This is one of the few recent releases that I have played on vinyl LP, streaming, and most recently as a Christmas-present CD.<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough to have won the 3 LP version last month from a chat with Endless Summer Quarterly<\/em> magazine and Oglio Records!\u00a0 Besides the LP\"JT I also won a 2000-era autographed promo picture of Brian, which is so precious in the year that Brian passed.\u00a0 I haven’t bought a vinyl album in a long time–the best part is that the art and liner notes are just amazing to look at in the larger form factor!\u00a0 The 2 CD set has the same notes, but they are definitely harder to read.\u00a0 Streaming, of course, gives you NO notes.<\/p>\n

The other thing to remark upon is the number of tracks. One of the reasons I wanted the CD set is that it has the most number of tracks. Vinyl, of course, can’t fit as many minutes of audio on six sides as you can in 2 CDs. I think a savvy decision was made to limit the songs on the streaming album, which makes sense for the record company.<\/p>\n

I wanted the extra songs–they are from other non-Roxy live performances\u00a0 and for a “Brianista,” must haves.<\/p>\n

If you’re a casual fan of the Beach Boys, listen to this set and marvel at how Brian could perform so well after all he had lived through.\u00a0 I was blessed to see him live several times and this set is a good reminder about what those early tours were like.<\/p>\n
