Which Beach Boys LP after Pet Sounds

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 !

Today is a great record too. It contains the original version of Help Me Rhonda with Brian singing the lead. The 45 featured a more rocking arrangement with Al Jardine taking the lead vocal. The live 2 disc set, The Beach Boys In Concert is a great document as well. They could dazzle a crowd with that singing, while the rough and tumble arrangements showed their rock chops...Good Vibrations in concert was just one example of a band that truly among the most unique of their time...embrassing their roots, while bravely changing with the times...pure magic.

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 !

The sonics of the sunflower/surfs up cd's are very good. The songs are great as well. Like the Beatles, the Beach Boys trveled a long way in less than a decade. The contributions of the entire group are incredible on those 2 releases, and no one does harmony like they do.

Very well said.
