Industry Reviews
You may have heard of this promising combo. Here's one of their earlier albums, and word is it's quite good. The neat wrinkle is that you get the album twice, once in original mono and once in that new-fangled stereo everyone's talking about...
...presenting the landmark recording in a stereo environment for the first time is a revelation, with previouisly `hidden' parts suddenly leaping into the foreground....among the most stunning aspects of the remodeled PET SOUNDS is its dramatically improved fidelity...

...A commercial washout at the time of its release, the album has since grown in reputation to the point where pop aesthetes speak of it in hushed tones as the zenith of Brian Wilson's genius, a seamless masterwork that rewards deep, repeated listening....a wonderful collection of songs... - Rating: A+
