A wonderful, fascinating listen, but has been surpassed by the SOTs of the Pet Sounds period. Still, it's the best thing commercially available. 5.

Fabulous. Manna. I still haven't heard the SOTs, though.

For those of us peons who can't seem to get our hands on the SOT, this is where it's at...

The stereo mix is one of the greatest things in the BB catalogue. Thanks Mr. Linett.

"Let's Go Away For Awhile" in stereo is a powerful, ethereal experience. Matched, though, by the stereo vocals only "Wouldn't It Be Nice." This is a true 5.

I don't think the SOT's surpassed this box.  This box has the stack-o-vocals!!
It also has the brilliant stereo mix and the session highlights.  The SOT's have
about 15 minutes of just rehearing the "You Still Believe in Me" intro. 

This is the best box set based on a single album I've ever heard..  and it
never stops being fascinating.

Er, how many box sets based on single albums are there (amongst official releases I mean)?  Pet Sounds is the only one that comes to my mind - and it's a great tribute to the status of the album that there should be such a thing.  But I'd be interested to know if there are others.

I honestly didn't know what was in the box set.   I just saw while Christmas shopping.  So, no, I guess it's a LITTLE bit different the PS set.   :)

Sometimes i find that i like listening to the sessions better than the completed versions of the songs, some of these tracks make really great instrumentals.  I think thats probably one of the most amazing things about the BB is that you could just listen to the vocals, music, or them all together and its like 3 different songs.  I always picture non existent movie scense when i hear the instrumentals,  looking at this i dont think im making sense anymore, does anyone else at least feel somewhat what im saying?

Well, of course, it's great going deeper into all this stuff - there's so much going on under the vocals.   Over and over again, it's  a very rewarding listening experience.  Don't Talk, for example, is tremendous.

Now, that's not really the boxed set's fault, is it?

It is the direct consequence of me listening to the set.  Perhaps it's not anybody's "fault" but I still blame the interaction between myself and the set for ruination of my life.

There are several in jazz, particularly for Miles Davis.  There are multiple-disc boxes of all the sessions for Bitches Brew, In a Silent Way, and Tribute to Jack Johnson, as well as others I can't remember now. 

Also, a few years ago there was an expansive box of The Stooges' Fun House, where every take of every song from the sessions was included.

In this day and age, I think just about everybody should be putting out sessions and stuff.  It'd be so easy, might as well get it out there before the fans die.

Yes.  In 3075, I doubt there will be much money to be made from a Sunflower box set.  At least they could make a couple of bucks on it now.

Either way, I'm mainly concerned about it coming out before I die.


Title: Re: The Pet Sounds Sessions
Post by: Daniel S. on March 09, 2006, 05:49:09 PM
Geez....I'm depressed now.

But think about this! By 3075, Brian Wilson might be held in the same regard as Mozart and everything he does will be archived and released for posterity. Probably won't happen, I feel your pessismistic view might be accurate but there is always hope. I too worry about dying before we get to hear the music we love.

I have no idea why some people didn't give this 5. This box set is brilliant. I have shown people the vocal only versions of some songs and they have honestly stood there with their jaws dropped. Incredible to listen to and a must for any Beach Boys fan who is interested in the creation process of songs or hearing songs in a different light (ie: the backing tracks & a capella versions)


Title: Re: The Pet Sounds Sessions

5 stars, this is a great set...

But the "Brian sings lead" version of God Only Knows was a bit of a let-down... there is NO WAY that is Brian!  That is clearly Carl just singing in a more forceful way.


Title: Re: The Pet Sounds Sessions
Post by: the captain on November 16, 2008, 12:20:19 PM
I'd say your "clearly" is misguided, especially in that I'd say the Brian lead of GOK is Brian.


Title: Re: The Pet Sounds Sessions
Post by: Aegir on November 16, 2008, 01:46:24 PM
Actually, it's Bruce! Actually, it's Scott Bennett! Actually, it's the compiler's deceased brother!

This is the only band this stuff happens with. You never see Beatles fans arguing over whether or not George or Paul sang lead on a particular track.


Title: Re: The Pet Sounds Sessions
Post by: the captain on November 16, 2008, 02:53:11 PM
I think it's just an amazing coincidence how similarly to one another the BBs did or could sing. Carl could sound like Brian, Al could sound like Brian, Bruce could sound like Al, Bruce could sound like Brian, etc. And when it comes down to it, backing tracks and backgrounds and doublings all do further complicate the sonic picture. It's just not always easy to tell (as the definitive vocal thread shows).


Title: Re: The Pet Sounds Sessions
Post by: Poprocks on November 17, 2008, 04:07:52 PM
Do you agree that if it's Brian in the "Brian sings lead" version, then it's also Brian in the sax solo version?  They are clearly different vocal takes (can't argue with THAT) but otherwise the vocalists sound identical.

There are just certain ways Brian and Carl pronounce certain words.  The way "knows" is pronounced more like "knews" on the "Brian sings lead" version is VERY Carlish.  Brian sings it with a much harder & less diphthongued {o} sound - listen to his replacement of Carl's part of the vocal tag (ie, the bottom) on the mono version, for instance.

Also the way the singer does a bit of a vibrato on the "you" and kind of sounds like he has a cold when saying "me" (in "the world could show nothing to me" - 'm' sound almost sounds like a 'b') is very Carlish as well.

I don't dispute that Brian intended to sing lead on it and sang it at the session ("if you wanna hear it, come on").  It may very well be that a recording of him singing lead in '66 exists.  I'm just REALLY sceptical that the "Brian sings lead" version on the box set is him.


Title: Re: The Pet Sounds Sessions
Post by: mikeyj on November 18, 2008, 12:28:55 AM
I have to say Poprocks, that I have always thought it sounded a lot like Carl too... as you say, just the way he pronounces words etc.. but then again, what do I know? I have always thought that the early version of Good Vibrations with Asher's lyrics was Carl and it is Brian too... and yet, those are the only recordings that I can think of where Brian apparently sings lead and yet he sings in a very "Carl-ish" way.

Well, Carl and Brian are BROTHERS! They are going to sometimes sound similar. The first time I heard the SMiLE version of Wind Chimes I couldn't tell if it was Brian or Carl (I think its Carl with Brian doubling his vocal). Back when I first got into the Beach Boys I couldn't tell Brian's and Carl's voices apart. I was never able to tell their voices apart until I looked at the liner notes and trained my ears a bit. I always thought the tag to Surf's Up sounded like Al, even though it's actually Brian. I thought the beginning of California Saga Part 3 was Al the first couple of times I heard that song.

Post by: the captain on September 19, 2010, 06:04:02 PM
I don't even recall if I voted (and surely I didn't give it the despised 3). But maybe the culprit did so because of what the album is: not everyone wants to hear sessions and alternate takes, you know. Some people prefer the end result. Actually, as interesting as sessions and outtakes are, I know I prefer proper albums in the long run. The "of, the could've..." game can drive a person nuts.

For musicians it is priceless material....especially the interview booklet that comes with it. I can see why some would rather hear just the album itself....that doesn't justify a three star rating however - even the most uninterested person could see the effort that went into this package - the two booklets and 4 discs of mono/stereo vocal/instrumental sessions and alternate/final mixes, yadayadayada...but maybe that's just me being ignorant  ;D

Seeing the effort--and even quality--and wanting to sit down to listen to it are two different things! In the end, there is nothing better than a good, solid 35-minute album. That is my--as a guy who has been known to continue revisiting his own songs for literally a decade or more and fiddling with every stupid alternative on earth--opinion.

haha point taken. I'm just ignorant, that's all  ;D - but that 'Don't Talk vocal snippet' is damn near the finest recording of the human voice. ever. that in itself should make everyone rate this 5 stars. lol, yet again my ignorance clouds my thinking  ;D

what's that Da Vinci quote in the 'Beautiful Dreamer' documentary? "Art is never finished, it's just abandoned"

I've been working on one song for 2 years now, almost completely thought out and just needs to be properly recorded. It's like a never ending process when it is something very special.

I realised after all this time i should listen to the 'bonus' disc, to see if it sounded much different to my 1990 PS CD. Now, I am at a crossroads here: the Sessions Mono disk has a lot more power to it, but it has ALOT more hiss than the 1990 version*, (mainly on WIBN and IWFTD) and so can grate on me.

*I realise the No-Noising on the 1990 CD takes away the punch.

I bought PSS on iTunes, and was very disappointed to find that three tracks had major glitches that made them unlistenable.  Thankfully, iTunes was kind to refund me for the purchase.  Since then, I've tried replacing the defective tracks, but have had no luck.  The mp3s on Amazon seem to carry the same errors, and even a torrent I found had them, too!

Has anyone else run into this problem, or, do these errors exist on the CD version???

the defects are:

You Still Believe In Me (Stereo Backing Track) - Unpleasant digital artifacts disbursed throughout the track… especially noticable after 55 seconds and around 2:13.  Awful skip at the 1:35 mark…
That's Not Me (Highlights from Tracking Date)  - around :48 there are two skips
I'm Waiting for the Day (Stereo Backing Track)  - around :11 there is a skip

Post by: hypehat on August 11, 2012, 04:42:39 AM

Right right. But I suggest that the remaster to be released this fall to contain some of these, just to get a glimpse of the production of Pet Sounds.
Heck, I'd settle for Brian just playing each track on the piano.

A great set.  Only issue I have is the mono version that was included.  I don't know if anyone else noticed a lot of "clicks" and wavering (the latter especially prevalent in "Let's Go Away For Awhile") throughout the album?  I have the original vinyl 1966 mono pressing and I don't hear any of that.

I agree! That has to be the worst mono release of Pet Sounds on CD. It is also very tinny sounding, as well.
