Mike:
Some / all of "Smile" was recorded back in 67 was it not? I recall a
Julian Lennon interview.... He had heard some of the Smile
recording. He said something very similar...."the music world would
have been turned upside down on its release". I guess the record
company was looking for more songs about girls and cars....
