Great recordings with great harmonies from 1960s

The passing of Brian Wilson has me thinking about excellent recordings of bands featuring great harmonies and production from the 1960s.  What do you consider the best recorded and most interesting album(s) from The Beach Boys (besides “Pet Sounds”)?  Other bands from that era?  The New York Times yesterday noted during one later period of Mr. Wilson’s life he was fixated on listening to The Ronettes.  Would like to hear your opinions.

Actually @slaw, Richard and Linda didn't start recording as a duo until 1973. Richard left Fairport Convention in '71, and made a solo album in '72.

The Band cited The Staples as a vocal harmony influence (that's why they were tagged onto the end of The Last Waltz). The '60's Bee Gees albums have some great harmony singing.
