Smile is inarguably the most long awaited album in modern pop history. It’s been more than 37 years since the title first appeared on a label release schedule, intended as the January 1967 follow-up to the groundbreaking art-rock of the Beach Boys’ PET SOUNDS. Some 400,000 Smile record jackets and booklets were printed; ads were taken out in Billboard and teen magazines; admiring journalists were allowed into the studio to observe what Wilson and his precocious lyricist arranger, the 22-year-old Van Dyke Parks, were so fastidiously creating. "Good Vibrations" was a harbinger of this concept album to come: a stunningly arranged, spiritually uplifting, goose-bump-inducing "pocket symphony," in Wilson’s words, that became, in 1966, the Beach Boys’ first million-selling single, topping the charts in both the U.S. and the U.K. After Leonard Bernstein heard Wilson perform a solo piano version of "Surf’s Up," an elegant and impressionistic ballad also destined for Smile, he deemed the song "an important contribution to 20th Century music" and hailed Wilson’s gifts as a major composer.

But Smile never made its initial release date, delays mounted along with the pressure, and the project as Wilson had originally envisioned it was finally abandoned. Until now, Smile was, as Newsweek declared, "the most famous pop music album never released." The complicated circumstances surrounding its withdrawal have inspired documentary films, book-length investigations and at least one critically acclaimed novel, Paul Quarrington’s "Whale Music." Tantalizing bits and pieces of Smile have surfaced on subsequent Beach Boys albums; a global network of song-swapping fans cobbled together their own wishful-thinking versions of this seemingly lost masterpiece.

In 2003, a rejuvenated Wilson, encouraged by performing PET SOUNDS live, finally decided to revive Smile, at least in concert form, backed by the enthusiastic young musicians he’d been touring with and helped behind the scenes by Parks. Fans from around the world gathered at London’s Royal Festival Hall on February 20, 2004 for this momentous event, fearing it might be the only opportunity to hear the completed piece. To call the performance a triumph might be an understatement; as a critic for London’s independent raved, "We knew we’d witnessed a miracle of sorts."

Buoyed by this reception, Wilson returned with his stage band to Sunset Sound in Hollywood, where he’d originally cut portions of "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes and Villains," to create a definitive studio recording of Smile. The resulting album is not a mere reconstruction of past performances, but something entirely new, a serious summation of a project that has been gestating for nearly four decades, by an artist who has surmounted years of personal and professional struggle. It’s also an unexpected gift to all who kept the dream of Smile alive. The music and message couldn’t have come at a better time. As the Los Angeles Times put it in a front-page review of its London premiere, Smile "makes perhaps the most persuasive argument for the ‘hippie dream’ of the ‘60s: that music and love really do have the power to transform the world."

"...Brian Wilson's three-part suite has finally been recorded with a top-notch band, as Wilson had originally intended. Beach Boys fans will appreciate the silky vocal harmonies and Van Dyke Parks' borderline-silly lyrics. Those who never understood Wilson's genius will discover a carefully crafted and ingeniously orchestrated gumbo that coheres without a trace of rough edge, dead spot, or spurious fluff, just as the best classical and jazz orchestral works do." - Robert J. Reina, Stereophile, February 2005

The album is narrated in transitional interludes spoken by Wilson as "That Lucky Old Sun," the storyteller. The narratives, cameos on life and the heartbeat of Los Angeles, propel the album's musical story.

Brian Wilson Playback: The Brian Wilson Anthology DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD JACKET SET

Solo Career-Spanning Anthology On Double LP!

Brian Wilson's eponymous solo debut for Sire in 1988 launched an extended period of renewal for the iconic Beach Boys songwriter. Rhino revisits Wilson's solo career with an 18-song collection that mixes studio and live recordings with two previously unreleased tracks: "Run James Run," a new song Wilson wrote and recorded for this collection, and "Some Sweet Day," an unreleased gem he wrote with Andy Paley in the early 1990s for an unfinished recording project.

PLAYBACK: THE BRIAN WILSON ANTHOLOGY covers more than 30 years of music with selections from nine of Wilson's solo albums.

The collection opens with "Love And Mercy," one of the four songs on PLAYBACK taken from Wilson's self-titled debut. The song has become one of Wilson's most beloved classics, a regular closer to his live concerts, and was adopted as the title of the acclaimed 2015 biopic that saw the Beach Boy memorably played by both Paul Dano and John Cusack.

Several tracks on PLAYBACK come from the two albums Wilson released in 2004: Gettin' In Over My Head and the Grammy®-winning Brian Wilson Presents Smile. The most poignant of these is "Soul Searchin'," a song Wilson built around a vocal track left behind by his brother Carl, who passed away in 1998. The celebrated orchestral masterpiece, Smile is represented by "Heroes And Villains", and the timeless classic, "Surf's Up."

Those back-to-back releases ushered in a sustained burst of creativity for Wilson that includes four acclaimed albums. They're represented on the collection by "Midnight's Another Day" (That Lucky Old Sun, 2008); "The Like In I Love You" (Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin, 2010); "Colors Of The Wind" ( In The Key Of Disney, 2011); and "One Kind Of Love" (No Pier Pressure, 2015.)

Tucked in with these studio classics are two live performances from Wilson's 2000 concert recording, Live At The Roxy Theatre. Included here are "The First Time" and "This Isn't Love," a charming collaboration with Wilson's Pet Sounds lyricist Tony Asher.

PLAYBACK: THE BRIAN WILSON ANTHOLOGY includes a selection of classic photos from throughout Wilson's solo career, in addition to a candid shot taken in the studio in 2017 during the recording of "Run James Run." The album also includes liner notes by David Wild, and features a previously unseen picture of Wilson on the front cover, taken by legendary rock photographer Robert Matheu.
