Small complaint that the plastic on the front of the "store window" is a bit warped but probably a manufacturing defect and no biggie. Yes, please move your CD discs to safe lodgings when you remove them (very cool effect with CD folder illustrated w/ session reel tape boxes). Well, everything you wanted to hear about SMiLE is here and more. Stereo mixes sound glorious and leave you wishing for more but the Mono tracks are all breathtaking as well. If you have listened to any of the many poor-sounding "bootlegged" releases of the SMiLE material you'll be stunned at the quality and clarity of the audio on the official release. There is no doubt in my mind that had Wilson been able to complete this project on schedule it would have been enthusiastically embraced by critics and the listening public at large and would have changed the face of pop/rock music to such a degree that Sgt. Pepper would have likely just been another record cut in 1967 with a couple of shining moments that was obviously inspired by the musical genius of Wilson. But, alas this was not to be whether the blame can be laid on outside forces or Brian's own demons or the combination of both is a subject that can fill large tomes full of facts and opinions. But I would rather focus on the music. There is some small controversy about the sequencing, that we will really never know just how Wilson might have put the sessions together for final release. The more you listen to SMiLE the more you will appreciate the fact that there is continuity between many of the tracks and similar elements that tie certain sessions together musically. What you may not know is there are forums online where they discuss in detail how a lot of this was done by "fly-ins" by the engineers, meaning there is some digital fiddling-around and moving things about with Brian's original raw recordings. That might be a little disillusioning, but still its very obvious that Brian had to have had some "master-plan" for all this recorded material -- I think the 2011 version is not far off possibility from that "ideal" sequencing and the overall effect is very pleasing. So, its pretty obvious that SMiLE was a concept LP and also a "complete work" very much like the various movements of a classical symphony meant to be listened to all in one sitting to be fully enjoyed. Really, once you start critically listening to this album you are rewarded over and over again by its different combinations of sonic complexities, sincere elemental simplicity and sheer brilliance. What may not be so obvious to the casual listener, is even despite the above-mentioned "fly-ins" that provided some extra "linkage" between tracks -- the underlying structure of many of the songs in SMiLE are akin to another Wilson masterpiece...recorded prior to the SMiLE sessions. So keep listening, I know that I will! Review: Create your own "SMILE"! - This boxset is for every music fan and/or Beach Boys collector! It's design is unequalled. The most important thing of course is the music in this beautiful package! Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys present the original recordings (utilizing "Brian Wilson present Smile" from 2004 sequence as the foundation) for this first official release! In 1993 The Beach Boys released already 11 songs (and 4 bonus tracks) from the "Smile Sessions" on their " Thirty Years of The Beach Boys Good Vibrations" boxset. Combine them with the songs "Good Vibrations" and the "Heroes and Villains" demo from the "Endless Harmony Soundtrack" and you have "Smile"! That's what I thought ... but I was wrong! "Smile" was recorded in many different little pieces. And many of those pieces have different variations. (For instance: cd2 has 32 tracks of "Heroes and Villains" sessions!) Now, the beautiful thing about this masterpiece is that Brian created an infinite number of ways that the songs could be assembled. But at the same time this posed a problem. The 1960's recording technology had its limitations. To look for the right sequence of the pieces to give the song its most beautiful colour would take days or weeks. "Good Vibrations" was recorded in the same way and that took nearly six months before Brian was satisfied! Almost all of the songs on the "Smile Sessions" are assembled in a different way than the ones that were previously released . Adding pieces of music or vocals that were never before used. Only "Our Prayer" and "Cabin Essence" are the same versions as on the "Thirty Years ..." boxset. Is it better? That's for you to decide! The album was unfinished and it still is. Some pieces were never recorded or only exist as a demo. Some sections flow beautifully into the next one but some don't! For me has the song "Look (Song For Children)" the same feel as "Child is the Father Of The Man" and would better be an outtake. But hey ... maybe that's what the producers want with this box! With 4 cd's full of session material and the right software on your computer you can create your own version of "Smile"! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006H1H1JY | | Customer reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (149) | | Item Weight | 100 g | | Manufacturer reference | CDEMI276662 | | Number of discs | 1 | ## Images ![Smile (CD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zkV5d31HL.jpg) ![Smile (CD) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VpkDP-5mL.jpg) ![Smile (CD) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XHpe9K4lL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Vibrations Good Vibrations Good Vibrations *by G***E on 20 September 2012* Received my SMiLE Sessions box promptly and in good condition.
