Bill,
That was the October issue of "Sound On Sound", a British Pro Audio
magazine. I understand Border's might stock that magazine.
To my knowledge The Toon's 'Looking At Girls' was never released on CD.
I think currently Rhino denies any knowledge of the Toons, and says it
was a different Rhino label. Wierd. Their song 'So Far' is one of
the best Beach Boy soundalike songs ever recorded.

I believe someone posted here about a magazine with a feature story on the recording of "Smile." Would you mind mentioning it again, including the cover date? I'm not really clear as to whether all of the recordings were new, or if some of the '60s tracks were retained.

Does anyone know if this was ever released on CD? I didn't see anything about it on the Rhino website. Perhaps a candidate for a Not Lame Archives project?
