brian with the vision always ahead of his times wether it be surf, pet sounds that doesn’t even land in any category, punk, or the moog synths all over love you yet always misunderstood

🤗🤗 barbara ann is ear candy, it relays all on the hook it’s just fascinating to me how that record was label fabricated so they could work on pet sounds and it just happened to have this song which is probably one of their biggest hits oat lol they weren’t even trying, like not even in the slightest, it’s some fake party themed album! that’s insane in hindsight

@Bad_Finger_Boogie i know has this twofer too, i was having a joke t it bc its funny to have this twofer of all twofers

love the photos for it

brian can be seen with his wife with whom he got two daughters with (who are great singers and i believe had a hit record in the us in the 90s)

al jardine (the pro folk dude of the band) sings the dylan cover, beautifully so @Lawdie posted it once praising it 😌

my fav is the beatles cover with dennis singing tho, dennis voice is incredible and makes it that i like it over the original lol

stack o stack is dope and a miracle for fans to have fun doing edits with! someone tried to do a “love” album out of it but felt too close to the blueprint of what the beatles did, need to be more of its own thing and of bbs legacy

I’m just collecting all the twofers now, starting with the ones from 1990 which is all the 60s releases except Pet Sounds and Christmas. And I was taking this one a little lightly, not expecting much but both these albums, though made to appease the label, are amazing listens to me.

Like I understand people kind of looking down on the fake party but it’s almost a proto concept album. It really takes you there to the performance in the same way Sgt Pepper does. I’ve been thinking a lot about why the early Beach Boy albums aren’t considered concept albums, is it simply because they didn’t put themselves on that high art pedestal, meaning the later albums weren’t the first concept albums but just the first to assert themselves as such? Surfer Girl is almost all about surfing, Shut Down Vol 2 and Little Deuce Coupe are basically all about cars, Party has an entire setting and atmosphere. I know these were partly label packaging/marketing gimmicks but I think it might be overlooked how connected and intentional Brian was already making his albums early on. He credits Rubber Soul and people run with that but Today was before Rubber Soul so the idea of connected albums and sides was always in Brian’s mind

I wish they took the song selection for their party album more seriously using it to show tribute to not only the pop hits of that day but the all-time great country, R&B, American standard legendary songs. I’d even take the wish fulfillment even further by saying the Wilson Bros. should’ve had George Carlin, The Beatles, and Bob Dylan come to a house and record themselves getting high, playing songs, and talking s***.

i think they didn’t think twice about it bc brian mind was all about pet sounds and it was so that the label could leave them alone at it so they just went with current hits but you are absolutely right and if they had done that it would’ve been n even more important album, especially if it touched more of the stuff that made them, like the doowop of the four freshmen etc, now the release more relevant. yeah you make a great point

here’s what makes it up for it tho, beautiful cover of the four freshmen, all the bbs harmonizing acapella nothing else, heavenly:

Robert Schneider and Jim McIntyre (both from the band The Apples In Stereo) together built in the 90s a recording studio they named the Pet Sounds Recording Studio in which the now indie cult albums Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and Olivia Tremor Control's Black Foliage has been recorded at, among with others.
