The Beach Boys Pet Sounds: DSS One-Step
Full Details
The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds on One-Step 180g Mono LP: Definitive Sound Series Ed. Limited to 6,000 Numbered Copies, Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes, Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, and Pressed at R.T.I.
By 1972 The Beach Boys had their own label, Brother Records, which allowed them to master the first reissue of Pet Sounds at the legendary mastering facility, Artisan. The Beach Boys Pet Sounds DSS One Step is mastered from those circa 1972 original analog tapes, in monophonic sound. For over 50 years it appears that these tapes had very seldom been listened to let alone used in a final reissue production.
This DSS One Step presentation allows the listener to hear this historical recording masterpiece in exceptional mono sound. The ambitious production, arrangements and emotional lyrics all sound balanced and natural. This DSS One Step version is limited to a one-time pressing of 6,000 numbered copies, includes a top-quality heavyweight tip on single pocket, gatefold jacket with a certificate of authenticity and is housed inside a uniquely designed slipcase.
The One-Step process is highly regarded among audiophiles and collectors for its unparalleled sound fidelity and represents the pinnacle of vinyl manufacturing and the listening experience.
