Step inside the studio while Brian Wilson builds a masterpiece with The Pet Sounds Sessions Highlights, a two-disc CD edition that peels back the layers of one of pop's greatest albums.
Pet Sounds was first released in 1966 and turned sixty in 2026. This set draws its highlights from the expanded sessions box first issued in 1997, gathering vocal-only mixes, alternate versions and snippets of tracking dates where Brian directs the session musicians, tweaks arrangements and chases sounds nobody else could hear yet.
The vocals-only take of "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is breathtaking, revealing just how intricate and gorgeous the band's harmonies really were without any instruments around them. "God Only Knows" appears with an alternate saxophone solo and as session highlights, while "Sloop John B." lets Carl take an early verse. Tracking highlights from "Good Vibrations" show how the next great leap was already taking shape.
Hearing the songs stripped back like this makes the finished album feel even more astonishing. Every hesitation, count-in and studio aside adds to the sense of being right there in the room.
For devoted fans and curious listeners alike, it is a rare, intimate look at genius at work, and a reminder of why these songs still inspire musicians to this day.
