Sixty years after Pet Sounds turned heads, the surviving Beach Boys recall Brian Wilson's studio experiments, surprise reactions from peers and how the album slowly became a classic. Read on to discover the full story!

A Studio Revelation

Band members say Brian kept creating while they were touring in Japan, collaborating with Tony Asher and summoning them back to the studio to hear finished tracks. They were stunned by the production and soon began recording complex vocal parts for songs like "God Only Knows" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice."

Crafting a Masterpiece

Pet Sounds initially met mixed reviews but grew into a double-platinum landmark. Capitol is marking the anniversary with The Pet Sounds Sessions Highlights, a two-CD collection of a cappellas and alternates, plus a limited Vinylphyle two-LP edition. Several singles from the album earned multi-platinum status.
