@convinced, I'm impressed! I discovered Smiley Smile (and Wild Honey) in the spring of '68, and soon read (in Paul Williams' Outlaw Blues, a great book on music) about the entire Smile album debacle. That album would have been, had it been completed and released when it was scheduled to be, the pinnacle of Pop music, a work of near genius (Brian Wilson is as close as anyone in Pop has come to the Classical masters). Still, Smiley Smile is a collection of very unique, original songs. Very spooky and otherworldly. I love it.
