Pet Sounds

Okay, this seems like a good place to ask.

There are 2 different covers for the CATP/Pet Sounds, right?

 
One of them's brown. One of them's white. Which one do I want? Does it matter?
Did I conjur up this notion out of thin air?

The brown release is only Pet Sounds. The white is the double with Passions. They're the same, quality-wise e.g. excellent.

I always felt that Sloop John B had to be on Pet Sounds because the album needed something "beachy." Ya know, with a nautical/marine theme. It is the "Beach Boys," after all. It's not surfing, but it's still a song about water, right?

Fair point, and the nautical theme is carried on with the intro to God Only Knows, or is it just me that hears it that way?

The intro to "God Only Knows" makes me think of someone brushing their teeth.

I doubt anyone, Brian or Capital, felt obligated to include "Sloop" because it's about a ship, as that's not really the same as the beach, surfing, etc. If the Beach Boys were known as a "Water Band" you may have a case, but as is, ehhhh.

For me, the opening of "God Only Knows" always makes me think of two things:

1. The end of Love, Actually. In fact, when I stepped off of a plane at Heathrow recently, that's what I heard in my head as well.

2. The ending of a production of Twelfth Night I was in, in which the director used the songs from Pet Sounds throughout. We ended the show slow-dancing to "God Only Knows".

i'd say as much as God Only Knows is a song about religion.
