The long awaited release of the Brian Wilson and Beach Boys masterpiece, 'Smile' Sessions. First time, collected and compiled -- the band's legendary 1966-'67 sessions for the never-completed 'Smile' album.
In several sessions between the summer of 1966 and early 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, 'Smile', that was intended to follow the band's 1966 album, 'Pet Sounds'. The master tapes were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys' 'Smile' has never been released. Drawn from the original masters, 'Smile' Sessions presents an in-depth overview of The Beach Boys' recording sessions for the enigmatic album, which has achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world.
Artwork for the 'Smile Sessions' has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes' original 1967 LP sleeve art and booklet designs intended for the 'Smile' album. Three-dimensional shadow box lid featuring the original artwork of Frank Holmes. The Box Set measures 13" x 13" x 2.5". Includes 60-page case bound book features liner notes by: Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Frank Holmes, Peter Reum, Tom Nolan, and Dominic Priore. Also features: Timeline, Sessionography, Lyrics, Frank Holmes drawings, Producer's Notes, More than 60 previously unreleased photos. 6 panel folder holding 5 CDs and singles. Features photos of original session tape boxes.
