Talk:Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of the Beach Boys

disc 6
ok, i never ever heard of disc 6 and i also can't find it on the internet, if we can't prove its existence we should take it out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.44.228.1 (talk) 18:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It was only included in European versions of the box set. MookieZ (talk) 21:49, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

First of all, if just someone can not find info on the internet, this doesn't mean it doesn't exist and therefore has to be erased from the page. Also, I have the 6 discs edition so i can easily confirm it does exist. If needed, I will upload a photo of the complete 6 discs set. Finally, if this 6 CD edition is not available in the US, that's a fact but the whole world should not be limited to North America.Aldejerph (talk) 11:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * A citation to an article or something, that describes the European edition, would make for a better overall article. As it is, it's surprising and confusing, with only a footnote that says "European edition only". I think finding a citation is necessary.

So what the heck is "H.E.L.P."?!?
"H.E.L.P. Is on the Way" redirects here.

Great. Something a Beach Boys fan might actually want to know -- as both "H.E.L.P. Is on the Way", and "Take a Load Off Your Feet" from the Surf's Up album refer to this mysterious "H.E.L.P." organization -- and he gets a list of surface information he already has, instead.

I've said it before: Wikipedia is not USA TODAY. It is an encyclopedia. We have the room and the freedom to be completist, and boring, and chock-full of facts that only a minority of people want to know. If two Beach Boys songs, that people actually listen to, refer to an organization called "H.E.L.P.", then it is our job to provide the knowledge of what that organization IS! Am I wrong?

The "Take a Load Off Your Feet" article is actually quite good, but missing this tantalizing bit of information.
