This is a somewhat rare and valuable vinyl record album entitled "Pet Sounds" by The Beach Boys, released in 1966 under Capitol Records. This is the first edition, limited edition of the album, featuring the original cover and inner sleeve. The album is in very good plus (VG+) condition, with the album cover grading of excellent (EX). The cover is still wrapped in plastic and has no bends or scratches. The sleeve is original, has a crease in the corner, and an inch and a half edge tear. See last picture. I'm sure it could be glued or even taped. The album itself plays beautifully despite superficial scratches on it. However, on side 2, halfway into the 2nd song has some popping and continues a bit into "Here Today." It's not a deep scratch, though. I listened to this part 4 times closely, and there's nothing that ruins it for me. After all, it's a 58 year old album.

  Always remember: unhappy? Return it.

The album is classic rock, pop rock, with a high-fidelity level and mono audio channels. The album features 38:10 minutes of run time and is produced by Brian Wilson. This is a must-have vinyl record album for fans of The Beach Boys and vinyl collectors alike.
