I can't wait for it! I find that a lot of people I know who are at least
SOMEWHAT interested aren't scouring the internet for the best bootlegs.
What's the harm in releasing it?

Yeah, if money was the motivation then they've missed the boat there
given
the state of the music business. Also it should have come out before
Brian's
version, it's impact has been lessened.

Having said that, even with the Brian/Wondermints version, it is well
worth
hearing these original recordings. They have an atmosphere and sound
that,
for all that they tried to copy the arrangements, simply isn't there in
the
new version. I can't believe that most Beach Boys fans aren't excited
about
finally having this stuff properly released.
