Acoustic Sounds has now removed the text that said this was their mastering, although it still shows the one bonus track. I was hoping for the SACD to be included in the latest releases but it's not so I will wait.
Beach Boys Stereo SACDs Now At Acoustic Sounds

Help Support QuadraphonicQuad:
OK, just placed an order for 3 new Beach Boys SACD's from Acoustic Sounds...
3 of the best!

Yea, I still haven't got Ted Nugent. And the Surfer Girl 24/192 download I bought apparently isn't Gray's mastering after all. It was just a lie. The download does sound pretty crappy (lacks bass). I think I'll just order All Summer Long (good thing I never bought the SHM SACD of that), Reiner Iberia and Doors Strange Days. 3 to get free shipping.
If they'd have included the bonus tracks that are on the Pet Sounds Blu-ray audio (vaporware) I'd have included that too.
I've had the Nugent since it was released..it's a good one.

I'm smitten...with Pet Sounds - Beach Boys. So, the newly released SACD does sound very good. I think I've found my favorite way to listen to it....

Listening now to newly purchased SACD...
TODAY - Beach Boys
Another great sounding disc....the tune Dance, Dance, Dance sounds much more in depth than 2 channel. It defies my speakers.....nice wide soundstage.

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Hey all - I have a question about (for example) the Beach Boys Pet Sounds SACD. You may or may not know that it has both Stereo and Mono tracks.
Songs 1-13 are in stereo
Songs 14-26 are the mono version of same songs
So, when I skip to songs 14-26, my oppo still says stereo and Denon still says stereo. How come it doesn't say mono? How would I even know if it really is mono? I mean, I can't do a side by side....

Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe (SACD)
Clint asked me if I thought Pet Sounds sounded as good as the other BB SACD discs. I thought it did, but it doesn't. Little Deuce Couple runs circles around Pet Sounds for clarity and separation. No contest. What gives? Of all albums that should have had excellent sound...Pet Sounds should have been it. It's not to be...
The Pet Sounds stereo mix is a modern stereo mix, which don't have much separation. That's the way they like doing stereo mixes now. Little Deuce Coupe had it's stereo mix done back when the LP first came out so had wider stereo which sounded really good on the console systems people had back then.
My parents got rid of their console without even offering it to me first. That really sucked. I think I'll complain about again when I'm there for xmas. Oh woops, I mean "the holiday". Gotta check out the holiday tree, and see if I get any good holiday presents. Maybe play that Chevy Chase movie, Holiday Vacation.
OK, same story with Surfer Girl. No contest. Sounds WAY better than Pet Sounds. I'm discouraged. if only PS could sound this good.
Yeah, I know....but man....the clarity of voices and instruments. Good God.....
The last couple BB discs I mentioned sound as good as the Elvis 57 DSD download. Similar quality IMO.
OK - on a roll now. Just put in Beach Boys TODAY. It seems to follow the trend of Pet Sounds. Much more narrow sound stage. Huh....

I have been on a roll with the BB, too. It's hard not to. Great stuff! I don't have any serious issues with the bass. And like you said, the vocals sound incredible. :music

GOS - is this the new AP release? If so, for the stereo mix does "You Still Believe in Me" contain a double-tracked lead vocal, and does "Wouldn't it Be Nice" have Mike (not Brian) singing the bridge section? These elements were missing when they first remixed it but I seem to remember that have since been 'fixed'. Thanks!
