After many decades of waiting, The Beach Boys legendary SMiLE album ships today as a sumptuous multi-disc CD and LP box set with loads of extras, as a CD or as a 2 LP set. To mark the occasion, please read the multi-part feature by rock journalist veteran Harvey Kubernik including a fascinating interview with Brian Wilson. Also, under the "Archives" section we've resurrected two pertinent interviews previously published on this site: one is with the late Stan Ross, an owner of famed Gold Star recording studios, the other is with Wilson collaborator Van Dyke Parks. Enjoy!
