Thomas Demand, Recorder, 2002
In the summer of 1966 Brian Wilson started recording sessions for the next Beach Boys album. What he envisioned was a complex Pop masterpiece that would make the Beatles jealous, but it was never released. Some of the fragmented recordings surfaced on later releases, some on bootlegs, but Smile as a whole has remained Pop history’s great lost album. Fans still argue about what went wrong.
