A month after releasing a 50th anniversary edition of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Capitol/UMe is unearthing sessions from The Beach Boys from half a century ago.

The two-CD 1967–Sunshine Tomorrow brings together a first-ever stereo mix of The Beach Boys’ Wild Honey, portions of the Smiley Smile sessions, alternative takes and live recordings from ’67. In total, it’s 54 rarities, including the shelved “live” album, Lei’d in Hawaii. It comes out 6/30.

A little history: The Beach Boys’ abandoned the SMiLE project in May 1967 and started Smiley Smile sessions booked at Brian Wilson’s new home studio in June. Capitol released Smiley Smile on 9/18; Wild Honey on 12/18.

In August, with Brian on organ, The Beach Boys recorded two concerts and rehearsals in Honolulu. After returning how to L.A., the Honolulu concert tapes were deemed unusable and they started re-recording the live set at Brian’s house and at Wally Heider Recording in Hollywood.

After the Wild Honey sessions finished on 11/15, Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston embarked on The Beach Boys’ Thanksgiving Tour.
