I've listened to Smiley Smile and Iiked it, but what's the best version of the Smile album? The one from the boxset?
Alternate Brian Wilson.
>>65326278
Smile Sessions
really like this one
>>65326513
Didnt he sing over stuff to complete this? I prefer without old Brian singing
>>65326419
This minus the bonus tracks. Just listen up to track 19 (Good Vibrations). No need to listen to a 4 hour box set that's just bonus tracks.
>>65326589
Yeah, that's what Im doing noe. I' skipping the ones that are on Smiley Smile though since theyre already etched in my mind. Am I missing something then?
>>65326278
>but what's the best version of the Smile album?
The Albums That Never Were version.
>>65326667
don't skip em, some of the tracks are completely different on smiley smile (like vega-tables and wind chimes)
>>65326589
>No need to listen to a 4 hour box set that's just bonus tracks
Are you retarded? The point of the box is the tracking sessions. If anything the first disc is just the bonus
>>65326558
He re-recorded all the backing tracks with his current band.
>>65326667
They are different (and superior) versions. After Smile failed, he completely re-tracked the key songs in a stripped down/lo-fi manner. The Smile recordings are more akin to the Pet Sounds style.
>>65326764
Ah. I'll listen to them. I ha e this bad thing that the first I listen too becomes the "correct" version so even though they might be better I might still not like yhem because they'll sound "wrong"
>>65326870
Well that's fine. Because the reality is Smiley Smile came out, not Smile, so the ones you are attached to were the real versions. These versions of Wind Chimes, Vege-Tables, Wonderful, Fire weren't heard until bootlegs in the 1980s, and then on a big box set of rarities in the 90s.
>tfw you realize there's almost 20 minutes of Heroes and Villains recordings alone
I fucking love mixes where it goes"my children were raised they suddenly rised, they started slow, long ago, healthy wealthy and OFTEN wise"
>>65326395
this
>>65326558
yes but I like it for the sake of having the full melodies which are beautiful.
>>65326395
where can I download it.
>A CHILDREN'S SOOOOOOONG
>>65326975
The cantina version is the best.

NA NAAAAAAA NA NA NA NAAAAAAAA
there is no better feeling than learning how to play that on an upright piano
that man was getting songs from god himself

lol that guy is a dillweed
>>65327198
*grabs you by the sandbox* BACK THE FUCK OFF ?!?!?!?!
>>65327000
Yeah, I mean it's kind of irrational to want the original only, if this one sounds good, that's all that should matter I guess. I just thought he could no longer sing like he did so long after. I'll check out this version too then I think. Anyone have opinons on this version ?
>>65327231
The guy completely shit up the smiley smile boards like a straight up autist. I thought his opinions were right, but when questioned about them he'd attack everyone else for having opinions. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a /mu/tant.
>>65327274

It's garbage. Check out the sln version, it tried to reconstruct how Smile would have sounded like in 1967 which is very different from how it sounds on The Smile Sessions and Brian Wilson Presents Smile.

>>65327266
so far its the mix which makes to most sense to me as far as which songs leads to other songs, but i understand people not sharing this opinion.
>>65327341
thanks
>>65327483
thats not beach boy thats pesshi
>>65327521
His stand tho. I was mostly joking on him being a bitch.
Personally, I prefer SLN's 2004 Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE Mix. It uses the 1967 recordings to approximate the 2004 Brian Wilson Presents Smile recording.
I like Brian Wilson's version because it's longer, it has the Kitchen Sink version of "Heroes and Villains," it has very nice transitions, and it has the full, in-order "Surf's Up" Suite.
The only thing I don't like about Brian Wilson Presents Smile is how inauthentic and weaker it sounds.
SLN's 2004 Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE Mix gives me the best of both worlds: the full grandiosity of Brian Wilson's final vision mixed with the sounds of 1967.
I just don't see the point of reading over Brian Wilson's cracked-out high-on-hash studio notes when Brian Wilson sobered up and actually made the album. Just use the album Brian Wilson made as a guide, I say.
It's a longer, more coherent concept album this way.

Ah I remember this from another time I researched this, heard good things about it then. Thanks for reminding me. What does the sln stand for by the way?
>>65327683
SonicLoveNoize and you can go with the 1967 mix if you want, but just look at the tracklisting on it and tell me it's superior to the 2004 mix:

It's more accurate to what would have been released in 1967.
>>65327683
Oh yeah I forgot, if you do like Brian Wilson Presents Smile, he made an all-stereo version of that using all original Beach boys material. That's the 2004 version. I guess it depends on what you want--what Smile would have sounded like, or what it ended up sounding like years later.

This guys version is pretty underrated
The one that you could make yourself from The SMiLE Shop website. Too bad the site closed back in '99. Still have my CD around somewhere. Maybe I'll upload it to SoundCloud some day.
>>65328358
You can totally remaster it using the SMiLE Sessions box set tho
>>65328375
There's spoken word snippets mixed in with the songs, Brian and Van Dyke Parks high off their asses joking about Vegetables, weird stuff that isn't on Sessions..
>its an I'm In Great Shape leads to Barnyard mix
>it's a I TRIED TO KEEP IT UNDER 40 MINUTES BECAUSE THATS HOW LONG IT WOULD BE IN THE 60s mix
no fuck you throw everything salvagable in there
>>65328808
But that sounds awful
>>65328880
first 50 minutes of smile sessions is a tight af album
Smiley Smile is the best version of the album by far. It's one of the first minimal rock albums alongside TVU&N, is a distinctly bizarre and unique statement from a band that had just turned a new leaf of trying to be more than any other pop band. The only problem with it is that it doesn't have "Surf's Up."
>>65328925
Not really. There's some straight up bullshit that should have been on the cutting room floor.
>>65328969
name a dozen examples
>>65328986
Look
Holiday
Barnyard
I'm in great Shape
various pieces of Heroes and Villains
the first section of Child is Father of the man
The water chant
>>65329206
water chant is lovely but i agree with the rest
>>65329228
Its not even from the smile sessions
>>65329206
They should have combined I'm Great Shape with Barnyard
>>65329206
>not liking I'm In Great Shape
>>65327170
+1 for soniclovenoize
>>65329309
Whom are you quoting?
>>65329278
Maybe. Evidence shows that I'm in Great Shape became it's own track but no one knows what it was beyond that little piece. the sln mix makes a good guess, but the reality is we don't know.
