    Smile - The Beach Boys

    So for the first time, the Album Archive is featuring an album that was never released. The Beach Boys "Smile" is THE greatest lost album by anyone anywhere. Initially conceived by Brian Wilson as the follow-up to 1966's Pet Sounds, Smile was due to hit the shops in January 1967. Except there was a wee problem; the rest of the band hated it, they couldn't sing over half the tracks, Brian was out of his nut on drugs, and he was convinced that certain pieces of the music angered evil spirits. So he shelved it and settled down to a good 15 years of drink, drugs and obesity.

    Anyway, with the aid of a Beach Boys boxset or two, and a few bootlegs, Phantom FM is proud to bring you the story of Smile on this Thursday's album archive. This is the album that Good Vibrations, Heroes and Villains, Surf's Up, Vega-Tables and Cabin Essence should've appeared on. You'll hear various versions of the Smile tracks, the odd live outing, and....Oh hell, just listen to it. 8pm on Thursday.

    Regards

    Rob
