Synthesizer Patel Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I stole my parents Mono version of this long ago, so I have the only one I need. Actually this is the only Beach Boys Album up to the late 70's that I don't own on cd, so I could fork out for a copy and not feel gypped about having it already.

OOO Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I don't rememer hearing any discussion about this album on this board before. Perhaps people would like to argue about the albums merits and how much it influenced Sgt. Pepper, only to be countered by Beatles fans saying that Brian himself was influenced by Rubber Soul, only to have someone else come in and tell everyone to calm down and say that all artists have many influences and the Beatles and the Beach Boys fed off eachother musically in the 60's, only to have some guy come in and say the albums sucks and is overrated without backing up his statements. Or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pet Sounds 40th Anniversary Blog & Podcast series anyway,dcd I am going to go out on a limb and that I have always hated this album. I NEVER understood the praise and still don't.

Sid Hartha Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I hate reissues as a rule, but I have to admit this is pretty cool. I just hope the 40th Anniversary reissue of Stack-o-Tracks gets the same deluxe treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How can you hate Pet Sounds? LouieB I don't know! This has bothered me for years. I eat, sleep, drink music and since I can remember I have been brought up to think this is one of the best discs of all time. I have owned it since I was a kid and every year give it at least one spin, and everytime it leaves me totally flat and annoyed. I must say I do not like the Beach Boys at all, but I can appreciate a lot of music that I personally don't like to listen to. Maybe I need a Pet Sounds intervention.

LouieB Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How much is that green and yellow vinyl thing going for and is it both mixes or is it other stuff too? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 How much is that green and yellow vinyl thing going for and is it both mixes or is it other stuff too? LouieB And why are there two LPs? Or is one side green and one yellow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 one side is mono the other stereo (i forget which color is which) it was $23.75, not bad considering it'll be worth double that and then some after the 10k sell out . wouldn't sell mine tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Best album ever. Not much else to say about it's anniversary. Has been and will always be. (hint: The best albums are usually pretty damn inconsistent) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
