The Beach Boys Releasing Box Set of Sunflower and Surf’s Up Sessions With 108 Rarities

In honor of 50 years of The Beach Boys’ timeless and often under-appreciated albums, Capitol/UMe will release an expansive 5CD and digital box set titled Feel Flows – The Sunflower and Surf’s Up Sessions 1969-1971 on July 30 that chronicles and explores in depth this metamorphic and highly influential 1969-1971 period of the band’s legendary career. Assembled by Mark Linett and Alan Boyd, the team behind 2013’s GRAMMY Award-winning SMiLE Sessions, the expansive collection features newly remastered versions of Sunflower and Surf’s Up and boasts 135 tracks, including 108 previously unreleased tracks, live recordings, radio promos, alternate versions, alternate mixes, isolated backing tracks and a capella versions, culled from the album sessions.

Housed in a book style package, the set is rounded out with a 48-page book loaded with unreleased and rare photos, lyric sheets, tape box images, recording artifacts, insightful new liner notes by noted radio veteran and Beach Boys afficionado Howie Edelson, and new and archival interviews from Al Jardine, Brian Wilson, Bruce Johnston, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, and others. Feel Flows will also be released in abbreviated versions including 4LP on both black vinyl and limited edition Translucent Blue and Translucent Gold color vinyl, 2LP black vinyl and 2CD editions.

Feel Flows is heralded today with the streaming debut of the unreleased gem, “Big Sur,” A beautiful sonic love letter to the central California coastal town of Big Sur, the lilting, pastoral folk tune that was originally recorded for Surf’s Up and has remained unreleased for more than five decades.

On July 16, Tina Turner will release the deluxe of FOREIGN AFFAIR

On July 16, Tina Turner will release the deluxe of FOREIGN AFFAIR, alongside vinyl, CD, and digital versions. As one of the biggest albums of the ‘80s, Foreign Affair showcased Tina Turner at her very best, further cementing her position as The Queen of Rock ‘n Roll.

Celebrated in this limited edition deluxe boxed set, FOREIGN AFFAIR (DELUXE EDITION) includes the original album fully remastered for the first time on CD1, with CD2 featuring a collection of B-sides, remixes, and a previously unheard demo of the Tina Turner classic, “The Best.” Across CD3 and CD4 is an iconic Tina Turner live show from Barcelona in 1990. In this exhilarating performance, Turner performs a number of her most-loved tracks, including “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” “Proud Mary,” “Private Dancer,” and many more. This electric performance is also available to watch on the DVD, as well as the six music videos from the album’s singles fully restored to HD.

Along with this amazing music, the deluxe edition contains a special, commemorative passport featuring a number of iconic photos of Turner, as well as a high-quality art card featuring photos from photographer Paul Cox. Also included is a booklet with brand-new liner notes from Holly Knight, the songwriter of “The Best,” “Be Tender With Me Baby,” “You Can’t Stop Me Loving You,” and “Ask Me How I Feel.”

The album will also be released on 2-LP white vinyl, exclusive to Dig!, and features the original album fully remastered and on 2-LP for the very first time. The album will also be available on black 2-LP from all other retailers, as well as digitally, and on 2-CD, featuring the original album fully remastered, as well as a collection of B-sides, remixes, and an unreleased demo of “The Best”; which is available to listen to here.

Foreign Affair was Turner’s third studio album since her dramatic global resurgence, following the monumental success of Private Dancer (1984) and Break Every Rule (1986), as well as her lead role in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. It went on to be a multi-platinum record across the world, including UK, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and many more. The biggest track to come from the album was the 80s anthem, “The Best.” The track continues to transcend generations, with one of the most recognizable choruses in music history. On top of “The Best,” the album is complimented by several Turner favourites, such as “Steamy Windows,” “I Don’t Wanna Lose You,” and the title track, “Foreign Affair.”

Tina Turner is revered around the world, inspiring millions through her own personal story, her singing, her dancing, and beyond. Her musical legacy is a collection of some of the best-known songs of all time, just utter the phrase “You’re simply the best” you’d be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn’t know the next line! She is one of the best-selling artists of all-time (200+million records), with multiple number 1s, platinum records across the world, 12 Grammy® Awards, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a star on both the Hollywood and St. Louis Walk of Fame, and most recently her second induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” on Musical Tesla Coils

Engineer Fabricio H. Franzoli accepted the challenge: Daft Punk’s Get Lucky on musical tesla coils!
