Man I am just listening to Queen In Nuce and it's just struck me how good Smile actually were. Step On Me and April Lady are really good songs. What did Tim Staffell do musically after Smile?
Does anyone if there any Smile CDs? I've never heard them, but I really want to listen to them. If anyone can find any mp3s of their songs (don't know if you can, but worth a try), then email it/them to me at danielhughes2003_1@hotmail.com

Smile did have a couple of good songs my favorites are....
April Lady
Step On Me
Earth
They're not too bad at all. I'm still glad they split up though otherwise there would be no Queen?
Smile was excellent, I'm almost sad it didn't go anywhere, but then we wouldn't have Queen would we? I love Tim Staffel's voice on step on me... I was impressed.
Smile was good. I'd have to say my favourite song is Earth. On that note, I seriously think we should be grateful for Tim leaving Smile because that gave Freddie the chance to form Queen. SO THANK YOU MR STAFFELL!
loads of traces of queen in those old smile tracks really class! tim staffell got bored with smile and decided too pursue his humpy bong! (then again freddie did go to nearly all there gigs and tell him how to sing!)good move tim!

Are them on mp3?
They should be online somewhere else I can send them to you... what is your e-mail address?
Cheers, the_hero. My email is danielhughes2003_1@hotmail.com. If you can send it/them to me, I really appreciate it because I really want to listen to them.
I just ordered the Humpy Bong 45 -- the only thing they ever recorded -- and I'll post up the mp3s on the site for my Queen-dedicated books. There's some good links that I picked up in my research: link
I started a Humpy Bong thread that no one picked up on; perhaps that title is too obscure.
He did other recordings after Humpy Bong, which I did not know.

Reality check, folks. Few to none of us would even know about Smile if they didn't break up...kind of ironic, actually.
I like songs April lady, Step on me. I saw them in video Champions of the world. I have seen photo of Tim Staffel with Brian in FC magazine (Summer 2003) and he looks fine.
