Unsurpassed Masters 20: Friends, 20/20, and Odds & Ends


Unsurpassed Masters 19: Alternate Wild Honey


This boot is worth getting for some excellent quality "Can't Wait Too Long" material, among other stuff.

Unsurpassed Masters 18: Alternate Smiley Smile

Note: All the Beach Boys Unsurpassed Masters volumes are up on this nice person's website (though as well as UMs the guy's been posting released albums, which I don't particularly endorse), though some links don't work and/or have to be downloaded in parts, so I thought I'd reupload some to Mediafire to make things more convenient.


These Unsurpassed Masters are totally mind-blowing. You should get them or something

Unsurpassed Masters 16: SMiLE


I'm having trouble finding UM17, though from what I hear it's essentially just The Smile Sessions except less. Oh well, here's this one! SMiLE, as mixed by Unsurpassed Masters.

Project SMiLE


A fabulous CD-ROM from around 2004 filled with wonderful SMiLE-related images and articles. Unfortunately, the mp3s provided do not work, but if you own the SMiLE Sessions CD then you already have 95% of what is provided, and the site is still essential downloadin'!

Purple Chick's SMiLE

Well'p, here it is. The controversial one.



Purple Chick's SMiLE has a simple, fair concept - using BWPS as a template and using as much '67 material as possible - but the sometimes glitchy editing kinda polarised the collectors. If you want a good edit that mixes the '67 material with BWPS, I'd recommend the 3971 edit. Still, Purple Chick's SMiLE deserves a listen for its signficance I guess or something or whatevs

"Only Solitaire" Beach Boys album reviews

Some interesting reviews of all the Beach Boys albums, and a couple of the solo pieces. These caused something of a minor stir over at Smiley Smile since the guy's facts aren't always right, but I find his review style entertaining and his assessments sometimes spot on. Worth reading, at least.

AlternateBrianWilsonPresents SMiLE

Here's another rare Smile mix, and quite a creative one; it presents the album in three movements, the first the famous Americana segment, the second a "circle of life" section, and the third the elements suite. It's garnered a lot of acclaim from the fans so it's definitely one to own.
