And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I am so glad Smile wasn't released with that cover, even if it meant the world having to wait another 39 years.

Yeah, Carl and Mike both have a weird evil Rasputin thing going on. Al has that goofy "I just smoked pot for the very first time" look. |

I love it - it is a perfect encapsulation of what Smile could and would have 'looked like' in the early '70s. For me, it's not a matter of what I would appreciate anno 2012; it is what things were in 1972, and as such it is spot on. |

love 'em! As ever with young master Hunt, genius. Just the one nit to pick: Lei'd In Hawaii would have been on Brother, not Capitol. Brother 9002, to be entirely anal about it. |

So we have no idea what the '72 SMiLE running order would've been?

Apparently no effort was made to sequence the thing - it seems Carl and Stephen Desper were stumped by it, and understandably so. |

On that bottom picture for the Hawaii Alternate cover album, the one with the guys with all of their shirts off...Carl just looks so fat. So does Brian. Mike and Dennis look pretty good, and obviously Dennis. But sheesh, the other two Wilsons were struggling...

The SMILE cover reminds me of this, also from 1972: I was gonna say it reminded me of CSNY's Deja Vu, for some reason, but yes! Definitely several people within the LA Scene suddenly thought that burgundy looked cool. |

That Lei'd In Hawaii mockup will undoubtedly be a bootleg CD cover. Same thing happened with Bruce Spizer's Hollywood Bowl Beatles mock-up, which he based partly on Something New and partly on Beach Boys Concert; a former Capitol employee said what he came up with is probably EXACTLY what Capitol would have done!
