And Amazon U.K. reacts with what appears to be a spiteful act of self-sabotage:Deluxe vinyl: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has increased from £129.43 to £149.99” U.K. Amazon CD deluxe creeps back up…: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has increased from £97.32 to £98.47” … while vinyl deluxe drops, though to nowhere near its all-time low of £109.41: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £149.99 to £128.36” Amazon UK is obviously keeping tabs on you keeping tabs, John!

But John, think of it this way, with the current rate of inflation in the UK, if that decreases another 10p next week, by then £100 won't even buy you a bag of crisps...

“Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £100.23 to £100.18”
This price drop must have been named after Jerry Schilling!

It's called "being a fan", which patently you are not. All you do here is bitch, moan and complain. That's my job. Whose views ? Why, everyone you've ever read. as far as I can tell, I’m like literally the only person here who gives the slightest rats ass about atmos mixes… Also, please don’t take this the wrong way, but the more in more you speak the more you sound like an unhinged Facebook conspiracy theorist. “Stop parroting bro, learn the facts and stop being a sheep.” But instead of “stop the steal” it’s “stop the Atmos mixes”. Also, you claim to be a historian… But Why does a historian have such a drastic interest in making sure nobody learns the history of the very subject he's an "expert" on? It’s baffling, if it’s part of the history, you’re the historian, you’re the one that supposed to inform us of stuff like this. So… What’s the history? And if it’s something secret that you can’t say… Why even bring it up in the first place? We could’ve avoided this entire conversation. Because he enjoys seizing upon such moments to elevate himself while attempting to diminish others. Remember sonny, you are being berated by the man who invented The Beach Boys.

I think Matthew is quite capable of defending himself without your assistance, thank you.

Oh I think I’ve said everything I can about that particular subject… On a different note, “Gimme Some Lovin’” is still incredible

Three formats slithering down slightly on (as ever) Amazon UK. They need to slither much further still:
Superdeluxe CD version: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £100.13 to £100.01” (Lowest to date was £97.32)
Big bad vinyl version: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £124.59 to £124.56” (Lowest to date was £109.41) Tiny wee vinyl version: “Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £49.19 to £43.45” (Lowest to date was £34.71)

Incredibl...y unique. Incredibl...y cool to hear a Brian song that had never been bootlegged. Incredibl...y neat to hear more of the short-lived Wilson-Sandler collaboration. Incredible to hear exactly what he was referring to in Words and Music when he talked about digging up an old 70s bassline for Walkin the Line.

I think Matthew is quite capable of defending himself without your assistance, thank you. I believe you are correct. I inserted myself in an exchange of views that had nothing to do with me whatsoever. Not sure why I do that occasionally, but it happens. I will refrain from contributing again until I can do so without causing drama or discomfort. Wishing everyone the best. We're all here because we love music of The Beach Boys - the joy it brings the world is what really matters.

I sort of wonder why this thread has not been closed by now-the title of this thread was outdated months ago and the thread is on page 63! What do you think?

We generally don’t close threads, except when personal attacks take place. If I did close it where would John go to post the daily price changes?😉

There's no reason a long-time Beach Boys fan like yourself should refrain from posting in this forum. I encourage you to keep hanging out with us (and stay within the guardrails of course).

”Sail On Sailor 1972 has decreased from £100.01 to £99.89” because of the exchange rate! Pretty soon it’ll be worth two still-born lambs and a four pack of Castlemaine 4X!

If I did close it where would John go to post the daily price changes?😉 Perhaps you could break off the daily price changes into a separate thread, so if someone actually posts something about the contents of the box set, I'd like to read it. As it is now, I've haven't been reading this thread anymore, because I don't care what the price is. I already bought it the day it came out, and the price doesn't matter anymore.

What do you think, John? Spin off the daily price changes to a new thread or abort the mission here?

No problem whatsoever with that though it’s been a while since anyone commented on anything much other than the pricing!
