Sorry to revive an old thread.
I remember this show. I still have some DVDs of the series that someone made for me. I've watched them recently and it's still a pretty well done show. Either though I think that this is one of the worst episodes (not rating it higher even if Brian Wilson is in it).
The theme song is one of the best I've ever heard for a TV show.

When was it that Brian went into a record store and realized that he didn't actually own a copy of Pet Sounds and so he bought it? I wonder if the guy selling it to him had any idea...
Did this actually happen? I'm sure I read it somewhere, would be great if someone else can confirm so I know I'm not imagining it, lol! I remember reading about it the "I am Brian Wilson" book from last year.

I don't know that it's categorically the best sounding BB CD around, but it is the most obscure of Steve Hoffman's remasterings of BB material, and Hoffman's work on the BB catalog is always excellent.
It obviously shares a lot of the same tracks he did on "Endless Summer", "Spirit of America", and "Pet Sounds", but I think there are still some tracks on that set that are unique and only way to get Hoffman-mastered versions, mainly "Little Saint Nick" and the latter portion of Disc Two, the post-1966 stuff.
It appears the bottom has partially fallen out of the collectible market for old audiophile CD pressings (DCC, MFSL, etc.) in the last 5-7 years due to downloadable (and physical media) high-rez releases, and I'm sure other factors. So I don't know how valuable this set actually is.
I know part of the novelty of tracking this particular set down is that it has the most generic title imaginable, generic cover art, and online vendors could easily have some other CD titled "Greatest Hits."
But yeah, this is a cool find and I know at least 7-10 years ago a lot of folks on the Hoffman board considered it a tiny bit of a holy grail as far as Hoffman's BB work.
It's pretty rare from what I've seen. Doesn't appear for sale that often. Normally goes up for $150-250.
