MQR Presents SMiLE (An Ear to Ear Expansion)

I swear, this took me AGES to find. But here it is - MQR's very inventive "ear-to-ear expansion" of Smile. There are flac versions out there (and by 'out there' I mean on torrents that won't bloody seed), but unfortunately the best I could get were 320kbps mp3s. Oh well.

CD1 - the mix
CD2 - bonus tracks, including a half hour vocals montage

    1. I'm not sure; it isn't the same tracklist. But certainly sounds interesting.

  2. Beautiful blog, fills the void of some 'Boys blogs going down and being inactive recently.
    Do you have the Live in Big Sur 1970 and the first 2004 Royal Festival Hall BWPS concert audios? Would be great!!

    PS: Also the 1983 Rarities & Beach Boys Medley would be great, it's out of print since ages :(

  5. Thank you very much for this. Really looking forward to hearing it, seems to have all the essentials. Always thought SMiLE could only best work as a double album. Too much good stuff to allow for pruning.

    Links still working, may have to click them a few times before they finally give you the file.
