STRICT, CONSERVATIVE GOLDMINE Ratings

See PHOTOS Below.

This is a carefully and lovingly reconstructed SMILE, from best surviving tapes (some bits were unfortunately lost entirely, but; rarely noted; actual working masters and demos survived for most of the material).

Much dedicated research and countless hours of careful listening to various versions and tape sources reveals a near complete album -in all its oddness and eccentric glory.

Granted, it's incomplete. We all know that this is the masterpiece that was lost to time. But... here is a full-length album (it couldn't manage to be any longer) with Original (much longer!) Cabin Essence, Mrs. O'Leary's Cow, Bicycle Rider, Father Is Child To The Man, The Old Master Painter, I Love To Say Da-Da, Barnyard... and unheard versions of songs that eventually would appear on the commercially released "Smiley Smile"...Vega-Tables, Wind Chimes, Wonderful, and of course, delicious early versions of Good Vibrations, Heroes And Villians plus Surf's Up.

(See PHOTO 3 for complete track listing)

SOUND IS TOP-RATE THROUGHOUT.
Original intended SMILE front cover art and a "SMILE SAGA" insert round out this extraordinary gem.

Very few of these were issued - and it was never reprinted.

No telling when you might possibly ever see another of these pop-up.
Don't sleep on this one!

This LP is kept in a protective, clear poly outer-sleeve.
