Camp California Soundtrack

[TheClash603]

Does anyone own the Camp California soundtrack?  I was playing Camp California today, and when I opened the case, I realized the advertisement for the soundtrack on the back of the instruction manual.

I would love to know what songs are on this thing...  anyone actually have it?

[hoobs88]

Probably just a bunch of Beach Boys songs.

Interesting question. 

After a quick jaunt through the interwebs and not finding any mention of it on various Beach Boy fan-sites and discography lists, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it was canceled; if it does exist, surely it at least has all the songs included in the game.

You already have it. Put the game CD in your audio CD player and press Play.

Whatever it is, where ever it is, I will pay $1000 for it. Even if its the CDROM game in a different case, for I am...a collector!

[TheClash603]

I assume there are a few Beach Boys songs, maybe the Camp California rap, and perhaps some of the rocking stage tunes?

It says it is already available, which makes me think it was released at the same time as the game.

Could this be the new holy grail of the TG16?

Really, what a lame-ass excuse for a holy grail that would be. I mean, paying more for Magical Chase than it costs to have a PC Engine LT is one thing, but a f*cking Camp California OST? Who could possibly give a shit?

...although...

I just re-read T.H. White's "The Once and Future King" a while back (totally great, btw) and in this version of the old story Arthur sends his knights on the quest for the grail (or whatever relics they can dig up) not because he actually gives a shit about them but because he had 100 knights who were basically violent rich guys with swords who would spontaneously kill themselves and others out of boredom from sitting around doing nothing all the time. In the end, the plan didn't work...but maybe it could work here.

If we could generate enough hype for stupid shit no sane person would care about (Holmes matchbook calculators, Camp California OSTs, Isuzu diesel cab overs, etc) then maybe the attention (and funds) would be drawn away from the actual games, and then normal sane people could go back to paying the $10-50 than a game should cost when they want to play one. Send these dumb f*cks with big credit cards on a pointless crusade!

Not sure where you got the idea I wanted to spend big bucks on this soundtrack, I don't recall ever saying that.  In fact, all though I love Camp California, there was definitely some sarcasm from me posting this being a holy grail.

Would I love the Camp Cali OST?  Yes.  Will I pay more than $30-40 for it?  No.

More importantly, why ruin a thread by going all crazy and ranting?

Don't worry, it's cheap.

Is that $3000 offer still good?

[SignOfZeta]

If its not L337 and R@R3, then its a worthless as tits on a chicken.

I just picked up a copy myself, thanks for the link.  I wanted to get 3 copies, 1 for myself to open, 1 to keep sealed, and 1 to give as a wedding gift...  but none of the non-amazon sellers can update quantities, so it would be $2.99 shipping per item...  WEAK!

[TheClash603]

Finally had a chance to listen to this bad boy...  key word bad.

The Beach Boys songs are all actually performed by the characters of Camp California.  Each of the songs has lyric changes, or lyrics added, such as Wipe Out.  There are also a few original songs, which were also terrible.  It seems as though the whole album should be preformed by mechanical bears on the stage of my favorite arcade from when I was a child.

In the end, the awfulness is just what I expected, and why I love it.  My girlfriend is in for a treat when we are in the car again tomorrow, so she can listen to these tunes.

Anyone else listen to the CD yet?  What did you think?

I'm waiting for my copy to arrive. I ordered it after Vestcoat provided a link to one for sale on Amazon.
