description: Pet Sounds is the 1966 album that saw The Beach Boys graduate from lightweight pop like Surfin' USA into a vehicle for the mature compositional genius of Brian Wilson. The album was hugely influential, not least on The Beatles. This is the full story of the album's background, composition, and recording, its reception and its enduring legacy, revised and updated to take in Brian's live resurgence and the Smile album and tour.
