This was the beginning of what was going to be an album called Smile. Wilson recorded the album in about 50 sessions, but it was never released. Considered a lost album, Wilson finally finished it in 2004. When he played the album on tour that year, Good Vibrations got a rousing response. This was the last US #1 hit for The Beach Boys until Kokomo went to #1 22 years later, setting the record for longest gap between #1 hits on the Hot 100.
