In 1966, Brian Wilson, off the success of the ground-breaking Beach Boys album Pet Sounds, embarked on a project, an album he said would be ‘a musical story of America’. But the project was shelved and Wilson fell victim to his increasing bouts of depression. Dominic Priore, dubbed by MOJO ‘the world’s foremost Smile-ologist’, has written the definitive book on the entire experience – from the original recording to the revival tour and beyond. He has been in the studio with Wilson, as well as on the road for the celebrated European Smile concerts, and the result is the full version of one of pop’s mythic stories. Features forewords by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks. Previously Published by Sanctuary.
Many articles and books have been written about the Beach Boys' famous lost album "Smile," but this is the most comprehensive book on the subject, covering the full history of the album as well as its eventual release in 2004 and subsequent tour. As the follow-up to their classic album "Pet Sounds," "Smile" was to include some of the best songs Brian Wilson has ever written - "Good Vibrations" and "Surf's Up," to name two. But internal disagreements in the band, record company shenanigans, and well-publicized emotional problems meant that the album never received a proper release. Forty years later, Wilson paired up again with lyricist Van Dyke Parks to re-record the album with his current young band, including members of the Wondermints and Poi Dog Pondering.
