SMiLE: Bring It On, Fanmixers.

I'll never understand why it is so quickly disregarded by so many fans on this board, BWPS notwithstanding.

It's not in Brian's handwriting, Brian claimed to have never seen it before, it's been said to just be a list of songs rather than a tracklist, it lists "Great Shape" as its own track for some odd reason, the playing order makes little sense and, to me, does not "work" at all in that order, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

I still wish The Smile Sessions Companion was a thing.

   Seems like we've been down this path before/ Of course, we don't really know what form IIGS would have have taken, but we do at least have a recording of BW demo-ing it for someone followed by Barnyard. Would a track named IIGS, as it was at one time considered, ultimately include Barnyard? Maybe. Would such a concoction constitute a complete track? Maybe. I think one thing we'll agree on is that whether the list "works" or not, that is completely subjective.

Aw man, I'm sorry for being a repetitive ASS.

(Please don't mistake that as sarcasm.)

I think he's saying it's disrgarded by fans because it's merely a list - not even written by Brian - of songs that he'd been working on during that time period and isn't really a track list of any sort. Hence the infamous "see label for correct playing order." If Brian had written the list, I imagine it might be used more often. As it is, it's just something someone scribbled out to get the covers printed.

Also, I think it really stacks the front side and then causes the second side to trail off a bit. How is anything supposed to follow the run of "Heroes and Villains," "Surf's Up," "Good Vibrations," and "Cabin Essence"?
