The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds: The Greatest Album of the Twentieth Century

by Kingsley Abbott

The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds: The Greatest Album of the Twentieth Century Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Released in May 1966, Pet Soundswas the album that saw The Beach Boys graduate from perfectly crafted lightweight pop like "Surfin'USA" into a vehicle for the mature compositional genius of Brian Wilson. It also inspired The Beatles to make Sgt Pepper.

Kingsley Abbottdraws on hours of new interviewers to tell the full story of the album; from its composition and recording, through to its long-term legacy, as the greatest album popular music has yet produced.

Brian Wilson tours the US in Fall 2001, performing Pet Soundsin its entirety with a full orchestra.
