Some favorites of mine @hedgehog . Nice selections!

@bslon: Isn’t the sound quality of the AP Surfer Girl astounding?!

Surfer Girl was the only BB album until the Friends album that Capitol Records issued in true stereo (all the others were issued in mono and duophonic (a "reprocessed" stereo simulation, and horrid sounding), and has the best sq of all the BB albums, by far. Too bad Pet Sounds wasn’t recorded as well. ;-(

Though not nearly as well recorded, Smiley Smile is an amazing piece of work. And AP’s reissue is far better than the original (I have many pressings of the original, the AP in both mono and stereo).

I have an early Mono pressing of Smiley Smile on Brother Records also and always thought it sounded good and was in decent shape but had been eager to find a new copy from a good remastering company for the past couple years.

QRP finally had another production run last year and I picked up the 33 RPM Mono version from Analog Productions and think it sounds great. Very satisfying.

For sure! My copy is also an ultra quiet pressing, no distractions from the great SQ.   It’s such a lovely record. Sadly I can’t say the same about Pet Sounds either.
