The Beach Boys – Pet Sounds – Surf Rock - Psych Rock Vinyl LP – Stereo
Item History & Price
In early 1966 Brian Wilson set a personal goal to write the greatest rock album of all time. Many critics and a world full of music lovers believe he may just have achieved that with this spectacular album. Rolling Stone magazine places it number two (behind Sgt. Pepper’s) on their list of greatest albums of all time. The Library of Congress has placed this album on the National Recording Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”. This al...bum is one of those historic, game changing recordings. It paved the way for psychedelic and avant-garde art rock music with its use of incredibly unusual and intriguing new instruments. The production was beyond anything heard previously, and the result in simply spectacular. This incredible album was released on Capitol in 1966, number DT-2458. This is the original duophonic stereo release of the album. The vinyl still has its bright original luster though with several light surface scratches and paper scuffs, none of which significantly impact play. It plays great with just light but noticeable background noise throughout. The vinyl grades VG. The album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear including a very thin one inch split near the open side on the bottom seam. The other seams are sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG+. Track List:

Caroline No Grading Information I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I will do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive. My promise is that I will never put up for auction any album that I would not be proud to play for others on my own turntable. I use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Very occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy. Shipping Information – Combined Shipping Shipping is $4.00 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $4.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. Canada shipping rates have gone up dramatically. The first album will be shipped for $16. Additional albums will be shipped for $5 per album, with up to five albums able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost. The Canada cost determination also applies for all other International shipping, except that the first album is shipped for $23 and each subsequent is just an additional $6.00. All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day. Payment by PayPal is preferred. Thank you for looking and please contact me with any questions.
