Surf's Up, the album originally released in 1971, was based on the song of the same title written for the abandoned 1966-67 SMiLE album (which was later completed & released in 2004 by Brian Wilson and his band). This album features a re-worked version while SMiLE contains the original version of the song.
"The late, angel-throated Carl Wilson in particular shines here, and with two of brother Brian's greatest-ever tunes, 'Til I Die' and 'Surf's Up,' closing things out... the listener is left levitating in ecstasy as the final notes fade away. To this day, I get misty when I hear those songs - that teenage me gently inhabiting my being for a precious few minutes." - Fred Mills, Stereophile Magazine, February 2013, p. 74
