Title: Is the SMiLE Sessions [disc 1] just an official fanmix, not a finished version? Post by: AaronReturn2005 on August 01, 2020, 01:29:55 PM This is all judging by the fact it follows a modified Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE structure, except not directly unlike most of the popular pre-Sessions/post-BWPS fanmixes back then, specifically Purple Chick's "stereo reconstruction".

But neither is or can be a "finished Beach Boys Smile album" ... Too many of the 1966-67 tracks lack vocals. The Elements will always be vague. A final, definitive version/mix of Heroes & Villains remains elusive. A vintage instrumental track of Surf's Up 2nd movement has never surfaced. I think that Mark & Alan did a wonderful job with TSS Disc 1, particularly doing things like "flying in" Brian's demo vocals for IIGS & Barnyard, but without lead vocals on CIFOTM or Worms and for a bunch of other reasons, it's always going to be unfinished. |
