I'm getting excited, not even because of the specifics of that live track being released, but that something is finally being released. I actually wondered whether this box was going to be lost in the mix of 60th-related activities and releases, but obviously that hasn't happened: we're still waiting to see what, if anything, is yet to come on that front.
So the SoS box gets center stage. Huzzah!

This rocks! Great guitar, bass, and keyboards. And lead vocal by Carl. Anybody know who was playing what on this track?

Well, it's been nearly a decade since I've felt the need to get a big multiple disc boxset, but I think I'm making an exception here.

This looks fantastic. I'm going to be getting the big CD set. Several more of those long-known titles, too, not to mention presumably better sounding versions of a few that have been out there. And the full concert? Very exciting in general.
Have to call out something from the press release, though.
"For the first time in their careers, new members were brought into the fold: guitarist/bassist Blondie Chaplin and drummer Ricky Fataar – two former members of the Carl Wilson-produced South African group The Flame, who were signed to the band's Brother Records – officially joined the group after serving as their main support act."
Re-read what comes before that colon. They added new members for the first time? What about Bruce Johnston?

And, either Al or David were once considered "new", but I guess that's nitpicking.

I noticed that one too, while prepping the press release for posting to the BBFC website. That's an inaccurate statement, so we're not using that bit.

I've listened to the five disc version on Spotify a few times, and didn't think it warranted the price to get a physical copy.

Here are some of the tracks I am most excited about. There's something on every disc. I still wish there were a full remix of both albums, but there are some goodies in there regardless, to be sure. CD1 9. The Road Not Taken (demo - previously unreleased) 10. All This Is That (a Cappella mix - previously unreleased) 11. He Come Down (2022 mix - previously unreleased)
CD 2
17. Hard Time (previously unreleased) 18. Carry Me Home (previously unreleased) 19. California Saga - The Beaks Of Eagles (1973 single mix - previously unreleased)
CD 3 THE BEACH BOYS LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL (Previously Unreleased)
CD 4 THE BEACH BOYS LIVE AT CARNEGIE HALL (Previously Unreleased)
CD 5
4. Here She Comes (2022 mix - previously unreleased)
7. Steamboat (track and backing vocals - previously unreleased)
9. The Trader (track and backing vocals - previously unreleased) 10. The Trader (second section a Cappella - previously unreleased)
12. Funky Pretty (track and backing vocals - previously unreleased) 13. Sail On Sailor (songwriting session - previously unreleased) 14. Sail On Sailor (a Cappella mix - previously unreleased) 15. Out In The Country (version 1) (previously unreleased) 16. Out In The Country (version 2) (previously unreleased) 17. Oh Sweet Something (previously unreleased) 18. Spark in the Dark (previously unreleased track) 19. Rooftop Harry (previously unreleased track) 18. Body Talk (Grease Job) (previously unreleased track)
CD 6
7. Fairy Tale Music (2022 mix - previously unreleased) 8. Pa Let Her Go Out (Better Get Back In Bed alternate version with intro - previously unreleased) 9. I'm The Pied Piper (a Cappella section - previously unreleased) 10. Radio King Dom (a Cappella section - previously unreleased) 11. I'm The Pied Piper (alternate take spoken section – previously unreleased) 12. Medley: Mount Vernon and Fairway Theme / A Casual Look (session excerpt – previously unreleased)
13. Little Child (Daddy Dear) (Holland home recording) 14. Susie Cincinnati (Holland home recording) 15. Medley: Gimme Some Lovin' / I Need Your Love
17. California Saga - The Beaks of Eagles (2022 edit – previously unreleased)
20. All This Is That (a Capella alternate verse – previously unreleased)
After some of the previously unreleased songs, maybe what I'm most excited about are "The Beaks of Eagles" single mix and 2022 edit. I don't know what to expect with those, but I've always really liked the song and disliked the recitation. So I'm curious whether either of the above remedies that for me.

You passed on Feel Flows? I got the two disc version. I've listened to the five disc version on Spotify a few times, and didn't think it warranted the price to get a physical copy. It's very rare for me to invest in those big boxes. I just don't have that much time for listening anymore. After an hour or so, my tinnitus really starts bothering me - and if I listen to the music at a very low volume, I miss too many of the details. So a two cd set is perfect for me. I just pulled out Sunshine Tomorrow a few nights ago, first time in probably three years. Loved it.

Still - I’m not really sure I’m going to pre purchase SOS like I did Feel Flows. It’s going to be on Apple Music - so I can give it a listen there. I’d frankly prefer to get a hard copy of Sunshine Tomorrow. I have listened to it enough on Apple Music to know I want my own copy in case I ever cancel Apple Music. I do have Sunshine Dream on vinyl. Love it!
