This is the must-have reissue LP of 2016...
I've been listening to the newly-issued stereo pressing of the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" since it arrived in the mail a few days ago. I have to tell you, this is one of the best reissues I've heard in recent years.Many think that the stereo version of "Pet Sounds" is inferior to the mono version. To me, the stereo version is also a revelation. I've had the stereo and mono versions on CD for several years now and both are amazing. In my opinion, this is on-par with an MSFL recording. It's that clean. It's like listening to a totally different recording than the mono. The mono version sounds so good for nostalgic reasons... it's classic. The songs sound like the way they were originally heard by most people on the radio or an old record player.The stereo version is like a piece of art. It sounds absolutely HUGE, bright and alive...you are submersed into it.Both versions are so brilliant. Listen with and without headphones. A good pair of cans will really bring out the depth.I believe this is pressed on 200g vinyl. Feels significantly heftier than 180g. "Pet Sounds" is simply a watershed moment in album-oriented music.This is the must-have reissue LP of the year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brian Wilson
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
One thing was always clear when one discussed the most popular artists or bands from the 1960's, The Beach Boys were near the top of each and every list and at one time in the 1960's were voted the most popular band. Sultry vocals and harmonies, great songwriting about things that most people, in the U.S. in particular, could understand and relate to, being on the beach, cars and girls. However, Brian began to want to explore more in music and draw on the rich and outstanding wellspring of musical genius he had within him. This began to eat him up inside as the record label and those within his own band, Mike Love in particular, couldn't nor wouldn't allow themselves to understand. I've heard many reasons for his nervous breakdowns but I believe this to be the catalyst.

This was a man who was hearing wonderful musical themes in his head and was not being allowed the time, space and creative freedom to explore and bring these themes into fruition. On top of that, the "British Invasion" was in full swing and those artists and bands were bringing a fresh perspective on music, both it's recording and production, to the world as well as the "Motown Sound" topping the charts with one great artist after another. Fate typically does things when least expected and fate saw an exhausted Wilson being home recuperating from his breakdown at just the time the "Rubber Soul" album was being released by the Beatles. It would be the album that helped to validate the direction Wilson was feeling his music and that of The Beach Boys should be going.

He found his creative "second wind" and with the help of friend and lyricist Tony Asher, he begin to compose, write, produce and record the songs that would become "Pet Sounds." It was truly an ambitious project and one that would change the face of not just rock music but music in general forever. When his fellow band mates returned off of the remainder of the tour Brian had left, he had basically the entire project completed except for the vocals. Once the other members, along with Brian, laid down their gorgeous vocals which, as usual, were one of the many strengths of the album, they had completed a true game changer and neither they nor the music world would be the same. This album would inspire a whole host of artists to change their entire perspective on how songs should be both written and recorded.

Paul McCartney took a copy to John Lennon and they listened to it over and over again until it became engrained in their thought processes. George Martin, their brilliant producer, also was listening to the album and it was now the catalyst for what would become "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Funny how fate and destiny work, isn't it? Bravo to you Mr. Brian Wilson, I recently listened to this album from beginning to end and marveled at what was produced. You and Mr. Asher created a masterpiece that truly changed the music world and more importantly, validated your true genius.

P.S. Here's what others were saying about the album and Brian Wilson:

Eric Clapton stated that "All of us, Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and I consider Pet Sounds to be one of the greatest pop LPs to ever be released. It encompasses everything that's ever knocked me out and rolled it all into one."

Elton John has said of the album, "For me to say that I was enthralled would be an understatement. I had never heard such magical sounds, so amazingly recorded. It undoubtedly changed the way that I, and countless others, approached recording. It is a timeless and amazing recording of incredible genius and beauty."

Beatles producer George Martin stated that "Without Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper wouldn't have happened... Pepper was an attempt to equal Pet Sounds."

Paul McCartney has said "It was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water. I love the album so much. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life. I figure no one is educated musically 'til they've heard that album. I love the orchestra, the arrangements. It may be going overboard to say it's the classic of the century, but to me, it certainly is a total, classic record that is unbeatable in many ways. I've often played Pet Sounds and cried. I played it to John [Lennon] so much that it would be difficult for him to escape the influence, it was the record of the time. The thing that really made me sit up and take notice was the bass lines and also, putting melodies in the bass line. That I think was probably the big influence that set me thinking when we recorded Pepper, it set me off on a period I had then for a couple of years of nearly always writing quite melodic bass lines. "God Only Knows" is a big favourite of mine, very emotional, always a bit of a choker for me, that one. On "You Still Believe in Me", I love that melody - that kills me. That's my favourite, I think, it's so beautiful right at the end comes surging back in these multi-coloured harmonies, sends shivers up my spine."

Bob Dylan has said of Brian Wilson's talents, "That ear - I mean, Jesus, he's got to will that to the Smithsonian."

Roger Waters stated that along with Sgt Pepper, Pet Sounds "completely changed everything about records for me."

Elvis Costello stated "Last summer, I heard "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)" played on the cello. It sounded beautiful and sad, just as it does on Pet Sounds."

Pete Townshend stated "'God Only Knows' is simple and elegant and was stunning when it first appeared; it still sounds perfect".

Tom Petty stated "I think I would put him up there with any composer - especially Pet Sounds. I don't think there is anything better than that, necessarily. I don't think you'd be out of line comparing him to Beethoven - to any composer."

5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh perspective, and the best MONO Pet Sounds to date
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2009

This review is for the Pet Sounds 40th Anniversary CD + DVD.

- Audio CD: This is a NEWLY remastered mono version followed by the same superb remixed stereo program that was first introduced on the 1997 "The Pet Sounds Sessions" box set, and then released on the 1999 one-disc audio CD. Differences with the 40th Anniversary edition are that unlike the 1997 and 1999 versions, (a) the mono remaster comes from superior original master tapes (see Mark Linett's review) and (b) the entire CD was subsequently remastered in 24-bit format in 2000 using the HDCD process. Although all audio CDs are 16-bit, HDCDs have 20 bits of data encoded in the standard 16-bit audio signal.

- DVD: This is where the 40th Anniversary edition really shines. There are two components to the DVD: the videos, and the audio.

- DVD Videos: There is "The Making of Pet Sounds" which is a new edit of the fun & informative 1997 promo video. This is followed by "Pet Stories," which includes some 4 decades worth of interviews from ALL of the Beach Boys as well as Tony Asher, Bruce Johnston, a handful of the session musicians and other music industry insiders who were there at the time. Next is "Rhythm of Life," a 1990's BBC-produced short video segment where Beatles' producer Sir George Martin goes to Brian Wilson's home and the two end up in the studio going through the master tape for "God Only Knows." The video segment ends with the original 1966 promotional films for "Good Vibrations," "Sloop John B," and "Pet Sounds." These original films are worth a watch. The "Good Vibrations" promo film is the only one in color, and is brings to mind the "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" 1966 recording sessions from the legendary "Smile" album when Brian brought out the red fire hats. The other two are more campy, black & white videos featuring Halloween masks, Mike drinking percolated coffee out of his boots, and The Beach Boy's playing an a pool.

- DVD Audio: This is the best part of the 40th Anniversary package. For the first time, listeners can hear Pet Sounds in either (a) High-resolution 96 kHz, 24-bit PCM stereo, or (b) Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The Hi-Res stereo sounds even better than the audio CD, especially when using good-quality headphones, but again there is not a monumental difference between the three different stereo versions. The Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound version, however, really elevates Pet Sounds to the next level. In the technical notes, Mark Linett says of the 5.1 mix:

"In placing the sounds in the mix, we have taken a very "wide" approach to the music, and attempted to surround the listener with sound. Note that the center speaker is barely used since the phantom center created by the left and right speakers is a much more accurate way to reproduce the desired imaging and reverb in the front channels."

This is immediately noticeable, and as Linett says, the end result is true to the original sound while surrounding the listener with a wide-spectrum aural experience. Just as the stereo Pet Sounds was a revelation to those of us who grew up listening to the mono all those years, the 5.1 mix brings out instrumentation and vocals that were even downed-out in the stereo mixes. The percussion is crisper and I can hear things I never noticed before, and yet when turning back to the stereo or even the mono version, sure enough those sounds are there too, just buried a little deeper. Because of the broad sound spectrum and sparse use of the center, turning the volume up a few notches is best when playing the 5.1 Surround mix.

- Pet Sounds booklet (liner notes): This release has newer, expanded liner notes, including more sections, added detail and even updating some of the information from the previous version. It's really nice to see the thorough notes on the remastering and remixing processes - this information is lacking and in some cases not even included with so many remastered albums today (Led Zeppelin's "Mothership," for example).

- Conclusion: Of course Brian Wilson did the original mix of Pet Sounds in mono, and that will always be the true reference, the benchmark, the final authority for how Pet Sounds was meant to be heard. Because the mono Pet Sounds on this CD is far superior, I have mothballed my 1999 CD and now strictly play the 40th Anniversary CD. The previous remastered mono version was flat and compressed, but those problems have been remedied here, and the results are stunning. The quality of this mono version is finally comparable to the quality of the stereo remix.

Having a Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound DVD audio mix is a rare but welcome option for classic albums such as Pet Sounds. The only other DVD 5.1 mix that comes to mind it The Beatles' "Love," but that seems somewhat less significant because it is not one of their original albums. With this release the bar has been raised for future remasters and anniversary editions - hopefully technology such as Dolby 5.1 and even 7.1 Surround Sound (not to mention Blu-Ray) will continue to be employed for projects such as these.

Brian is a musical genius and it is thanks to him and Mark Linett that all of the versions of Pet Sounds sound as good as they do. We are lucky to have so many options for experiencing the original Pet Sounds (and don't forget Brian's live Pet Sounds DVDs - they rock!). This 40th Anniversary edition is now out of print, so I recommend buying a copy if you can while they are still available. You won't be disappointed.

This review applies to the DVD Audio release. Although the disc contains multi-channel (5.1) playback material, I listened solely to the stereo tracks, being a 'purist' and not having surround sound capability in my audiophile stereo setup. I played the disc using an Oppo BDP-105 Universal Disc Player and the sound is nothing short of amazing! In fact, it sounds like the listener is in the control room at the time it was recorded! It's unfortunate that the DVD-A format is commercially obsolete, but those who have the hardware to support its playback should definitely check this release out. Note that although the format is considered obsolete, discs available in this format are typically quite expensive, as their quality can meet or surpass that of SACD (I have releases in both formats, as well as vinyl). A sonically superior release of a masterpiece album!

Music is a personal thing, but I'm far from the first person to say this is the greatest popular music album ever made. My second favorite is Rubber Soul, which is appropriate given the confluence of the two.
