Help!!!

I'm wondering if I should pick up the Good Vibrations box set, or the Pet Sounds one?
Also, where can I get more vocal tracks?
Is Stack-o-tracks good?
Thanks!

Well, of course, this really depends on what you're looking for....
Personally, I'd go with the Pet Sounds box - but if you're looking for material outside of that album, it's not for you.

I'll eventually get both, I just don't know which I should get first.

Are you more interested in
Pet Sounds
or in the other LPs? Pretty simple decision actually.
I'd get the GV box set first.

Not sure how far along you are in your fandom, but the GV box is essential imo.
That was the set that really got me into the more obscure stuff like Smile, Love You, Adult Child, etc.

Im interested in both.
I guess I meant, which am I getting more for my money with?
Is one much more in depth than the other?
That sort of thing.
Sorry for the confusion.

The PET SOUNDS box set definitely goes into more depth...for that particular album. The GOOD VIBRATIONS box set covers all of the albums through '88.

The Vibes box set definitely has more to choose from. The PS box is great but I feel like I have listened to the Vibes box more.

Well, given that the
PS
box covers just that album and not their entire career 1961-88... which one would you say exhibits more depth ?

If you love Pet Sounds, you can't go wrong with the PS box. I bought that first and would recommend you do the same if you're strapped for cash, with a view to buying the GV box later on.

I got the GV set for Christmas 1993...I was 11...I've never been the same since
It's been with me through high school, college, grad school, job changes, relationship changes, marriage, children and I suspect it will always have a place in my heart. In short, GET IT.

I don't think we are done talking either, the new box set will more than likely be great but why wouldn't you want the others?
Try amazon too, some secondhand ones available for very reasonable prices
Good Vibrations box set -
http://www.amazon.com/Good-Vibrations-Thirty-Years-Beach/dp/B000002UR4/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1340228631&sr=8-15&keywords=good+vibrations
Pet Sounds Sessions -

As for Stack-o-Tracks, yes you need this album and I'm assuming you don't have the Party!/Stack-o-Tracks 2fer, again you can pick this up used very cheap -

The Pet Sounds Sessions box is an incredibly in-depth look at a single album -- mono and stereo mixes, isolated vocal and instrumental tracks, and recordings from the tracking sessions, much like the Smile Sessions box. It's four CDs.
The Good Vibrations box set has the best tracks from the band's entire career from Surfin' through Kokomo, including dozens of then-unreleased tracks. It's not quite every Beach Boys track you'll ever need, but you could probably get away with a copy of the GV box set and a burned compilation CD of another twenty or so tracks, and not be missing anything spectacular. Less essential now the Smile Sessions is out, because a highlight is a half-hour album-length sequence of previously-unreleased Smile music which is now all on the Smile Sessions in better quality, but still essential. It's five CDs long.
They're both doing very different things, and I wouldn't want to choose between them. But the Pet Sounds Sessions is very much for musicians, scholars and so forth -- people who want to take the music apart, analyse it, see how it works. The Good Vibrations box is something that anyone who likes music should have, frankly.

I think the
Good Vibrations
box set is now officially out of print, whereas the
Pet Sounds Sessions
is not, and will not be in the foreseeable future.
Anyone, please correct that statement if it is wrong!!
IF I'm right, then I would say go for the
Good Vibrations
box first while you can, without having to hunt and hunt for reasonable deals on used copies; it would seem like a no-brainer.
As for the merits of each, I don't have much to add to what everyone else said. Both sets are spectacular and serve their own purpose. As Andrew Hickey said, the release of
The Smile Sessions
lessens the allure of Disc 2 of the
Good Vibrations
set, but there are still plenty of other treasures therein, and it's a nifty thing to have, physically. It was how I was introduced to the Beach Boys, and it's what got me hooked - all 4 discs equally too, I might add, in their own ways - so I have a real affection for that collection.

Just get 'em both and get it over with! Good Vibrations box set first with the Pet Sounds box right behind it. Should be less than 100 bucks for both!
I could show you where to download both, but I don't want to. Get the legit releases with the books and stuff. You'll be glad you did.
I had one of the two booklets in my Pet Sounds box autographed by Hal Blaine and Carol Kaye. They're boss!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

You should pick up all of them. Stack-o-Tracks is indeed great, if you're a fan.
