Dear Mr. Linett:
If you already answered this question somewhere else in this thread or on this board, I apologize ... but I recently finished reading the latest Brian Wilson biography "Catch A Wave" and the detailed sections concerning "Smile" intrigued me yet again.
So I have to ask - do you know the status of or any plan by Capitol Records (or any other label) to release a boxed set of the Smile sessions? With Brian's release of the re-recorded Smile and, perhaps more tellingly, the existence of the Sea of Tunes bootleg versions of the Smile sessions - it seems obvious that a version of the album existed that was pretty close to being completed. Or at least enough of the tracks and backing tracks were finished to compile into a boxed set - a la the "Pet Sounds" box.
I know the seemingly never-ending litigation between existing BB members probably makes the eventual release of such a set just a fantasy, but I think it's something we'd all like to see come true. Can you shed any light on that possiblity?
