According the the 1966 backing track test mix, CFOTM is a complete 3 min song (without lead vocal) with a structure not too dissimilar to Cabin Essence.

and The Monks are better than The Velvet Underground. What's your point?

I think if you use the single mix of Rock N' Roll Music and It's Ok, and ditch Everyone's In Love With You/A Casual Look/Blueberry Hill and replace them with Sea Cruise/Ruby Baby/Mony Mony and FINALLY use the Dumb Angel bootleg alternate mixes for all the rest, you've got a pretty decent album. Not great, but so much better!

Like Bean Bag mentioned, 15 BO/Love You/Adult-Child should really be considered like some kind of trilogy. Id' even compare it to Neil Young's 70s ditch trilogy.

Never mind what was the original concept back in 1967, do you prefer to listen to SMiLE as a complete "suite" or mostly unrelated, "banded" tracks?

Personally, I prefer the tracks because it helps me to appreciate the greatness of each song with breaks in between them. Even though I love the '04 arrangement, it moves way too quickly for me.
 

Do you think it will see an official release someday?

To me, I compare it to liking/disliking modern art.

Some people say, "Stuff this, this isn't art!" but to others, art has to go somewhere else so the concept becomes the work.

This mix in particular reminds me a lot of Danger Mouse's The Grey Album.

If that music style isn't your bag, fine. IMO, this is art and therefore music.

I saw this post on The Flaming Lips' board.

The user foxtrot stowaway made a pretty amazing hip-hop remix of SMiLE called MiLES

Great mix, flows very well and I really dig your CFOTM but...
to me it isn't SMiLE as it would have been back then.

For years, iv'e made mixes after mixes after mixes of how SMiLE should go and iv'e found that the best way it to look at it is through "songs" and not side long "suites". For me, GV is a much a part of SMiLE as Sloop John B was on Pet Sounds. In this era, you had to give the record company a "hit" single. Brian was still making "normal" 60s records (with separate tracks on albums) and did so for the rest of his career with the Beach Boys. So it always confuse me as to why he would have gone full progressive mode with this album and making side-long suite. IMO, it always has been 12-13 modular songs, with fades, similar to what he created with Good Vibrations. Nothing more, nothing less.
 

1. Smile Sessions
2. Pet Sounds
3. Love You
4. Sunflower
5. Friends

Anyone has info on this bootleg? Who made the remix?
Except for the weird edits (added intros, pigs snorting in "Hey Little Tomboy"), the sound quality of this release is pretty fantastic! 

Thinking of the latter 70s songs (post Endless Summer), there's definitely some material that could have gone punk with the way their vocals were and the production value, songs like:
Let Us Go On This Way
Palisades Park
Sea Cruise
Friday Night
Mona
Almost Summer
Shortnin Bread (of course!)
Everybody Wants to Live
Rollin up to Heaven
What's Wrong
She's Got Rhythm
They're Marching Along
He's a Bum
Hey Little Tomboy (maybe it'd fit in better?)
Roller Skating Child
Under the Moonlight
We Gotta Groove
Ding Dang
Match point of Our Love
School Girl

Maybe these aren't the right type of tunes, I'm not a huge punk nut, but I was trying to hear these tunes in my head in a punk vibe...but in my opinion, these types of songs/lyrics would rock in a punk way.

You forgot the most punk song the BBs ever recorded  : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS_uO7hVOn8

Nice one, Nile! Pretty nice ending.

here's a little silly experiment I tried with the "California Feeling" demo.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e23xu1d0agodjql/CalifFeelMix.mp3

all of "Carry Me Home". What a song!

I tried to integrate the single version chorus but IMO it doesn't fit anywhere really except maybe as an intro instead of the "Bells & Whistles"... another mystery!

There you go, sir!
