Sgt.Pepper special on PBS

What makes the omission more puzzling is that Pet Sounds/Beach Boys were bigger in England than in the US, rivaling the Beatles in the UK at the time.  How could he not have known about this connection?

I thought the program was mostly good--I question whether, at this point, they were still mixing 3 tracks down to 1 (I’d like to see an example of that on any song from the LP), but there were a lot of good new factoids and the rest seemed right on the money. I liked that they went deep with a few tracks rather than trying to cover them all.
