Of course I have. But I prefer original tapes, even if they are not as consistent, for two reasons: As good as The Wondermints are, they cannot sing as beautifully as the original Beach Boys did and Brian's voice is not as good as it used to be.
That 2004 release is great, of course, and I own it, and it helped me to get a picture how Smile was meant to be, but I prefer Smile Sessions for the reasons explained above and I listen to it more frequently. Also it serves as some kind of historical document and it's more interesting because of that.
