Finally a really good sounding LP pressing of Pet Sounds?

I’ve bought three copies of this album and was disappointed in them and ended up selling them. Hesitant to buy another copy.

I seem to remember people recommending the AP pressing? 

Fremer himself gave the Analogue Productions mono a glowing review at the time of its release. In the panel discussion he now pans that pressing in rather extreme fashion, an exaggeration I suspect.

A good many people have long preferred the version that came with the Carl And The Passions album, which  was later released as a separate LP. As I said above, that version was made using the 1972 tape, as is the 1-Step.

Pet Sounds is also being released this year in a 2-LP version, one LP mono (analogue source) the other stereo (digital). Neither is cut from the 1972 tape.

Thanks for a confirmation Eric, I'm okay with my DCC mono for now. Look forward to a relisten tomorrow after a Degritter session.

@bdp24 The video was interesting, thanks. I wish more arcane and difficult to find records were remastered/remixed and re-released. For example the Smithsonian Folkways catalogue,The Haydn Society or the Melodya catalogue. And offered as DSD downloads as well. But I guess like everything else, these projects cost time and money and records need to sell. Anyway, it's good to see a major record label investing in this type of endeavor.
