Did you know that on every Monday night from 10pm to midnight, WUSC has an all vinyl show?  How much do you want to wager that ClearChannel stations don’t even have record players anymore? We know they certainly aren’t using them to do amazing Brian Wilson retrospectives.  

Joe’s show tonight will be doing what other stations don’t, he tells us: 

I’m doing a show that features Beach Boys’/Brian Wilson’s ill-fated, much rumored SMiLE project and how it went from myth to reality in 37 years.  In this special edition of SNAP, CRACKLE AND POP: the vinyl show, I will be playing a bootleg of SMiLE culled from the 1967 sessions, a MONO(!!) copy of Smiley Smile (the slap-dash Beach Boys album put out in its place, featuring retooled SMiLE tunes), and Brian Wilson’s 2004 finished version.  And being that it is the vinyl show, each album will be played in its entirety on vinyl.

If you have the highest pledge of the show, Joe is going to hook you up with copies of Smiley Smile, and the finished SMiLE release from 2004.  Joe also supplied us with this very cool promo for the 1967 release of the SMiLE album before it got canned.
