why didn't he just call it the definitive "Smile" and be done with it, rather than "The Smile Sessions?
And what's the story behind the title " Smiley Smile" (1968)

Because "Smile" will in a sense always be incomplete. "Smile Sessions" are Brian's ordering amongst dozens of disparate tapes for Smile. "Smiley Smile" is just some shit Mike and the boys put together so Good Vibrations could be on an album. Brian does have a degree of closure with "Brian Presents Smile" where he re records and completes the album but forty years after the fact.

There is a regular Smile (as in, Brian Wilson Presents). It's not as good. Smiley Smile contains some renditions of tracks meant for Smile.
Idk but the smile sessions are still the GOAT and they aren't even finished
It pains me to think of what could have been
It's literally in my top 5 albums of all time

It is fucking incredible even listening to it almost fifty years later. I could only imagine how much minds it would have blown.
What's better, "The Smile Sessions", or " Brian Wilson Presents"?
Here's to hoping some savant avant-garde retard spends there life on perfecting Smile once all the beach boys are dead and their tapes are made available to public
Because its not Smile, its just a reconstruction based on the template of BWPS, wich its mostly a Darian Sahanaja interpretation of the work, approved by Brian.

The Smile Sessions if you like The Beach Boys
Brian WIlson Presents if you like Smile performed with old man vocals
Is there anything creatively exclusive to the BWPS recordings that aren't part of the 60's sessions since they recruited VDP?
