Heroes and Villains & Cabin Essence (67' Single Mix Version)

Well, thats it! A hypothetical release for these two tremendous songs from the SMİLE album, in their sheltered, reduced versions, released in July, to promote the Beach Boys newest album. With The Beach Boys’ Monterey Pop Festival performance still fresh in the public’s mind, Capitol Records seized the momentum and released Heroes and Villains as the lead single for SMiLE in July 1967, backed with Cabin Essence. This single, a fusion of Brian Wilson’s most ambitious production techniques and Van Dyke Parks’ abstract Americana storytelling, quickly became one of the most talked-about records of the summer. Rolling Stone (July 1967): “The Beach Boys have created something truly special here. I don't know where this will go, but it sounds very promising and adventurous. Beautiful vocals! Heroes and Villains isn’t just a song — it’s like an American folk opera compressed into four and a half minutes. Its shifting melodies and cinematic production prove that Brian Wilson is operating on a level beyond anyone else in pop music today.” The New York Times: “While Good Vibrations felt like a rush of teenage euphoria, Heroes and Villains is something stranger, more layered, maybe more mature. It plays like a fever dream of the Old West, a psychedelic ghost story about that character, wrapped in barbershop harmonies. The B-side, Cabin Essence, is equally fascinating — like hearing America’s past dissolve into sound.” Billboard: “Some radio stations are confused about what to do with this record. It doesn’t follow traditional pop structures. But the underground music scene is already hailing it as the new Good Vibrations.” Paul Mccartney: “It’s got this oddball, raggedy thing, but it’s genius. It doesn’t sound ‘produced’ like The Beatles’ stuff — it’s raw but massive at the same time.” Heroes and Villains reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, held back only by The Doors’ Light My Fire. It reached number 1 in the UK, and 3 in the US, being behind artists like The Doors and The Beatles. The release of this single consolidated the hype surrounding the project, entertaining critics and the masses alike. Brian Wilson was reported saying he was unhappy with the single 2 days after its release. He told that the single had a lot of unnecessary filler, and should have been split into 2 parts, like a teaser of SMİLE feel. This fact only increased the friction between the record company and the band, no longer over royalties, but over the rights to the songs. "The finished version of Heroes will be much longer, 7 minutes long, with a different structure, with 3 Chorus and little piano segments..."
