  The former Beach Boy began working on his masterpiece in 1967 after hearing The Beatles' Sgt Pepper record. Inspired by what he heard, he was determined to create music that would rival The Beatles' best. But Wilson's personal demons took over and the project was never completed … until now. We are proud to showcase "Smile", an album 35 years in the making along with comments from Brian Wilson, his lyricist Van Dyke Parks and music historian David Leaf, who has just produced a film documentary that tells the story of "Smile". Hear it in all its orchestral splendour (RNZ)
