![]() I took my Japanese import CD of the Beach Boys' Smiley Smile to work yesterday and as my mind began to wander I found myself gazing absent mindedly at the cover art. I'm not positive that this was the original art work intended for that LP, but if it was, and assuming Lindsey saw it, I was struck with the notion that perhaps this might have been a subconscious inspiration for the artwork that Lindsey selected for the Tango in the Night album cover.
What with Lindsey being such a big supporter of Brian's and such a big fan of Smiley Smile, it just seemed right to me. Assuming I can attach this picture correctly, what do you think?

![]() Yep, similar, but I like Tango's romantic look better than the jungle look to Smiley Smile, which I have never heard of, btw.

![]() Les -
I didn't know that this album was available on CD. I have it on vinyl and it was extremely hard to find. Unfortunately, it is in storage right now. Hopefully it will still be in one piece when we move in January. That's a great observation of the album cover. I never connected the two together. It must have been the animals in the brush that through me off. ![]() -Karen ![]()

![]() Les,
The artwork looks very similar. Does it have information on the Smiley Smile cover about who the artist was or anything? The Tango liner notes credits the concept by Lindsey and Richard, the painting by Brett-Livingstone Strong and cover photo by Greg Gorman. Barbara

![]() Hmm... yeah, I definitely see the similarities. Strangely enough, both covers remind me of a Rousseau painting, so perhaps that's where the inspiration was drawn from.

![]() Look at the way those leaves are drawn in the lower left corner. They look like banana leaves with big veins. There's got to be some sort of intended similarity here.
Excellent find, Les! |

![]() "Vegetables" with guest "celery & carrot muncher" Paul McCartney!!
![]() I think "Heroes & Villains" is my favorite track on "Smiley Smile". But, as Carl Wilson called it (the album), "...a bunt instead of a grand slam" when compared to the album that it replaced: the aborted "Smile" album that was to be released about a year earlier, except for legal entanglements between the Beach Boys & their label, Capitol helped put the "Smile" album forever "on the back burner"...although through the years a few songs ("H&V", "GV", "Vegetables" on "Smiley Smile", "Cabinessence" on "20/20" in 1969, and "Surf's Up" on the album of the same name, 5 years later) have seen the light of official release in altered forms. Still, though, there's lots of examples of where Lindsey was influenced..."Fall Breaks And Back To Winter", "Wind Chimes", "With Me Tonight" just to name three. But, I digress...I just got through reading through the fine print of the CD liner notes and not a mention of the artist. ![]() |
