In several sessions between the summer of 1966 and early 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMiLE, that was intended to follow the band’s 1966 album, Pet Sounds. The master tapes were ultimately shelved, and The Beach Boys’ SMiLE has never been released. Drawn from the original masters, The SMiLE Sessions presents an in-depth overview of The Beach Boys’ recording sessions for the enigmatic album, which has achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world.

The Smile Sesssions Box Set contains 5 CDs, double LP and two 7" singles. An astounding 139 tracks brings you into the studio with Brian and the boys. You’ll see how Brian built these songs from the ground up, and discs devoted to "Heroes and Villains" and "Good Vibrations" alone show Brian’s incredible productions for these two masterpieces. Also includes a 60-page hardbound book with rare photos and original essays, poster of Frank Holmes cover art and much more.
