Notes
Pet Sounds is the 11th studio album by The Beach Boys, originally released on May 16, 1966 in Mono and Duophonic mixes. The Mono mix is available on the 1990 CD reissue and The Pet Sounds Sessions, which also includes a complete stereo remix of the whole album. Both mixes are also available on a 2001 CD reissue. A 5.1 surround sound mix is available on a DVD-A of the album. The Duophonic mix is unavailable on digital formats.
Pet Sounds was initially met with a lukewarm critical and commercial response in the US, peaking at number 10 on Billboard's LP chart. In the UK, the album was lauded by critics and reached number 2 on the Top 40 album chart, remaining in the top ten for six months. Promoted in the UK as "the most progressive pop album ever," Pet Sounds garnered recognition for its ambitious production, sophisticated music, and emotional lyric content. It is considered to be among the most influential albums in music history.

This pressing sounds fantastic. An iconic album on super clean Japanese vinyl. Really happy with my copy. -

As much as I love Pet Sounds in mono I'm not a huge fan of the AP reissue. It sounds great but IMO there's too much bass which kind of slows everything down and it's a bit "thick" sounding to my ears. However the stereo AP is well worth picking up. 33 or 45 you can't go wrong.
R.I.P. Brian Wilson -
Wow... I've had this sealed since forever and I just had never cracked into it until today. With the ing of Brian today I went looking for my copy. This pretty is pretty insane. Holographic sound.

I liked this a bit more than the AP SACD, though the difference was quite minimal.
