We have back Jimm Warren of Inspector 34 for the long lost follow-up to "Pet Sounds", one of the greatest albums of all time. That's right, we're talking about what was supposed to be the follow-up record, "Smile", and it's various incarnations throughout the years. First, some of the tracks released on "Smiley Smile", the actual follow-up record that stripped down lead songwriter Brian Wilson's vision to a more manageable record. Over the next several decades, bootlegs of what it was supposed to be started circulating and The Beach Boys even repurposed many of the songs, but it wasn't until 2004 that Brian Wilson's vision for the album was expounded upon. With his "Brian Wilson Presents Smile", he came as close as he could to finishing the work he had started as a 24 year old man, even writing new lyrics to replaced lost ones. It was another step closer to the real deal. In 2011, they took it a step further and completed the album using original recordings and the supervision of Brian Wilson to create what many to consider the definitive version, "The Smile Sessions". The first 19 tracks are the album as close to his vision as possible followed by hours of studio content. Now all you can do is sit back and wonder what The Beach Boys career would have been like if it had been completed all those years ago...
