"It was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water...I love the album so much. I've just bought my kids each a copy of it for their education in life. I figure no one is educated musically 'til they've heard that album." Paul McCartney
"All of us, Ginger (Baker), Jack (Bruce), and I consider Pet Sounds to be one of the greatest pop LPs to ever be released. It encompasses everything that's ever knocked me out and rolled it all into one." Eric Clapton
"Pet Sounds is a landmark album. For me to say that I was enthralled would be an understatement. I had never heard such magical sounds, so amazingly recorded. It is a timeless and amazing recording of incredible genius and beauty." Elton John
Mobile Fidelity SACD boasts reference-quality sonics
Mastered from original stereo mixes created by The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson
Numbered, limited edition hybrid SACD
You won't hear a better-mixed version of Pet Sounds than this hybrid SACD copy from Mobile Fidelity. Famous for its use of multiple layers of unorthodox instrumentation, harmony-based choruses, ensemble refrains, blended reverberation and recurring echo, this album's sonic medleys are heard with unrivaled transparency, width and depth. Even those who swear by the mono version will find their minds (and heads) blown.
VH-1 named Pet Sounds as the No. 3 album in the Top 100 Albums in Rock 'n' Roll History, as judged in a poll of musicians, executives and journalists. The best Beach Boys album, and one of the best of the 1960s. The group here reached a whole new level in terms of both composition and production, layering tracks upon tracks of vocals and instruments to create a richly symphonic sound.
Enhanced, too, by this release, are Brian and Carl Wilson's spiritually informed high-register vocal performances, now unbound by any connection to artificial ceilings or veiled frequencies. Prepare to swoon. Mastered from original first-generation analog stereo mixes by Brian Wilson and Mark Linett, Pet Sounds has never sounded better. Recognizing the stature and importance of the album particularly to audiophiles and Beach Boys fanatics Mobile Fidelity engineers treated this project with utmost reverence, extracting previously buried information and obscured details that add to the elaborate music's meaning, enjoyment, mood and breadth.
