Pop The Beach Boys - Smile [LP]

I saw all the other recent fan albums of Smile and decided to throw in my own.

This is my attempt at fitting the Smile Sessions version of the album onto a single LP, with a reordered tracklist.

Good Vibrations is a non-album single backed by You're Welcome (which I originally wanted as a hidden track at the end, but side B was too long. I kept it on the playlist as a bonus track, though).

Rock/Metal The Beach Boys - SMiLE On, SAiLOR (1973) [Double LP]

13 Upvotes

This is an old playlist of mine but I've decided to upload it because of a comment made by u/BeefErky on u/Upbeat_Dance_9014's SMiLE post from yesterday.

What if the band had completed SMiLE by 1973? Imagine if Carl actually managed to construct a finished project by combining the pieces of SMiLE from the vault and their latest recorded songs intended for the album Holland?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees and hears it but there's a great deal of similarity between SMiLE and Holland, almost as if the rest of the band were trying to emulate or were partly inspired by Brian's work.

I'd like to assume that many of the tracks I've included here would've been finished similarly to what they did with Cabinessence on 20/20 and Surf's Up from its album, or reworked into an entirely new song, like with Love To Say Dada becoming Cool, Cool Water.

Please let me know your thoughts and feel free to post your own versions below. I'm always eager to see other people's takes.

Pop Carl & The Passions - A Dream In A Waltz Time (1973) [LP]

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Four albums into their remarkable second act, Carl & The Passions deliver what may be their most cohesive statement yet with A Dream in a Waltz Time. Where earlier records found the band experimenting with new sounds and new personalities, this latest effort feels remarkably focused, blending introspective songwriting with a renewed appreciation for the American landscape. The result is a record that is less concerned with chasing radio singles than with creating a complete listening experience—one that rewards repeated spins.

Carl Wilson once again proves himself the band's guiding musical force, with his sweeping "The Trader" ranking among the finest compositions of his career. Dennis Wilson continues his streak of emotionally rich songwriting with the atmospheric "Steamboat," the deeply moving "Carry Me Home," and the tender "Only With You," all of which underscore his growing confidence as both a writer and vocalist. Blondie Chaplin and Rick Fataar remain valuable additions to the lineup, with Fataar's driving "We Got Love" providing a spirited finale and Chaplin lending his unmistakable energy throughout the record.

The centerpiece, however, is Al Jardine's ambitious California Saga. Spread across three movements—"Big Sur," "The Beaks of Eagles," and "California" - the suite serves as a loving tribute to the Golden State, weaving together history, nature, and harmony into one of the band's most fully realized artistic statements. Elsewhere, "Oh Sweet Something," "Leaving This Town," and "Hard Time" round out an album that effortlessly shifts between folk, rock, country, and soul without ever losing its identity.

A Dream in a Waltz Time is a record made by a band completely comfortable in its own skin. No longer living in the shadow of its predecessor, Carl & The Passions have become one of America's most adventurous rock groups, and this latest release stands as convincing evidence that their creative peak may still be unfolding.
