5.0 out of 5 stars It is so true, Pet Sounds IS one of the BEST albums of all time..., September 27, 2006

I have never heard this whole album before, just various songs from it on different compilation CD's and what not. I picked up this new 40th Anniversary edition tonight. I just now finished listening to it, and words cannot describe the beauty of this album. The harmony's and instrumentals are simply off the charts and out of this world. Not just one song or several songs, but this whole album; it is simply a masterpiece. And the stereo versions of the tracks are simply mind blowing. Mr. Paul McCartney of the Beatles was right on the money, God Only Knows was the best song ever written and that Pet Sounds IS the album of all time. Go pick up this copy if you have not already.

Please see producer Mark Linett's review under the deluxe "fuzzy" version of this new CD/DVD. The mono version of the album has been remastered from a superior source to that used in 2000, and a more complete version of "Hang On To Your Ego" has been used.

I collect Beach Boys & this is just another example of the best album The Beach Boys ever put to wax. After they released the CD the first time it contained the mono/stereo versions (which I prefer the mono) with a bonus track. Then a box set devoted to the album. Now they release it like the single CD but, with a DVD to further cement this album as one of the best ever released. I highly recommend this one if your looking to check out what the fuss is all about. Search "Judemac Forever" on msn.
