Myths, speculation, anecdotes, assumptions and pure flights of fantasy, shroud rock/pop’s most reverential unreleased album, ‘Smile’.  Recorded between May of 66 and 67, the adumbrate conceptually ambitious magnum opus has remained aloof; taking on a role as music’s holy grail: much better envisioned in its unheard state; or remaining hidden in a Howard Hughes paranoid style secured vault.  Such is the anticipation for this ethereal relic that its brilliance can never, truly, meet expectations. It should, perhaps, remain just in the minds of fans.
