Widely regarded as one of the greatest albums ever made, Brian Wilson's 1966 masterpiece layers orchestral strings, bicycle bells, Theremin, harpsichord, and even barking dogs into a richly symphonic exploration of love and innocence. This mono pressing presents the album exactly as Wilson intended: he was partially deaf and worked almost exclusively in mono, giving the mono mix his full attention and care. The stereo version came much later and was never part of Wilson's original vision.
