Beach Boys – SMILE sessions

2. september 2011

Rygtet har svirret længe. Og nu er det en kendsgerning. Beach Boys’ herostatisk berømte ikke-udgivne album, “Smile”, kommer på gaden primo november. Eller rettere: Smile Sessions – de samlede indspilninger om det, der var tænkt som albummet Smile – udkommer. Pladen skulle have været efterfølgeren til klassikeren Pet Sounds, men endte på hylden i stedet for.

Smile Sessions kommer i to udgaver. En dobbeltcd-udgave med 41 optagelser. Og en boks indeholdende 5 CD’er, 2 LP’er og to singler. Plus en 60 siders bog, hvor alle de involverede har skrevet deres notater til optagelserne og omstændighederne. Så der er noget for almindelige fans og Beach Boys-nørder, der bare ikke kan få nok. Her er en oversigt over indholdet på de to udgivelser:

  1. Gowings kommentarer:

    Som jeg ser det hjælper det at være lidt nørdet. F.eks. skal man nok være ret glad for ‘Good Vibrations’ og ‘Heroes And Villains’ – det er jeg ogsÃ¥ men alligevel. Det ender nok med at jeg køber den og sÃ¥ bliver det en af dem der stÃ¥r i reolen til man opdager den en regnvejrsdag. :)

  2. capac kommentarer:

    @Gowings: Bokssættet er noget af en mundfuld. Jeg tror godt, jeg kan nøjes med dobbelt-CD’en. Men den skal jeg ogsÃ¥ have, efter alt den snak, der har været gennem Ã¥rene.

  3. Gowings kommentarer:

    Ja, for at være helt realistisk, sÃ¥ ender det nok med en dobbelt-CD…

  4. Klaus kommentarer:

    Hvad med en signeret limited edition udgave af boksen med mulighed for at tænde lys i Smile butikken? Kun $700:

    @ Klaus @Gowings: Man kunne selvfølgelig ogsÃ¥ “nøjes” med en af de bootleg, der cirkulerer derude i cyberspace! :D
