Article finally split

OK, folks, for all those people like myself who must insist that SMiLE is a Beach Boys album rather than a Brian Wilson one, I have finally given the Beach Boys version its own article, with links to info on Brian Wilson's version. I hope this ends all those arguements. 22:32, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

How do you figure SMiLE is a Beach Boys album when it was never released be the Beach Boys? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.40.63.122 (talk) 13:36, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article is about the unfinished album, sort of about the "entity" that is Smile. Dozens of other unfinished albums have their own page, don't you think Smile, possibly the most famous unfinished album of all time, deserves its own article? 64.53.37.3 (talk) 02:10, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But SMiLE is no longer unfinised. It was completed and released alone by Brian. The earilar attempt as a Beach Boys album and the finshed version are one and the same--It's all SMiLE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.40.63.122 (talk) 05:43, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, perhaps at one time SMiLE would have been a Beach Boys album, but now it most certainly is a Brian Wilson album since it was released by him alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.40.63.122 (talk) 05:40, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are looking for Smile (Brian Wilson album). MookieZ (talk) 18:59, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you undersatnd, they are the same thing. SMiLE is SMiLE. It began as a Beach Boys album, was not finsihed. Then Brian completed and rerecorded SMiLE releaseing The same album on his own--same songs same subject matter just in its finished version.

There is no longer an unfinihed SMiLE. There are recordings from SMiLE's first attempt from the late sixties. But the album SMiLE is finished as of 2004 by the very man who fisrt conceived it, so therefore no longer can be called "the greatest album never released."
