Smile. The Story of Brian Wilson's Lost Masterpiece. Omnibus Press. Softcover. 200 pages. Bobcat Books #BOB11594. Published by Bobcat Books. HL.335020. ISBN 082567350X. 6x9.25 inches. Smile has become one of the most unavoidable legends of rock 'n' roll folklore, and in this searching examination Domenic Priore presents the true story behind the album's 40-year conception. Work on Smile began hot on the heels of the ground-breaking Pet Sounds , when Brian Wilson collaborated with Van Dyke Parks to create a 'musical story of America'. However, production would famously collapse under a tide of internal fighting, record business chicanery, and Brian's own health problems. In this unique account, Domenic Priore interviews all the main players and documents every aspect of the Smile experience, from its troubled inception to Wilson's brave attempt to finish what he started in 2005. The book includes detailed accounts of studio work, the triumphant live shows in Europe and the U.S., and a host of exclusive photos from photographer Guy Webster.
