Some of the article is glaringly inaccurate however, they seem to think Surf's Up was written after SMiLE was abandoned.
Mike's interview is full of revisionism as well. Now my opinion of Mike-has softened in recent years, (I was taken in by the Hate Mike Love campaign in the early 90's), but Mike, just admit it, you didn't like it, you didn't want change. There's nothing wrong with that, it's understandable. We empathise Mike.....we really do, but be truthful. Don't go down Elton's route, don't have a hair transplant. Be true to yourself. We know you named Pet Sounds, but
we know you hate SMiLE

Given the author, if that's the biggest error I'd be surprised.

Fair enough there are factual errors, but less in the actual interviews one would hope unless the interviewer is maliciously misquoting.
A new quote from Al saying GV was to be Smile's lead off single is definitely note-worthy, no?

Doesn't lead-off single just mean the first single released from the album?

I always thought it'd be slotted on Side 2, track 1, like they do with some singles.

Well I think this is the general consensus, backed up by its position in that slot on Smiley. I think the other argument against GV filling the side A track 1 slot is that by the time of Smile's release GV would've been older news.
However, I hear no better track to follow Our Prayer with, and so, at the time of that OP session where Brian describes it as a little opener to the album, I think he was intending GV as the lead track.
I also think (contrary to those that find it at odds with Smile) it is an excellent introduction to the Smile album: It's still grounded grounded in reality with its familiar r&b/doo wop hooks and boy/girl theme, but there's a sense of passing through the looking glass as the tune shifts into its various psychedelic phases, setting the scene for the weirder songs to follow ...

If you consider the original planned release, January 1967, GV wouldn't have been that old, only being available on Single for 3 months. That wouold certainly have been relatively timely.

Having heard the MOJO versions, i can't possibly top what's been said about Cabinessence, but I don't really hear much of a difference except in Carl's (lack of) ADT. Mike's lead doesn't seem louder, Dennis' bit doesn't really seem louder. Crisper perhaps. But i'll bear in mind i've only heard mp3s. Carl and Mike do sing their butts off though, i'll give them that.
As for Wonderful, I have a"friend of a friend" who has a version of Wonderful with the yodelling bvs but minus Brian's lead.
So... was "my friend's" version made by stripping Brian's lead from the tape (don't get technical on me), in the same way that we have multiple SOT versions of H&V with the vocal takes seemingly being "layered up"? Or have ML and AB created a new "kitchen sink" mix by flying in some bvs from a different take (a la Beatles Anthology? of which I am a big fan, despite others' opinions on the matter).
Or is it something else entirely?
I guess these mixes will be on the Box Set, but it looks like MOJO weren't granted permission to have some of the really revelatory stuff...just a couple of the "barely tweaked" versions to generate some fanbase excitement/discussion. Job done.

January 1967 was the second release date: original plan was for the Christmas market.

Well, there you go, then! The Christmas market would be November into December, with ads starting in October, so it should have been timed for an almost simultaneous release of the 45 and LP. And it fits the sound perfectly.

I don't think GV sounds at odds with the rest of Smile, but i don't see it as an album opener. I see it as leading off Side 2 in the way that Sloop John B does on Pet Sounds.

Some of the article is glaringly inaccurate however, they seem to think Surf's Up was written after SMiLE was abandoned.
I suppose that much of the production of it at least was finished in 1971. Apparently Brian came up with 'A childeren's song, won't you listen as they play...' on the spot. Did he remember something from 1967? If not, could that be considered finishing the song? What about Cabinessence? Some words and vocals were added in the backround in 1969. Or at least recorded.
Perhaps, the fact that they mixed recordings from the original Smile sessions with recordings from 69/71, that it could be considered finishig the song. Then there is Cool Cool Water which has never been thought of as a Smile song, only adding to a Smile section.

went to Barnes and Noble, but the shelves were filled with the old issue. Said they get deliveries on Monday and Thursday, and maybe it would be in there.
But really the guy seemed less than bright, so it's anyone's guess when a new MOJO may show up here.

Just to reiterate/expand upon what somebody else said. The phrase "lead-off single", in reference to an album, is just the primary 45/A-side that promotes the initial release of the album. It has got absolutely nothing to do with the track order on an LP. Back in the 'Smile' days these would be released just before, or on the same day as the LP. Sometimes they would be originals not on the album they were promoting (UK). Other times they were either just the same recording found on the LP, or a different edit/take/mix of said song (US).
For a long time now, however, it hasn't been unusual for the "lead single" of an album to be released as early as 3 months before the album...

GV is the opening track on my SMiLE mix... if it needs to be included at all.
It's obviously a strong track to open with, you get it out of the way, and Our Prayer sounds heavenly coming after it.

Am I the only one who does not want to hear any of this stuff until the whole package is released? I haven't listened to any Smile music since the announcement was made, because I want to be as blown away as is possible when I put CD1 into my player and hit |>.
I'm with you to a point. I stopped listening to Smile stuff shortly after the announcement (in March?).
Then I reasoned with myself that BWPS wasn't actually the original sessions and was therefore fair game to listen to.
Now with these two tracks I had no choice but to listen as they are technically part of the boxset release!
However I'm finding they're all I listen to and I'm in danger of burning them out already so maybe back to the Smile ban for me*
*except BWPS (see above)

I can't get it out of my head how these reported mistakes and inaccurate bits of information managed to make it to this magazine and into readers' hands without someone editing the content.
Not to take it out on everyone involved because I have not seen it with my own eyes, but I've seen some of the most passionate, accurate, and informative writing on Smile and the Smile-era in general offered for free, coming from authors and writers (pro, semi-pro, and amateur) whose connection to the music is more honest than those hired to write columns full of factual errors and historical blunders. Mistakes happen, sure, and everyone is human, but it is hard to top some of the writing I have seen posted online. That is a testament to the devotion and knowledge of those fans who have added more to the Smile legacy than some people would give them credit.

went to Barnes and Noble, but the shelves were filled with the old issue. Said they get deliveries on Monday and Thursday, and maybe it would be in there.
But really the guy seemed less than bright, so it's anyone's guess when a new MOJO may show up here.
So, I went again today, and they have a new MOJO issue, but NO 60's special; and of course they're less than knowledgable as to whether they'll even be getting copies. Called Borders and they offered much the same info. "Good Luck!" she said.
So I wonder where usens in the USA can buy it...( if at all, other than mail-order)

I do expect to see it in Borders and Barnes & Noble, but it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't show up in those stores for another 3 or 4 weeks. At this point, though, I'm not sure I still care very much. From all accounts, the issue is a disappointment, and the Cab/Wonderful 45 is pretty much the only reason to bother with it. The 45 is a nice collectible, and I might grab one if I see it. If not, the same tracks will undoubtedly be on our forthcoming CDs.
