Anyone ever notice the 2 dif'rent versions of the Pet Sounds cover?

I've got an eighties copy that has no yellow text at all.  All the text is white except "capitol" and "stereo" in black

That's not fair. I would reclaim my money if I were you.

On the Surfer Girl album cover none of them are wearing shoes, and the surfboard is upside down. This means they all died in a Murry related accident shortly before 1962 and were replaced by replacements.

You mean these replacements, Stephen?

Nah man, I would have noticed!

Arghhh, what is late 60's Richard Thompson doing in an early 80's hair band?

'Hair Band' had me in stitches...

Sometimes I can't type straight for giggling.

Left side is from the 180g vinyl cover, right side Heartical Don's version.

Is it just me, or was Al's nose also reduced in size?

Someone I know yelled 'bignose' at him awhile back. this cover came out 4 months later.

Be careful. We're talking the man whose speech blooper paved the way for official TSS announcements. He might refrain from doing the same regarding MiC.

He's proud of his proboscis, you know?

it's Brian-approved!

Mike's gone missing!

I think the white goat swallowed him.

[Tilt Araiza]

I think we can agree that this one is best.

I object to that label: Cracked.com

Who'd ever release such a Meisterwerk on such a dodgy indie label?

Now, if it had been Sub Pop I could have made an exception.

Good Photoshop job!

Where have I seen a Pet Sounds cover with more around this photo such as an animated giraffe? What was that version for?

There was something like that in the Beautiful Dreamer documentary, I think.

Lovin' this thread! I wonder if there is an alternate PS cover with all the guys airbrushed out except Mike...and Bruce airbrushed in?

[SMiLE-addict]

This is like a "Paul is dead" thing. Maybe we could start a "Mike was dead" urban legend.

What kind of asshat actually bothers to take the time to do this?

IMHO that's a foregone conclusion. Who knows? This photo could actually represent reality, and the 'real' pic might be forged. See: I assume that mr Love was, at the time of the photo shoot in that insignificant zoo in Nowheresville, in the studio, working his *ss off to realise the next and ground-breaking psychedelic Meisterwerk of the Boys.

[The Shift]

In the original pic they all wore striped shirts and Murry was stood in Mike's place.  I think the album would have had a greater impact if they'd not photoshopped the striped shirts out.

[The Shift]

I hope there's news very soon…

Also Brian should show Carl a little respect and not use his little brother's head for an elbow rest.

Just checked my copy, mine's the same. A quick Google search shows that this edition (catalogue no. EMS 1179) is a DMM stereo edition, the label is black with rainbow rim (80's Capitol Green Label ?). My question to the forum : is this version considered any good ? Is it worth shelling out for a copy of  the CATP/PS vinyl 2fer for comparison ?
