This collection of rarities is notable for the inclusion of two long-fabled songs, ''Soulful Old Man Sunshine'' and ''Loop de Loop,'' as well as a tantalizing glimpse of Brian Wilson previewing lyrics from his lost masterpiece Smile. Those gems, which include a slew of alternate and live versions, offer such poignant evidence of Wilson's singular genius that you might not mind enduring Mike Love's cringe-worthy ''Brian's Back'' and Bruce Johnston's icky title tune.
