On Friday, May 15, 2026 – nearly 60 years to the day the original album first reached stores in 1966 – the labels will celebrate The Beach Boys’ landmark Pet Sounds with a variety of new titles.  The album will see two new reissues:

• • A new 2LP entry to UMe’s Vinylphyle series is pressed at RTI on 180-gram black vinyl and cut from original mono (1966) and stereo (1996) tapes by Joe Nino-Hernes at Sterling Sound. The two LPs are housed in protective poly sleeves within a tip-on jacket; a four-panel insert contains Howie Edelson’s new liner notes.
  • A new 1LP mono edition in Interscope-Capitol’s Definitive Sound Series (DSS) using the One Step process. This version is pressed at RTI on Neotech VR900 D2 180-gram vinyl, with AAA [All Analog Mastering] cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering from rarely used circa-1972 analog tapes from the notable Brother Records pressing. This version is limited to 6,000 individually numbered copies, and each copy includes a certificate of authenticity documenting the mastering, plating, and pressing process.
  • A “Zoetrope” vinyl edition of the original 1966 mono album.

In addition, Capitol/UMe will revisit the 1997 box set The Pet Sounds Sessions in new “highlights” editions, available on both 2 CDs and 2 LPs. (As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.)
