For rock n roll  The Beach Boys album Smile heads that list. Work on the album began on the heels of the groups seminal Pet Sounds  when Brian Wilson teamed with Van Dyke Parks to make a musical story of America. But the writing and recording process soon devolved into chaos  capsized by internal fighting and record business chicanery. Tantalizing bits of Smile - most notably Good Vibrations - hit the airwaves  but the album  reviled by Beach Boys singer Mike Love as a document of Brians madness  was shelved. In Domenic Priores new book  he interviews all the main players and documents every aspect of the Smile experience  from its inception in the 1960s to last years release of Brian Wilson Presents Smile  his remarkable and brave attempt to finish what he started 40 years earlier. Featuring detailed accounts of studio work and the triumphant live shows in Europe and the US  exclusive photos from Smile-era photographer Guy Webster and forewords by Wilson and Van Dyke Parks  Priores book is the last word on perhaps the finest album ever recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647246753845,"sku":"ByrdShop_082567350X","price":331.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780825673504.jpg?v=1781690632","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/smile-the-story-of-brian-wilsons-lost-masterpiece-9780825673504","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
