In November 2011 , after 44 years , a compilation box set of the Beach Boys ' '' Smile '' sessions was finally released by Capitol Records . Parks was personally absent from '' The Smile Sessions ' '' advertising campaign and liner notes , and refused to comment on the box set , despite initially giving his approval . In promotional interviews for '' The Smile Sessions '' and the Beach Boys ' 50th Reunion Tour , Mike Love suggested that '' Smile '' collapsed due to substance abuse , and that the project was heavily influenced by Parks ' drug use . One interview included an off-the-cuff comment by Brian Wilson saying that it was Parks who introduced him to LSD and amphetamines , something Parks has previously denied . Later in 2011 , Parks formally responded to these claims via his web site in a post that accused Love of Mammon and historical revisionism . In February 2013 , '' The Smile Sessions '' went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Historical Album
