SMILEY SMILE

produced by the Beach Boys

Band line-up
Mike Love
Brian Wilson
Carl Wilson
Dennis Wilson
Al Jardine
Bruce Johnston

Because this album was released in place of the legendary unreleased SMiLE album, it has been unjustly neglected by fans of the group. In retrospect, it is hard to be too hard on an album that contains both Good Vibrations and Heroes & Villains as well as some obscure gems like With Me Tonight and Wonderful

Historical note - This album is both the first album to have the credit 'Produced by the Beach Boys', and one of only three ever to feature all new Brian Wilson songs (the other two are The Beach Boys Love You and Brian's eponymous 1988 solo album).
