As you can see from the above, no-one would've been satisfied. Even without the whiners, look at this board and see how many people would drop tracks from this album or that one, knowing that there were others recorded at the time that could be used as replacements. And when that wasn't the case, who cares? Take a track from another album! Then you take SMiLE with the knowledge of all those variations recorded. Do you really think people would've accepted it as the last word? Not even for a 66 version. Not for a minute.

"Unfortunately the same thing happens to the slavery era, in US history. People always judge it by our politically correct standards of today." Yeah, because slavery was such a good thing...

Have I done this? Months ago? Years ago?
Anyhow, I won't count Smile or any of the live stuff:
POB BW88 TLOS Bambu Postcard (the final version, unless he's going to bring out another one... ) Gershwin Imagination OCA WIRWFC Carl Wilson Like a Brother (I know: not structly solo...) GIOMH Youngblood Disney Going Public - at least three songs on here are way better than anything on LBWL LBWL
If I had t include the boots:
POB BW88 TLOS Bambu Paley Sessions Postcard (the final version, unless he's going to bring out another one... ) Gershwin Imagination OCA WIRWFC First Love Carl Wilson Like a Brother (I know: not structly solo...) GIOMH Sweet Insanity Youngblood Unleash the Love Disney Going Public - at least three songs on here are way better than anything on LBWL Country Love LBWL

No quality control. They were still on an oldies kick and they shelved some of the better new songs. As it stands, LA is reasonably pleasant with three standout tracks (Angel Come Home, Baby Blue and Love Surrounds Me - thank Christ Mike didn't think of that title), one pretty good one (Good Timin') and a couple of decent ones amongst the rest. Thank God we escaped Brian's Back and calendar Girl, however.

I can't be arsed to do the whole rank thing, but there are three or four songs on it that I love but too much flippant stuff, often courtesy of the painfullly self-referential and downright dumb lyrics or the occasional heavy-handed production, to qualify it as a 'classic'. However, I think From There To Back Again, a least, is a stone cold classic. I'd go with AGD and say it's their best since Holland (excepting Love You). However, because of the lyrics, some tracks wouldn't be amiss on SIP, which is not a good thing.
