Fuck off.

I agree. It's so much clearer and heavier. The mono version is still good, but it sounds too cluttered compared to stereo.

LISTEN TO BEACH BOYS ON MONO

The Stereo mix has missing elements, such as Mike's bridge in "Wouldn't it be Nice", and the doubletracked vocal in "You Still Believe in me", off the top of my head.
The Stereo version is good to establish some clarity, but imo it sounds more cozy in mono, it was recorded in order to sound good in mono, and it's complete in mono.

Does anyone have a link to a decent mono version? One that doeant have that glitch on lets go away for a while?

Stereo is a meme. You are not supposed to listen to every detail.

Is there a greater moment in music than the reprise of "Child Is Father of Man" on the SMiLE track "Surfs Up" ?

No, that moment always gives me chills. Literally the greatest moment in music, ever.

This is a meme
Stereo is fine

the transition from Our Prayer to Gee.

I 100% agree. The only reason it was originally mono is pretty much because brian is deaf in one ear. Everyone should listen to it on stereo.

Not for the Beach Boys, unless you are a meme listener.

Its not intended as a reprise. They just mixed both songs in 1971, because CIFOTM didn't exist as a single song at the time.

I think the stereo version is much better too.

Favourite album ever btw.

I like the stereo more. Although I feel that way for albums. Stereo has so many more details and makes listening more of an experience. Pet Sounds in stereo is definitely my favorite album
