Pet Sounds - Stereo [VINYL]

Product Information

I got mine for a quid and keep it in the racks as part of my Beach Boys collection, but the 70s Reprise release is the one I listen to. The stereo mix gives a little more air, but the mono ones show the true density of the material presented here, just as Brian himself intended. Pet Sounds has taken on mythical attributes that it cannot possibly live up to, yet anyone who dares criticize the release is seen to be without intelligence, without a soul, without the decency to respect what Brian Wilson in the midst of his drugged out haze and mental breakdown had done. Love that it lists each musician from each session for each song, Glen Campbell really played his part on this one.

The A11 thing makes had me looking somewhere in between the LA pressings but I could find the A11 thing anywhere else.

As to the album’s sound, it was breathtaking, coming across as if Brian Wilson was no longer walking among us, and for the most part, locked in his room, he wasn’t. If at first the record's grooves don't appear to be positioned on-center, Stop your turntable and utilize the loose spindle hole to reposition the record. One thing for sure, everyone who worked with Brian Wilson in the studio and was in the documentary all said he was a genius like non other in our times.I’ve used the original Pet Sounds as a reference since 1969, and part of the soundtrack when there is a surfboard on the roof of my car.

The album is "psychedelic" only because of its eclectic mix of acoustic and electric instruments, sound effects and musical structures that roam from Martin Denny exotica to rock to jazz—you name it. Today (December 21,2015) was to have been the latest release date for the second batch of stereo vinyl Beach Boys releases from Analog Productions(AKA "Acoustic Sounds").That's nothing new, but it's just interesting that it seems so much worse with this particular title. There’s lots of audiophile nerdiness I could mention, but simply put: there are a million, bajillion pressings of this masterpiece, and I can’t imagine any of them sounding better than this one.

Some people on the Steve Hoffman forums who bought Analog Productions' mono vinyl reissue of "Pet Sounds" have reported off-center grooves on "Side One", and have stated that it is audible.
