PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback. We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so. Thank you for your interest and support. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SHIPPING: USA ~ 1 LP $4.00 Media; 2-4 discs $5.00; .50 each additional disc Priority rates vary by area; please inquire.

ORIGINAL 1966 MONO
"MASTERPIECE"
THE BEACH BOYS
PET SOUNDS
\ USA - RAINBOW CAPITOL - MONOPHONIC - T 2458
Highly sought 1966 original MONO first pressing, of a widely rated masterpiece, in the apex of highs for Brain Wilson & the Beach Boys...
Its luxurious sound conveys a heartbreaking wistfulness...
**The scarce mono issue contains different song mixes from the stereo release and contains a suitable bold punch in the sound production, way different from the stereo issue.
the 1966 printed Capitol rainbow label inner sleeve is included as pictured...
Pet Sounds was completed by mid-April [1966] and submitted to Capitol shortly thereafter. Brian was immensely pleased with the end result. 'I was very proud of that album,' he declared. 'The reason we made Pet Sounds was because we specialized in certain sounds. It was our best -- the songs were our pet sounds.'
The album was not unsuccessful. Caroline No, released as a solo single credited to Brian Wilson, went to #32 in the United States.Sloop John B was a #3 single in the U.S. and a #2 single in Great Britain. Wouldn't It Be Nice charted at #8 in the U.S., while its flip side, God Only Knows, was a #2 single in Britain. The album broke into the Top Ten in the U.S. and just missed the top spot in Britain.
Yet, in the United States, the performance of Pet Sounds was slightly off the mark that had been set by its predecessors. It was the group's first studio album in three years not to be certified as a Gold Record. In the years since its release, the blame has been laid on Capitol Records for failing to understand and support the record to the degree they might have.
'At Capitol Records, I think they were a little bit afraid of it,' theorized Carl some years later. 'They probably thought they would lose a market, or a segment of people.'
'This album was so radical compared to the really nice, commercial Barbara Ann's that we had been making, that they had been so successful in selling, that they just wanted more,' explained Bruce. 'They didn't promote Pet Sounds, because they said that it wasn't commercial and the people wouldn't understand it. Capitol just didn't think that this was the direction that we should take, so they didn't promote it.'
'They just kind of put it out,' asserted Mike. 'But it kept building and building. Now, it seems that it's a lot of people's favorite album.'
No less a talent than Paul McCartney has proclaimed it a personal favorite. 'It was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water,' he recounted. 'I love the album so much.'
The Beatles' producer, George Martin, also has sung the praises of the album. 'The first time I heard Pet Sounds,' he recalled, 'I got that kind of feeling that happens less and less as one gets older and more blase ... that moment when something comes along and blows your mind. Hearing Pet Sounds gave me the kind of feeling that raises the hairs on the back of your neck and you say, 'What is that? It's fantastic!' It gives you an elation that is beyond logic...
