New Details on the Beach Boys SMiLE Sessions
Finally we hear some news on the release of the Beach Boys’ lost 1966-67 SMiLE sessions. The international release date will be October 31, and November 1 in the US. The formats available will be: 2xCD and 2xLP, digital album, iTunes LP, and a giant box set.
What you can expect from the SMiLE sessions? Well, according to the press release, “an approximation of what was intended to be the completed SMiLE album, compiled from the Beach Boys’ original session masters,” it also includes bonus tracks, demos, and stereo mixes.
If you’re interested in getting the whole shebang, meaning “box set,” it includes five CDs, two LPs, two 7″s, a 60-page book, and a “three-dimensional shadowbox lid.” If you wanna go a step further and are a hardcore Beach Boys fan there are some limited edition autographed items like: t-shirts, lithographs, box sets that come with a “light-up SMiLE Shop window,” and a killer “custom-made SMiLE surfboard by Hobie.”
