I don't think anyone here has a problem with the way others choose to listen to their music. It's about exposure. These digital only releases may satisfy you completely by bringing you the music, but it won't enlighten anyone beyond the hardcore fans because it won't be seen on your local shelf at Barnes and Noble (or the Australian equivalent), nor reviewed beyond one or two publications, and it could vanish completely at any moment, the way the Big Beat '63 set did. It's ephemeral, and this music deserves better.

    Some of the fun?
    Every time Capitol releases a non physical format, I give them an honest salute!

    Endless Summer magazine's facebook page just posted "Coming soon!" along with the picture from the Sunflower album cover. Is this the time of year to roll out an archival set?
