Description:
The most famous unreleased album in history is finally here, thirty-seven years after the original scheduled date. Wilson intended for SMiLE to be his magnum opus, in his own words: "a teenage symphony to God." The highly anticipated record was scheduled to be Wilson's follow-up to the Beach Boys' masterpiece Pet Sounds, considered by many to be the greatest album in the history of rock 'n' roll.

However, in 1967, Smile was abandoned after nearly a year of work when internal and external conflict and Wilson's growing depression caused him to bring recording sessions to a halt. The news sent shock waves through the world of pop music, but the album's legend never stopped growing. Despite its absence in any official form, finished or unfinished, Smile became the Holy Grail of pop aficionados around the world.

"Nothing could prepare usthe music echoed everything from Philip Glass to Kurt Weill to Chuck BerryLeonard Bernstein said Brian Wilson was one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. He was not wrong." Joe Muggs - Daily Telegraph (London)

As befits a product of this calibre, the packaging is wonderful. A slipcase with blue metallic foil stamp and embossing on front - covering an over-sized, 32-page, full-colour booklet. And of course the amazing recording inside.

This is the first absolute must-have release for the 21st Century for any serious music fan.
