From photos and text posted by Brian and co. this weekend, it appears that Brian and band are recording Pet Sounds fresh at Capitol in LA. Apparently, it's for Spotify, probably an exclusive, but who knows. Any further info on this project would be appreciated in this thread.
Thanks,
Mark

"Band" as in the other living Beach Boys or Brian's touring band?

According to the pictures: Brian, his band and Al Jardine. No other Beach Boys.

Possibly a promo for a documentary ala "Do It Again" for C50?

Maybe they could head to the San Diego Zoo and recreate the cover art while they're at it.

Or maybe a new cd, Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds - BWPS.

I hope they are not doing this project in the studio. I've got cold feet on that straight away.
I don't think a re-recording is a great idea unless it was done live, oh wait......
unless it's a reimagined version, which I don't think it would be.
why? already it will be judged against the masterpiece.

I would presume it's just live in-studio. Essentially the live show sans an audience.

My impression is that they are just rehearsing.

And make poor Al contend with another damn goat? How demeaning!  |

Al posted on Facebook that they were specifically "recording" the album for Spotify at Capitol Records studio. I would guess they're doing an in-house "live session" exclusively to air on Spotify; many bands do this for Spotify and for other radio services. The "tour rehearsal" photos Brian posted are from the following day. The "recording" setup at Capitol looks much more like they're *recording*, albeit in a "live in studio" setup. Typically they wouldn't be using big condenser mics and other "studio" microphone for tour rehearsals:  |

Touring on a classic album is a great treat for fans, especially for the inclusion of deep cuts that don't often get live airings.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to see Roger Waters do Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, Queensryche do Operation: Mindcrime, Judas Priest do British Steel, and The Who do Quadrophenia. I'm looking forward to experiencing Pet Sounds in person later this summer.
To experience these albums live is great, but re-recording them just seems kind of pointless IMO.

But again, I don't think they're "re-recording" it for an album release. They're just doing it "live" in the studio for Spotify. Instead of just recording a live gig out on tour and giving that to Spotify to air, they're knocking out a "live" recording in-studio. It's literally the same as the live show, just without an audience (although there could well have been a small audience in the studio), and recorded with nicer mics in a more controlled setting.

Gotcha. I'm also hoping that this Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary Tour yields a full concert DVD. |

Hey, Phil Collins did it with his albums. I can see it now, some creative Photoshopper recreates Beach Boys album covers with the guys the way they look now, or would look now, in the case of Dennis and Carl. |

It's obviously promotional! Record live in the studio, and publish on spotify so that the listener hears the music, understands this is the sound that will be delivered on tour, and buys tickets  |

I think it's a different kettle of fish if the are recording live in the studio, my initial thought was they wanted to record
and try and better what has been done. That sounds more fun now if that is what is happening.
My wonder is now, considering Brian sang most of the leads, how is gonna tackle singing some of those leads in a recorded
environment? you can get away with murder 'live' but a recording is under the microscope.
songs like YSBIM, IJWMFTT aren't quite the easiest.

If it's a recording they can easily 'sweeten' it in the studio. Hence a reason for doing it in the first place. I also suspect Brian won't be singing the lead on YSBIM, or some of the other songs. |
