The Beach Boys "Smile Sessions" box set caused much internet discussion and debate among fans of the legendary unfinished album "SMiLE" from 1966/67. The pages and pages of scholarly debate contrasted with mindless banter regarding prices, shipping and content was a phenomenon to behold, and a fascinating look into pure obsession.
No attempt was made to use the most interesting bits from the discussions. The author simply chose a discussion -- warts and all -- encompassing boring mindless banter mixed with insightful comments on "SMiLE" to reveal the "story" on the reception of a long awaited box set. The results are a surreal journey into a strange mythology.
The second edition contains the corrected text.
