Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Just not made for these times? Then this four-disc monument to the most innocent, blissfully melodic, California-dreamin' album of the rock era beats Prozac hands down. A staggering labour of love on the part of executive project director Phil Sandhaus and his fellow disciples, this lets us ponder the sine qua non of Brian Wilson's career from every imaginable angle--stereo, mono, instrumental and celestial vocals-only versions included. It's way too much of a good thing, but any album that can profoundly influence such disparate talents as Paul McCartney, XTC's Andy Partrige and ex-Pixie FrankBlack warrants microscopic analysis. Our advice: don't worry baby, just drift away on a Brian Wilson fantasia from an epoch when the drugs still worked and before the delirium tremors set in. --Jeff Bateman
Description
When it comes to landmark albums, it's hard to beat the Beach Boys 1966 masterwork, PET SOUNDS. Not only was it the direct inspiration for the following year's SGT. PEPPER, and for countless other works by '60s psychedelic groups; its influence was strong enough more than three decades after its release to warrant this 4-disc box set. In the nineties, the orchestral pop of acts such as Eric Matthews, The High Llamasand Epic Soundtracks owed its brass to Brian Wilson's brainchild.
Over the course of four jam-packed discs, PET SOUNDS SESSIONS offers vocal-only and instrumental-only mixes ofall the original tracks. In additional to the familiar version of the album, there are also alternate performances as well as alternate and mono mixes, working versions sketched out in the studio, and songs that never made it onto the original release. The box comes with a lavish book filled with photos and inside info on the sessions. This set provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of one of pop music's most innovative minds, and the process by which he and his bandmates made musical history.
