With the full participation of original Beach Boys Al Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson, Capitol Records /EMI has, for the first time, collected and compiled the band's legendary 1966-'67 sessions for the never-completed SMiLE album.

In numerous sessions between the spring of 1966 and the summer of 1967, The Beach Boys recorded a bounty of songs and drafts for an album, SMiLE, that was intended to follow the band's 1966 masterpiece, 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.

Produced by Brian Wilson, Mark Linett, Alan Boyd and Dennis Wolfe in Los Angeles, The SMiLE Sessions includes an assembled collection of core session tracks. This 2LP edition features an approximation of what was intended to be the completed SMiLE album, compiled from The Beach Boys' original session masters. Additional session highlights and bonus tracks are also included, including demos and stereo mixes.

This 2LP vinyl edition produced by Capitol Records / EMI in 2025.
