The ultimate pressing of The Beach Boys’ iconic album from Analogue Productions! Pet Sounds, the 11th studio album by The Beach Boys, is acclaimed by critics and musicians alike as one of the most influential works in the history of popular music. Brian Wilson wrote and composed almost all of the songs — mono mixes created under Wilson’s supervision were how the surf rockin’ California crew rose to fame, and now Analogue Productions brings them to you with THE definitive Pet Sounds reissue on 200-gram vinyl at 45 RPM pressed at Quality Record Pressings. You get to choose — either the mono or stereo album version, or both!
The reception for our previously-issued 33 1/3 version drew praise from reviewer Michael Fremer of AnalogPlanet.com who wrote: “The instrumental separation and front-to-back layering is nothing short of astonishing compared to the pleasing mush offered up by other editions.” Acclaimed mastering engineer Kevin Gray has been able to extract details heretofore uncaptured from the tape with Brian Wilson’s original mono mix “and present it in a way that is pleasing and natural to the ear,” wrote Lee Dempsey, for Endless Summer Quarterly.
Our stereo version was mixed from an assembled digital multi-track master that synced the original 4-track master instrumental with the 4 or 8-track vocal overdub master. The stereo mix was mixed to 15 ips 1/4” analog tape with SR noise reduction.
Even better, the 45 RPM versions of this historical musical masterpiece makes your cartridge a near-perfect tracker by way of reduction of inner-groove distortion, a clear sonic advantage. You get two 200-gram LPs in a beautiful tip-on gatefold jacket from Stoughton Printing.
Pet Sounds is famous for its use of multiple layers of unorthodox instrumentation as well as other cutting edge audio techniques for its time. Conventional keyboards and guitars were combined with exotic touches of orchestrated strings, bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, Theremin, Hawaiian-sounding string instruments, Coca-Cola cans, barking dogs, and more. This classic has some of the group’s most stunning melodies — “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “God Only Knows,” “Caroline No,” and “Sloop John B” (the last of which wasn’t originally intended to go on the album) are the well-known hits, but equally worthy are “You Still Believe in Me,” “Don’t Talk,” “I Know There’s an Answer,” and “I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times.”
VH-1 named Pet Sounds as the No. 3 album in the Top 100 Albums in Rock ‘n’ Roll History, as judged in a poll of musicians, executives and journalists. It’s been ranked No. 1 in several music magazines’ lists of the greatest albums of all time, including NME, The Times and Mojo Magazine. It was ranked No. 2 in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
