We've got a pair of dueling release dates for you regarding the long-awaited release of The Beach Boys' legendary lost SMiLE set.

Depending on what you've read, the sets - a two-disc "best of" from the sessions as well as a four-disc box set with a double-vinyl LP set, two vinyl singles and a hardbound book - will be released either July 12 or August 9.

It seems that the source for both dates is a report from Direct Current Music, which has been duly picked up by several sources, including our good friends at Pause & Play. Oddly, checking that same report now has the initial date replaced by the later August 9 street date.

So who's right? It's not entirely certain yet - but if SMiLE indeed drops July 12, it's going to have some interesting titles to share the date with - EMI's set both expanded reissues of Megadeth's Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? and R.E.M.'s Lifes Rich Pageant on the same day.

Keep an eye out while we attempt to lock down the date!
