Amazon.com essential recording:
If you need some pointy-headed pundit to sell you on the merits of Pet Sounds, your money might be better spent on an ear specialist. Brian Wilson's gift to 20th-century music elevated this pop album into a beguiling musical and emotional cogency that still operates outside pop culture's fickle space-time continuum--and limited critical lexicon. There's never been another record to compare (Rubber Soul, its inspiration, is close; Sgt. Pepper's, its response, misses the point), and certainly no album has been as dissected, overanalyzed, and predigested for public consumption. In 1997 Capitol Records devoted an entire four-disc box set, The Pet Sounds Sessions, to its thorough deconstruction. The techno-marvel centerpiece of that project--the album's first true stereo mix, painstakingly conjured out of multitape session sources by producer-engineer Mark Linett (under Wilson's supervision)--was at once heresy and revelation. Now the label has gratifyingly seen fit to offer both mixes on a single disc (along with alternate versions of "Hang On to Your Ego," the original title of "I Know There's An Answer"), an idea that should please the orthodox and heretics alike. And while the album has always clearly been The Brian Wilson Show featuring the Beach Boys, David Leaf's concise new notes attempt to be more inclusive of a wider band perspective. The result (three of the five band members claim credit for the album title) sometimes resembles Rashomon. If Pet Sounds forever crystallized the band's various creative (in)differences, it also became Wilson's grand karmic joke on his band mates; its burgeoning reputation (Mojo magazine's panel of pop experts once elected it greatest album of all time) guaranteed they would sing its songs--and praises--until the end. And if putting two different versions of the same album on one disc seems like overkill, look at the bright side: it's a perfect excuse to listen to the glorious Pet Sounds twice. --Jerry McCulley

I've been a big fan of sixties music all my life - Beatles, Who, Byrds, Dylan, Stones, Band, Hendrix, Simon & Garfunkel, Small Faces, Springfield, CCR, etc. - all great. "California Girls" and, especially, "Good Vibrations" rank with some of the very best 60s songs. But, despite listening to Pet Sounds many times, and really trying to like it, I just don't get it. There should be no question that the music production is absolutely, innovatively, exquisite. Some of the melodies are great, but most ... Read More

Anybody who was aware of music at that point in history knows that Brian Wilson's mentor, idol, was Phil Spector. Both he and Spector recorded at Gold Star Recording Studio in LA. Many times Brian would just come into a Spector session just to observe and learn. After he felt that he understood the"Wall of Sound", he used all the same musicians; the so called Wrecking Crew, including Larry Levine. Spector often called the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson and his back up singers. It is so evident the the Wall ... Read More

As a record collector,somehow I'd previously overlooked this all-important "Concept" album,until recently acquiring a version of "love is here" in association with a project I'd been working on.The Wilson influence was immediately apparent and so a copy of "Pet Sounds" I had to have!
Oddly,it wasn't until getting to the stereo versions of the songs that the true brilliance came out,and so by track 24,my justification for buying this album was justified.
Fantastic!

We lived in Heidelberg, Germany (Army) in 1969, and had the Pet Sounds vinyl album playing constantly then. Years later, we become good friends with Larry Knechtel, keyboard and bass player who The Beach Boys summoned to play on this album. Larry passed away in Aug, 2009, and listening to his music is bitter sweet. Pet Sounds is one CD I keep in the player.

I know many things have been said about this album, both negative and positive. There are so many things I could say about the music itself but I rather share my experience about its feel. First keep in mind that Pet Sounds is very dense and really is like a jazz record in the sense that it requires more then one listen to appreciate all that is happening.
It is my personal opinion this is one of the best records of all time because it captures a moment in everyone's life that we all experience ... Read More
