Brian Wilson's Smile Update
Published Saturday, 14th August, 2004 at 3:48 AM
The tracklisting for Brian Wilson's infamous Smile album has finally been revealed and given a September 27th release date.
Smile was an unreleased Beach Boys album which was recorded as the follow up to the band's influential Pet Sounds LP. However, recording of the album didn't go as planned and as such, Wilson scrapped the project. That is until now, where Wilson has re-recorded the tracks as they were originally intended to sound once finalised.
The final tracklisting contains 17 tracks, many of which appeared on the semi-finished Beach Boys album Smiley Smile, including one of their greatest hits, Good Vibrations, Heroes and Villians and Vega-tables.
Many bootleg versions of the lost classic have been available for years, but until now, no-one has known the correct running order, or indeed what the final versions would sound like. Smile will be released on September 27th through Nonesuch.
