The Beach Boys - Smile: Review

Peter and Shaun were busy this week, so Tim had a conversation with himself, about the unreleased album by The Beach Boys, Smile! The ‘discussion’ includes: the myth versus the reality of Smile!, whether it really would have changed the course of rock history if it had been released, how it relates to the following album Smiley Smile and how The Beach Boys and The Beatles saw each other. Also, why did Capitol Records print 400,000 album covers for an album that didn’t exist? What happened to the missing chorus of Heroes and Villains? And did Brian Wilson really start the fire that happened next door to the Beach Boys’ studio because he recorded a song called ‘Fire’?
