Album Notes
Full title: The Pet Sounds Sessions: A 30th Anniversary Collection.This four-disc box set includes the first true stereo mix of the Beach Boys' 1966 album PET SOUNDS on one disc, and a new mono mix of the album on another. The mono mix was remastered using 24-bit High Density Compatible Digital (HDCD) technology. Another disc is highlighted by a cappella mixes of 11 songs from PET SOUNDS. The set also features outtakes, alternate versions, demos and a variety of instrumental mixes of the album's 13 songs. THE PET SOUNDS SESSIONS box includes a 120-page full color book.The Beach Boys: Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston, Al Jardine.Compilation producers: David Leaf, Brian Wilson.Recorded in 1965 & 1966. Includes liner notes by Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys, Paul McCartney and George Martin.All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.THE PET SOUNDS SESSIONS: A 30TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Historical Album.When it comes to landmark albums, it's hard to beat the Beach Boys 1966 masterwork, PET SOUNDS. Not only was it the direct inspiration for the following year's SGT. PEPPER, and for countless other works by '60s psychedelic groups; its influence was strong enough more than three decades after its release to warrant this 4-disc box set. In the nineties, the orchestral pop of acts such as Eric Matthews, The High Llamas and Epic Soundtracks owed its brass to Brian Wilson's brainchild.Over the course of four jam-packed discs, PET SOUNDS SESSIONS offers vocal-only and instrumental-only mixes of all the original tracks. In additional to the familiar version of the album, there are also alternate performances as well as alternate and mono mixes, working versions sketched out in the studio, and songs that never made it onto the original release. The box comes with a lavish book filled with photos and inside info on the sessions. This set provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of one of pop music's most innovative minds, and the process by which he and his bandmates made musical history.
Editorial Reviews
10 (out of 10) - ...THE PET SOUNDS SESSIONS is thunderously anal....a thoroughly bewitching experience....This, then, is PET SOUNDS: The Autopsy; each song's vital components carved out and slapped on the slab for inspection....A masterpiece...
NME (10/18/1997)
...presenting the landmark recording in a stereo environment for the first time is a revelation, with previouisly `hidden' parts suddenly leaping into the foreground....among the most stunning aspects of the remodeled PET SOUNDS is its dramatically improved fidelity...

5 Stars (out of 5) - ...A new stereo mix of PET SOUNDS...gives the songs a fantastic clarity, in effect smashing through the Wall Of Sound to bring up instrumental parts that have hitherto been hard to pick out...
