Pet Sounds 25th anniversary - Looks great (pic), sounds OKish


I just received my copy of "Pet Sounds", 25th anniversary edition.

The idea of having two discs, mono and stereo is very cool, and I like the yellow and green color vinyl (to match the cover's color scheme).

Unfortunately, the quality of the pressings is not that great. Mine have some noise artifacts (the kind you get from sloppy pressings and handling). But overall, for $25 I can't complain too much, plus I am a sucker for looks, and the colored vinyl looks very cool.

I spent a few minutes comparing the LP to the Capitol reissue (the CD also has mono + stereo versions.) Even though I have a very analog-sounding CDP (Rega Apollo) the CD still sounds too forward and harsh in the mid-range for my tastes. The vinyl version wins this battle for my listening.

If you like the album, I reccomend buying this edition. If you have a better pressing already you can save wear on it by playing this one instead.
