Which Beach Boys LP after Pet Sounds


I have been listening to this album, and really have been enjoying it. I never realized how good of a band these guys really were. The vocal harmonies are some of the best in the rock genre, IMO. I was thinking about picking up the Beach Boys: Today, to get more of their music. Any thoughts on which LP to get. Maybe I will just pick up Today, Tomorrow. That was a joke. Thanks in advance.

Holy responses.I found Sunflower kind of interesting as well. I was going to order it on the new vinyl series through AS or MD. Not sure about the sound quality on these though. My local record emporium was (even though normally fairly stocked) hurting in their Beach Boys section. Thanks a bunch, and keep them coming in.
Hopefully, I can get some feedback on how the new remastered LP's sound, and start there. It certainly seems like the BB's catalog is deep enough to explore it further. The price on the BB's Lp's are not bad at around $18, but only if they sound good. Cheers !
Thanks to all so far. I figured Audiofeil would send me one of his originals since he has them all. Since he didn't, I just ordered "Today" on the new remaster Capitol LP. I am looking forward to it, but am honestly leaning on the pessimistic side as far as how the sound will be. Sorry Jaybo, but I was only able to take half of your advice. Maybe I will watch the movie Up in Smoke before playing the Lp though. One of my favorite scenes: Cheech: " Hey man, am I driving ok". Chong: "Hey man, we're parked man". BTW- also thinking about just grabbing the newer CD, that has Sunflower/Surfs Up on one CD. Even to listen in the car when we're parked, man !
Yes, the Dennis Wilson: POB was reissued by sundazed if I am not mistaken. I may order the Sunflower/Surf's up while I am waiting for the Today LP. The shelves in Borders & Barnes & Noble are pretty sparse, so I will have to wait a bit for this one. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I saw a very large selection of LP's on the Barnes & Noble website though. I ordered the Dire Straits S/T LP, and the new Neil Young: Dreamin' Man live '92. This is the one that is essentially a live Harvest Moon. Back on the Beach Boys. FWIW, there were two Compilation Cd's at Borders. Sounds of Summer and Warmth of the Sun. I am mentioning these because both are HDCD CD's.
Thanks, FWIW I started by first buying a used first pressing of Today. It was a real snap-crackle-pop copy, that I immediately retired. So as I mentioned previously, I picked up the the Capitol reissue. I only mention this because, as many of us know, new does not mean better. So I will tip toe in to this, by first hearing the reissue when it arrives. The BB's used vinyl does not seem plentiful, certainly not in the two vinyl shops I have checked out.
