As it stands here, having a full SMiLE album in mono and a collection of sessions in stereo immediately positions The SMiLE Sessions as something less than a true bootleg beater -- which will undoubtedly lead fans back to extra-legal means at least, any time they want to hear a virtual mixdown of these glorious recordings in true stereo.
Quibbles aside, everything about this package is richly detailed, immensely pleasing, and overall a wonderful experience. All of the CD editions include copious bonus tracks, such as nine minutes of a cappella vocals 'SMiLE Backing Vocals Montage' , whose beauty and fragility will help listeners realize that the Beach Boys obsessed just as much over their vocalizing as their music.
Deluxe editions add essays from several angles, reminiscences from those who were there, and original artwork and photos from the period. True, no one will ever know what effect a SMiLE release in spring would have had on music or pop culture, and with the music so circular and the lyrics so obtuse, it's likely that SMiLE would have become merely a curio of psychedelic excess rather than a work that transformed culture.
But regardless, it shows Brian Wilson's mastery of pure studio sonics and his ability to not only create distinctive pop music, but give it great beauty as well.
Those qualities have inspired musicians for decades, and it's clear they will continue to do so. The Deluxe Edition box set also features a 2' x 3' poster and a page hardcover book, all packaged inside a three-dimensional shadow box lid. Pet Sounds is the 11th studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on May 16, It met a lukewarm critical and commercial reception in the United States, but received immediate success abroad, where British publications declared it 'the most progressive pop album ever'.
It charted at number two in the UK but number ten in the US, a significantly lower placement than the band's preceding albums. In later years, Pet Sounds garnered enormous worldwide acclaim by critics and musicians alike, and is considered one of the most influential albums in the history of popular music. The album was produced and arranged by Brian Wilson, who also wrote and composed almost all of its music. Sessions were conducted several months after he had quit touring with the Beach Boys in order to focus his attention on writing and recording.
Collaborating with lyricist Tony Asher, Wilson's symphonic arrangements wove elaborate layers of vocal harmonies, coupled with sound effects and unconventional instruments such as bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, Electro-Theremin, dog whistles, trains, Hawaiian-sounding string instruments, Coca-Cola cans, and barking dogs, along with the more usual keyboards and guitars. Together with Wall of Sound techniques learned from the productions of Phil Spector, they comprised Wilson's 'pet sounds'.
Due to its personal, artistic nature, Pet Sounds is sometimes considered a Brian Wilson solo album in all but name, repeating the themes and ideas he had introduced with The Beach Boys Today! A follow-up album, Smile , was recorded between and , but left unfinished. In , a 'making-of' version of Pet Sounds was supervised by Wilson and released as The Pet Sounds Sessions , containing the album's first true stereo mix.
Pet Sounds is regarded by musicologists as an early concept album that advanced the field of music production through its introduction of non-standard harmonies and timbres, incorporating elements of jazz, exotica, classical, and the avant-garde.
