Brian's reaction to Sgt. Pepper

I'm almost certain this has been covered before in a previous thread, but oh well...
My question is, does anyone know what Brian's reaction to Sgt. Pepper was, exactly? I know he's mentioned it before.
See, there's this silly video on youtube where the guy who posted it is running a Beatles vs. Beach Boys poll, and so many of Beach Boy-hating Beatle fans there keep insisting that Brian locked himself in his room for months doing cocaine in response to hearing Sgt. Pepper, which we all know is false. Funny where they get these things. Gee, why don't I lie and say that Paul McCartney almost jumped off a bridge after hearing Pet Sounds?

In fact, there's a 6-page thread started on the topic earlier this month. See:
http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,6467.0.html
In the Beautiful Dreamer (Smile) DVD it is discussed some.

Summer Days, somewhere in the web there's a very detailed account of Bruce Johnston taking a PS advance copy - or something like that - to London and Keith Moon arranging a listening party at a hotel room, which was attended by Paul and John. I think it was told that J&P were 'moved' to say the least and kept whispering to each other's ears for a long time, sitting on a piano. Now, google it. It will be worth it.

I heard about that, read it somewhere, Dancing Bear. Made me smile to know Lennon & McCartney dug into Pet Sounds.
Thank you for the link Luther, I thought I saw discussion for this somewhere.

Why, he did jump, didn't you know that? They found a lookalike and planted a few tiny indications for diehard Moptop fans. In fact, a milkman from Bstyfnntdwyddych, Wales, proved to be the spitting image of Paul McC. He got one week's training to get rid of his Welsh accent and to become a reasonable bass player (he didn't play anything). Don't tell anyone where you heard this, I am sworn to secrecy by Camilla Parker-Bowles, a huge Pepper fanatic.

I just KNEW someone would make a Paul is Dead joke. I was thinking about making one myself, but I'm glad you did it instead, Heartical Don, that was funny, thanks. (Still, makes me wish Sloop Doug B. was around to make a Mike is Dead joke.)
Um, we could go on ahead and lock this thread now. No need.

I don't recall where I read it, but I remember reading somewhere that after their preview of Pet Sounds that night, John and Paul went straight to Abbey Road and composed "Here, There and Everywhere." There is a quite obvious Beach Boys influence on that song, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
