Yes good vibrations was supposed to be on smile until it got scrapped. Brian
had the song and was busy recording it in 4 studios. However officially no
stereo version existed until the bootlegs started coming out. There were
several mock stereo version using overdubs from an alternate take of good
vibrations.

John,
Perhaps I shouldn't question an artifact you can check against, but the
date makes no historical sense. Brian Wilson began formulating "good
vibrations" some time during the "Pet Sounds" sessions. As an aside, you
can hear stereo mixes of the rehearsals in the box set, "The Pet Sounds
Sessions." The Pet Sounds LP wasn't released until May of 1966, and "good
Vibrations" came out several months later.
No Beach Boys albums appeared in stereo up to that time because Brian
Wilson was deaf in one ear and seems to have had complete control over
production, which in every other way was a good thing. Surgery apparently
restored some hearing in the deaf ear, and "Friends," three albums later,
came out in stereo. In the past two decade, stereo remixes of Beach Boys
material at their height have appeared in drips and drabs, the best being
on that Pet sounds Sessions box set, which includes a wonderful stereo
remix of the album itself.
Regarding the Beatles Stereo Set, something to keep in mind is that
Capital's versions of the Beatles albums not only differed in content from
those released in the UK, but the LPs were also, I believe, inferior in
quality. The stereo set's "Sergeant Pepper's" is light years ahead of the
US LP. I don't have the UK LP of that album. However, I have the UK
"Beetles for Sale" LP, and it compares favorably with the stereo set
version. Still, the stereo set is very well done, the sound is terrific,
and the convenience of a CD undeniably surpasses that of an LP.

High Ford, That isn't true. I have an old 12 inch copy of that song that
was done in stereo. The date on this old record, is March 5, 1965. My best
regards. John.
