Beach Boys: "The SMiLE Sessions" details

The Beach Boys' lost 1966-67 "SMiLE" sessions will finally be released on October 31 internationally (November 1 in the USA), by Capitol/EMI. "The SMiLE Sessions" will come out in various formats: 2xCD and 2xLP, digital album, iTunes LP, and huge giant box set. 
The album features "an approximation of what was intended to be the completed SMiLE album, compiled from the Beach Boys’ original session masters" (according to the press release), bonus tracks, demo versions, and stereo mixes.
The cover artwork is based on the work Frank Holmes made for the original, dismissed record.
The band's website will be selling limited edition t-shirts, autographed lithographs, and deluxe autographed versions of the box set. It seems even a custom "SMiLE" surfboard by Hobie will be available.
The Beach Boys are also running a contest to create videos for "Good Vibrations" and "Heroes and Villains".
