The Beach Boys Pet Sounds

"Kingsley Abbot - editor of the acclaimed Back to the Beach - draws on hours of new interviews with Beach Boys Al Jardine and Bruce Johnstone, lyricist Tony Asher, musicians, engineers and others who took part in the recording. Abbott tells the full story of the album's background, its composition and recording, its contemporary reception and its long-term legacy to produce a compelling case for Pet Sounds as the greatest album of the 20th Century."--Jacket.
