## Resource

On this 60th episode of Good Timin’, we cover The Beach Boys’ unfinished and unreleased album from 1967, Smile. As usual with our album discussion episodes, we first discuss some of the history and background behind the record, and then we go track by track through the proposed track-list that was released on the Smile Sessions boxset from 2011. Lastly, at the end of the episode we cover some of the additional tracks that were recorded during the Smile sessions, and share some brief thoughts on Brian Wilson’s finished “solo” version of the record from 2004, Brian Wilson presents Smile.
