After years of preferring Smile Sessions, I think I’m prepared to admit that Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE is the better version…
The production is stellar. The vocalists are brilliant. The songs sound finished(because they actually are).
Having distinct vocalists for the 9 part harmonies on Heroes and Villains sends it over the edge.
I love the weird effects on Gee.
I Wanna Be Around actually has vocals(I wish there was a full cover though!)
I’ll always come back to Smile Sessions for Surfs Up and Do You Like Worms(sometimes you can’t beat young Brian’s voice) but for listening to the whole thing, I think I will start defaulting to BWPS
