Special release for the "all things Beach Boys" fan or collector
2x CD's with multiple "takes" during their recording sessions in 1961 & 1962
The presentation of this digipak is immaculate, always having been in a "self seal" cellopack which has only been opened twice, the first time when we received it and the 2nd time, today so I could take some photographs and take one last listen.
THE BEACH BOYS - Becoming The Beach Boys: The Complete Hite & Morgan Sessions
Omnivore Recordings
Cat# OVCD-186
2016
USA release
I have stated that this package and the CD's inside are "as new" for a good reason, we have only had it out of the cellowrap seal sealing packet twice, details are above about these two times. The digipak is very clean, no creasing, no damage to the seams or the CD hub clamps and of course both CD's are completely unscratched or marked ... all things you would expect from a package that has seen very little play time.
Tri-fold digipak, including the inner booklet, is in very good (plus) condition. No personal writing, no seam splits, no damage to any of the CD hub clamps, no corner creasing and no damage to any of the cover graphics.
Both CD media are also in very good condition, meaning that I have visually inspected each CD under a white halogen light source and I can see absolutely no scratches or marks (including finger prints!) at all. For just one last time (actually only the second time in it's life!) I played both CD's ENTIRELY, every single track, and there are absolutely no issues with playback of course.
I have taken a few photographs and then reinserted the package into the cellowrap outer packet.
Please understand that this is a nostalgic recording collection of The Beach Boys in their early days, with a "blow by blow" record of each song presented along with demo versions, multiple takes, overdubs and final "master" versions. Many of these recordings are in "glorious" monoaural sound, not stereo
