The Smile Sessions Vinyl Review

The smile sessions double vinyl lp format features an approximation of what was intended to be the completed smile album compiled from the beach boys original session masters.

The smile sessions vinyl review.

Pepper s his attempt to make the great art pop album of the era. I enjoy all the session individual song parts fly on the wall tracks on the deluxe set not on this vinyl version but the 2 lp smile in mono with the last side containing some stereo mixes and unreleased tracks is one of my favorite possessions in my life. I still love brian s 2004 smile but the smile sessions on vinyl is one of my favorite albums of all time. Otherwise we d be experiencing the smile sessions on dvd today with commentary no less.

The smile sessions fixes all those issues and it will melt your soul with its beauty but sounds noticeably incomplete compared to this album especially love to say dada which sounds dull and empty compared to what it became in 2004 and the flow of the album sounds less organic and tight.
