Ananova:

Brian Wilson is to release an all new recording of the lost Beach Boys album Smile.

It follows his acclaimed UK concerts where the music was performed in full for the first time.

Smile was to have been Wilson's "teenage symphony to God," designed to better The Beatles and surpass his own Pet Sounds.

But it was put on hold as the rest of the Beach Boys were uncomfortable with its avant garde nature and ambitious structure.

Wilson and lyricist Van Dyke Parks, who collaborated on the original Smile sessions in 1966-67, listened together to the 37-year-old tapes in November last year.

Now, an all-new studio recording of Smile will be made available by Nonesuch Records on September 27.

The album will be produced by Wilson and will feature the ten-member band that has supported him on tour over the past five years, and will also feature The Stockholm Strings and Horns.

The ex-Beach Boy is currently working on the new version of the record at the Sunset Sound studio in LA.

Wilson will also release another studio album on June 21. Gettin In Over My Head features all new material including collaborations with Elton John, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney.
