What is your Smile Track Listing?

[HeroesandVillains]

While The Smile Sessions has a track listing almost identical to BWPS, What is your personal track listing for Smile?

Mine is as follows:

Side 1:

0) Our Prayer (Unlisted)                                        
1) Heroes And Villains                                              
2) Rock Plymouth Roll (Do You Like Worms?)          
3) Barnyard    
4) The Old Master Painter                                                             
5) He Gives Speeches
6) Look!
7) Cabin Essence

Side 2:

8 ) Good Vibrations
9) I Wanna Be Around/Workshop
10) Vega-Tables
11) Wonderful
12) Wind Chimes
13) Fire
14) Child Is The Father Of The Man
15) Surf's Up
16) You're Welcome (Unlisted)





I haven't included Holidays as I don't know where it would really fit into the album. Ditto with I'm In Great Shape.

[buddhahat]

The disc one TSS sequence works for me!

I was never satisfied with any personal sequence so it was a relief when the officially sanctioned version came out. It flows fine for me.

But if that's too pedestrian for the thread, I have been known to move I Wanna Be Around & Vegetables so that IWBA follows Fire   

[HeroesandVillains]

Yeah. The track listing on TSS works fine but I'm not a big fan of the whole suite stuff they have going on. It's criminal in my eyes to not have Surf's Up be the last track

[jiggy22]

I can only listen to it as a two-sided, 12 track album nowadays.

Side A:
1). Our Prayer
2). Heroes and Villains
3). Do You Like Worms?
4). Wonderful
5). I'm in Great Shape (IIGS/Barnyard/OMP)
6). Cabin-Essence

Side B:
1). Good Vibrations
2). Vega-Tables
3). Wind Chimes
4). Mrs. O'Leary's Cow
5). Child is Father of the Man
6). Surf's Up
7). You're Welcome (Hidden Track)

Unfortunately, "Look", "Holidays", "Workshop", and "I Love to Say Dada" were nixed to keep it as close to an actual LP record as possible.

[beacharg]

Mine is:

"You are Welcome" as opener (I see a lot of you guys use it at the end, it's shocking to me because after all, it's a welcome song Plus it begins with a great fade-in).
+
The TSS tracklist
+
"Tune X" as the closing track, it works great as a goodbye song.

[Summertime Blooz]

I know we've had threads like this before, but I'll play along. After a lot of years I've gotten to a place where I am satisfied with my sequencing. Until something new is unearthed (I believe in my heart there is more to come) I feel like this is Smile for me (all stereo). It mostly follows the order of the December '66 Capitol memo.

Side 1
(Prayer)
1)Worms (with insert of Holidays a la BWPS' On A Holiday)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWCh80PqEes
goes right into
2)H&V (a 5:46 Cantina version)
(George Fell Into His French Horn)
3)Surf's Up (without CIFOTM ending)
4)Good Vibrations (a 5:28 extended version)    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ef0H1Tl7Js
5)Cabin Essence

Side 2
(He Gives Speeches)
1)Wonderful
goes right into
2)CIFOTM comprised of Look(seltaeb's edit with vocals)/CIFOTM
3)Wind Chimes (with Whispering Winds fade)
4)The Elements comprised of LTSD Second Day-Air/Mrs, O'Leary-Fire (no H&V intro)/LTSD-Water (no chant)/IWBA & Workshop- Earth    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JYwBNIPRAQ
(Brian Falls Into A Piano)
5)Vega-Tables
(H&V Reprise)
6)IIGS comprised of IIGS/Barnyard/IIGS/Do A Lot (with whistling)/IIGS/With Me Tonight
goes right into
7)The Old Master Painter comprised of TOMP/YWMS /My Children Were Raised/Barnshine

It runs about 57 minutes.

[Jeff]

"You are Welcome" as opener (I see a lot of you guys use it at the end, it's shocking to me because after all, it's a welcome song Plus it begins with a great fade-in).

I agree with this.  I can certainly see not using it, but I've never understood how anyone would think it's appropriate at the end.

And the YW fade-in works really well as an opener, in my opinion, vs. Prayer, which just hits you over the head, and is much better near or at the end.

Is it possible to share this mix?
Tnx!

[HeroesandVillains]

It's really a fantasy mix. Like if this real then it would be the best thing ever but I am afraid that I have no audacity or audio editing skills :/. Sorry man

[Chocolate Shake Man]

I think here is where I'm at with it these days:

1. Our Prayer
2. Do You Like Worms?
3. Cabin Essence
4. Child is Father of the Man
5. Heroes and Villains
6. I'm in Great Shape
7. OMP/You are My Sunshine

1. Good Vibrations
2. Wonderful
3. Vega-Tables
4. Fire
5. Wind Chimes
6. Surf's Up

[PetSmile]

Is there any real evidence that Surf's Up was intended to be the closing track?

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Is there any real evidence that Surf's Up was intended to be the closing track?

I don't think so but due to its sound and its content, I'm not sure what could possibly follow it while having it sound right.

[Micha]

Mine is:

"You are Welcome" as opener (I see a lot of you guys use it at the end, it's shocking to me because after all, it's a welcome song Plus it begins with a great fade-in).

Plus it is in the same key as H&V, while Prayer is not.

My personal opinion is that while Prayer is a perfect opener for an album named "Dumb Angel", it sucks as an opener for an album named "SMiLE" with that cover. It is way too majestic and minor-key.

Is there any real evidence that Surf's Up was intended to be the closing track?

I don't think so but due to its sound and its content, I'm not sure what could possibly follow it while having it sound right.

Likewise, Surf's Up is not a good closer for an album named SMiLE. Here's my 12 track listing:

A.
1. You're Welcome
2. H&V
3. Cabin Essence
4. DYLW
5. On A Holiday
6. Wonderful
7. Song For Children

B.
1. CIFOTM
2. The Elements (V-T - LTSDD - Wind Chimes - MOLC)
3. Surf's Up
4. Prayer
5. Good Vibrations

By sheer coincidence, these two sides with my own edits clock in nearly the same length, just over 22:40 min each, thuns the whole album just over 45 minutes, still shorter than "Aftermath". Another neat thing is that side A ends with the melody that is reprised in GV which ends side B.

Im toying with the idea to change side B to:

1. CIFOTM
2. Surf's Up
3. The Elements (MOLC - Wind Chimes - LTSDD - V-T)
4. Prayer
5. Good Vibrations

That would leave the 2nd movement of BWPS intact - you would just have to flip the disc in the middle of the movement.

[Bicyclerider]

Side One:

1: You're Welcome
2. Heroes
3. Wonderful
4. Cabinessence
5. Child
6. Great Shape/Barnyard
7. Worms

Side Two:

1. Good Vibrations
2. Wind Chimes
3. Vegetables
4. Mrs. O'Leary's Cow
5. Old Master Painter/YOMS/fade
6. Surf's Up
7. Prayer

[soniclovenoize]

Side A
1. Surf's Up
2. Look
3. Fall Breaks and Back to Winter
4. Vege-Tables
5. She Gives Speeches
6. She's Goin Bald

Side B
7. just the chorus of Cabin Essence repeated four times
8. Heroes and Villains (15 minute version)
9. Surf's Up
10. The Elements (Earth = Wonderful, Water = Surf's Up, Wind = Barnyard, Fire = Wind Chimes)
11. Sloop John B
12. Our Prayer

[PetSmile]

My order follows Heroes and Villains with the fadeout from Heroes and Villains Pt. 2 (similar to The Old Master Painter one, but lazier).

Hello, I'm a very occasional poster and daily lurker (good name for a newspaper that) - I posted my mix of Smile at the end of last year to general indifference, which may well have been because its crap!  Anyhow, I'm gonna post it again like it or not!   Here's my original post:

My attempt at Smile ...well I say mine; if someone else has already made a track sound as good as I believe it possibly can, there's no reason for me to tinker with it.   So the album includes huge chunks of the fine work of soniclovenoize and a touch of shangaijoeBB. 
My own efforts owe a lot to the Share A Smile compilation from way back as this was the first Smile fan mix I owned and a lot of it has stuck with me, they're made up from segments from The Smile Sessions and soniclovenoise's mixes - most of my edits and mixes appear on side 2.
I'm definitely of the school of thought that Smile should be 12 (well 13 with Our Prayer) tracks rather than suites and I've also uploaded it as two separate sides because that's how an album should be godammit!  Anyway, here goes:

SIDE 1
1. Our Prayer (TSS version)
2. Heroes & Villains (shangaijoeBB)
3. The Old Master Painter/You Are My Sunshine (TSS)
4. Do You Like Worms? (soniclovenoize)
5. Wonderful (TSS)
6. Child Is Father of the Man (TSS - with a small edit by me)
7. Cabin Essence (TSS with addition by me at the end)

http://www107.zippyshare.com/v/DgsWTIUs/file.html

SIDE 2
1. Good Vibrations (TSS version with edit by me)
2. Wind Chimes (soniclovenoize)
3. Vega-Tables (my mix inc a bit from Share A Smile)
4. The Elements (my mix)
5. I'm In Great Shape (my mix)
6. Surf's Up (TSS version with small edit by me)

http://www107.zippyshare.com/v/nkPK2jy6/file.html

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy and would welcome your comments.

Cheers, Matt

I also think Gee/Sewdish Frog is a good opener to Vegetables.
