Description

The SMiLE Sessions presents an in-depth overview of the recording sessions for the album, which achieved legendary, mythical status for music fans around the world.

All of The SMiLE Sessions’ physical and digital configurations will include an assembled album of core tracks, while the box set delves much deeper into the sessions, adding early song drafts, alternate takes, instrumental and vocals-only mixes, and studio chatter.

Artwork for all of the SMiLE Sessions has been created with and inspired by Beat-Pop artist Frank Holmes’ original 1967 art and booklet designs intended for the SMiLE album. With its three-dimensional shadowbox lid, The SMiLE Sessions box set offers a whimsical peek inside the storied ‘SMiLE Shop.’
