"Capitol could have just ignored this anniversary just like Apple has done with most of the Beatles. Instead, they give us this nicely priced, limited edition HDCD. It inlcudes, for the first time, the original backing track in stereo!!! Plus some other stuff that have been released before, but scattered around in box sets, and imports. Its nice to have it all in one place, for a good price, in a limited edition that one day will go for twice the price. If you are a beach boys fan, run and get it."

"Last time anyone heard of the GV vocal multitracks was when Brian mixed the single down to mono, fall 1966. You think if anyone knew where they were, we wouldn't have had it in stereo by now ?
Nice little release. Now can we have THE SMILE SESSIONS 1966-67 box set, please ?"
Can't be beat!

"If you are a diehard Beach Boys fan, its very important to have this if only for the memento it is. If you enjoy listening to outakes and want to get a feel of the whole production I highly recommend this wonderful little package. Its the Boys and all the studio musicians giving their all to perhaps the most complex piece of music Brian Wilson ever wrote."
Good Vibrations DOES exist in stereo,Mark L.

"Hi Mark, I really appreciate all you do for the remixes-but I have to tell you that Dick Bartley plays a stereo version of Good Vibrations on his National radio show, and I recorded his Beach Boys show last year and have it.It IS the 45 version,IN STEREO.Where did he get it from?(Of course he talks over the beginning and end,) but it IS stereo-the Cellos are in one channel.It is not "stereoized" with reverb or something.Also please tell Darian S.that I am still waiting for an email about the live Chickering sound..."
As Perfect As A Single Can Be

"Listening to this single, and the fascinating bonus material coupled with it, one can't help but be struck by the majesty of it. Beach Boys biographers have long noted shock by members of the band when first hearing this track - given the terrain of 1966 rock, should this come as any sort of surprise?
The audio equivalent of an Escher painting, it's impossible to get to the bottom of this one.
