The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds Blu-ray

Posted March 24, 2016 05:21 PM by Webmaster

The Beach Boys' iconic 1966 album, Pet Sounds, is universally hailed as one of popular music's most important recordings of all time. May 16 marks the acclaimed album's 50th anniversary, and to commemorate the milestone, The Beach Boys and Capitol/UMe will release special expanded editions of the recorded masterpiece, as well as a range of exclusive Pet Sounds merchandise.

Pet Sounds (50th Anniversary Edition) will be released worldwide on June 10 in several configurations, including a 4CD/Blu-ray Audio collectors edition presented in a hardbound book, featuring the remastered original album in stereo and mono, plus hi res stereo, mono, instrumental, and 5.1 surround mixes, session outtakes, alternate mixes, and previously unreleased live recordings; a 2CD and digital deluxe edition pairing the remastered album in stereo and mono with highlights from the collectors edition's additional tracks; and remastered, 180-gram LP editions of the album in mono and stereo with faithfully replicated original artwork.

The Beach Boys' 11th studio album, Pet Sounds has reigned atop countless critic and fan polls, and has maintained its timeless rank as one of popular music's most-cited influences. More than 100 domestic and international publications and journalists have lauded Pet Sounds as one of the greatest albums ever recorded, and it entered the GRAMMY Hall of Fame in 1998. Platinum-certified, Pet Sounds tops MOJO magazine's "Greatest Albums of All Time" at No. 1, while Rolling Stone ranked Pet Sounds at No. 2 in the magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."

This year also marks the 50th anniversary of one of popular music's most iconic singles of all time, The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations." The Beach Boys and Capitol/UMe will celebrate "Good Vibrations" with a global commemorative release this fall.
