	Brian Wilson :: Official Web Site
		Smile was composed in 1966 in a rapture of creative invention after Brian had freed the Beach Boys from their hard-driving manager father, Murry Wilson, an act of Oedipal self-assertion which helped propel the emotionally volatile young maestro over the edge.
		The Smile that the Festival Hall heard could never have been the Smile of 1966, and to fans the point is that, until now, they have been free to imagine their own version, a record of unparalleled and numinous beauty that would have changed musical history.
		Smile was summarily abandoned, its demise hastened when Wilson felt that by recording a piece called Fire he had precipitated a rash of conflagrations in the vicinity of the studio.

	Smile (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crucial to the inception of Smile was Wilson's collaboration with singer, musician, composer and lyricist Van Dyke Parks, whom Wilson invited to write lyrics for the new album in spring 1966; at that time the project was still provisionally titled Dumb Angel.
		Smile's cut-up structure was certainly unique for its time in mainstream popular music, and it indicates that Brian was familiar with the techniques of musique concrète and the use of chance operations in making art—an approach which, according to musicologist Ian MacDonald, was also exerting a strong influence on The Beatles at this time.
		He was by then beginning to exhibit early signs of depression and paranoia and it is reported that during the recording session for the "Fire" section of the "Elements Suite" on 28 November he became irrationally concerned that the music was responsible for starting several fires in the neighborhood of the studio.

		It was one of the most talked-about albums in the rock press in late 1966 and early 1967, and reports from journalists who visited Brian in the studio largely confirmed the expectations that this would be one of the most amazing recordings ever.

		The album was not totally accepted by the American public but was accepted by overseas fans in England where the Beatles attended a Pet Sounds listening party upon the release of the album.
		This album is a very good album however it was a simply version of some of the same songs and other songs but it went back to the basics like the Beatles would do later with The White Album.
		Well anyway this is the basic background of the legend of this era and this famous album and now you may go on to see all the versions of the album which have been made and all the artwork which was made for the album.

	Holy Pop Relic - Why Brian Wilson should leave the unfinished Beach Boy masterpiece Smile alone. By Jeff Turrentine
		The story of how Smile came not to be has, over time, taken on the aura of parable: It's the story of the emotionally fragile genius beset by knaves, forced to abandon his magnum opus rather than allow it to be compromised.
		Smile, as it exists now in a half-realized state, is really the first interactive rock 'n' roll artwork, graciously allowing the listener to finish the songs, to order them according to personal taste, and to invent an overarching concept that might have unified and made sense of Parks' cavalcade of trippy images.
		But perhaps the best case for allowing the album to remain unfinished is this: Smile, had it ever been released, would have been a watershed musical moment not only because it was so new, but because the Beach Boys, of all bands, were putting it out.

		With the great news that mythical SMiLE album will finally be heard live played by Brian Wilson, we are dedicating part of this issue of EAR CANDY to a few of the fan mixes of SMiLE that are out there.
		I'm glad now that I'm able to pass on 'Smile' to people as something they can put in their CD players and listen to, rather than just telling them about the idea or playing pieces of it.
		Any notion of furthering the idea of 'Smile' being the near masterpiece it may have been is one I'm happy to continue (as well as 'Pet Sounds' being the masterpiece that 'is').

	Smiley Smile IS SMiLE - Rock 'N Roll Case Study
		There have been speculations on whether Smile was to be a “concept album” or not, Domenic Priore even suggesting the theory of the Smile album as something of a continuous song cycle with “link tracks” between songs, a theory that has since been heavily criticized.
		Smile might not have been a “concept album”, but when considering the amount of “laughter” that occur in several songs on Smiley Smile, it is tempting to call IT a "concept album".

		Had it been completed in 1966 as planned, "Smile," the Beach Boys' legendary unreleased album, would have begun with a song called "Prayer": a minute and a half of wordlessly angelic brotherly harmony, pure and rising.
		The band's leader, Brian Wilson, called "Smile" his "teenage symphony to God," and despite the mess that his abandoned masterpiece became, there's no mistaking "Prayer." The song is an invocation.

		The band's leader, Brian Wilson, called "Smile" his "teenage symphony to God," and despite the mess that his abandoned masterpiece became, there's no mistaking "Prayer." The song is an invocation.
		Those fan versions, along with the many promises of "Smile's" true completion -- it was a stipulation of the band's contract with Reprise Records in the early '70s, and tracks were unearthed for a possible touch-up in the late '80s -- make it difficult to know what tense to describe the album in.
		The past ("Smile" contained several ambitious song-suites co-written with lyricist Van Dyke Parks...) is too etched in stone for an album never finished; the present ("Smile" is rock's first concept album, pre-dating "Sgt. Pepper"...) too inaccurate.

	SMiLE - Brian Wilson - Music Reviews
		The white whale of '60s record-making, the Beach Boys' aborted SMiLE album gradually gained a legend that not only inflated its rumored importance and complexity, but gave credence to an odd notion -- that completing it, then or ever, was impossible.
		For the first time ever, the program for SMiLE was compiled, after Brian Wilson first listened to the original recordings with his musical midwife, Darian Sahanaja of the Wondermints (which has long functioned as Wilson's live backing band), and then worked them into a live show and album recording.
		Since Wilson himself was previously the most opposed to SMiLE appearing in any form, it's a considerable shock that this new recording justifies even half of the promise that fans had attached to it.

		Celine Dion's "Bewitched" may be the album's single best track, a lovely fusion of her own style and the vocal pop stylings of the film's era.
		Dion's sister diva Barbra Streisand doesn't fare quite as well with her version of "Smile"; her voice sounds as good as ever, but the song's languid pacing and the gooey strings make it sound syrupy instead of affecting.
		Even though the soundtrack is occasionally contrived, Mona Lisa Smile still has enough charming moments to appeal to fans of the film as well as fans of the artists on the soundtrack.

		Alas, things got a bit off-track along the way, and for reasons too numerous to go into here, the album known as Smile was never officially released, though bits of it would surface here and there for years to come.

		Upon their return from the tour, the group met the album with mixed feelings, arguing that SMiLE's obscure lyrics and insanely dense compositions strayed too far from the norm to be considered for release.
		The SMiLE master tapes remained unheard until 1988, when Capitol engineer Mark Linett was given access to the master tapes and compiled a selection of session tapes and mixes that are believed to be the source of most SMiLE bootlegs circulated to this day.
		As a result, arguments have surged for close to 40 years over the album's playing order, tracklist, and which versions of songs uncovered from the sessions were meant for album inclusion.

	Brian Wilson finally makes us ‘Smile’ - ALBUM REVIEWS - MSNBC.com
		Wilson’s nervous breakdown and the subsequent decades of regeneration have been well documented. ‘Smile’, and the recording sessions became legend — the most famous album never to be released.
		That’s the history behind Tuesday’s release, but no one can prepare you for what this album sounds like. Don’t forget, this is basically what was going through Wilson’s mind nearly 40 years ago — as filtered through his mind today. There’s lots of revisionist stuff inside — but somehow it all works beautifully.
		Wilson and his band are going to be performing 'Smile' live in a limited number of venues in the next few weeks. I hope to be among those lucky few who will get to hear it. I hope you are too.

		One of the greatest mysteries of Smile was at least partially solved with the release of the Endless Harmony Heroes and Villains demo, where a section included the lyrics "eggs and grits and lickety split, I?m in the great shape of the open (upper?) country" before leading into Barnyard.
		In Smile 2004 a newly discovered 1966 lyric was used for the first verse, the Bicycle Rider and "ribbon of concrete" chorus lyrics were used, and the "West or East Indies" verse was dropped.
		Smile 2004's Elements suite was comprised of IIGS/IWBA/FN, Vegetables, Holiday, Wind Chimes, Intro to H and V, Fire (with Fall Breaks vocals over it), Water Chant (with spoken lyrics), and I Love to Say Dada with new lyrics about Blue Hawaii, waterfalls, and getting a drink.
