HEAR TODAY NEW RELEASE AND NEWS FROM THE MUSIC WORLD.Byline: - Compiled by Sandra Barrera Beach Boy Brian Wilson's ``Smile'' lands on record store shelves today as something of a long-lost treasure. Thirty-seven years ago, this follow-up to ``Pet Sounds'' that Wilson called his ``teenage symphony to God'' was interrupted by his mental breakdown and substance abuse. Just last year, Wilson announced he was reteaming with ``Smile'' collaborator Van Dyke Parks to finish the album, now available on Nonesuch Records. The album will bring Wilson to the Walt Disney Concert Hall on Nov. 3. Tickets are $65 to $135 and available at (213) 480-3232 or www.ticketmaster.com.
