>Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys developed a fervent obsession

I've probably listened to it a similar amount of times ._.

first time hearing the song. this is great. i can see what he was so excited about

I remember once I got really high and played that song like 40 times. When I got into the Beach Boys and found out Brian basically did the same thing every day it made me happy. Too bad I'm not a brilliant but crazy genius who can translate that into Pet Sounds pt 2.

Stereo has more room to work with and doesn't sound like a tin can.

>>71772610

>60s Spector in stereo

Full fucking retard.

>>71772494
God it took way too long for people to figure out that you aren't supposed to hard pan drums.

>>71772667
>Pretending to know what you're talking about this hard

The entire album is true stereo, sorry you fell for the mono meme (which was the actual consumerist trash mastered for AM radio since only audiophiles had stereo systems in '64)

Are you guys seriously advocating for early 60s stereo mixing? Engineers at the time didn't have a fucking clue how to deal with it, so every attempt just had extreme L-R discrepancies between the different channels, and are not carefully adjusted to create a wholly encompassing sound. You'll get entire vocal takes on just R and their third harmony on just L and it sounds sooo bad

>>71772757
>The entire album is true stereo
there are mono pressings and there are stereo pressings

>mastered for AM radio
does this somehow make it worse?

>>71772494
Jesus christ, no. Nothing by 60s Spector should ever be heard in stereo. That's like badly colorizing a perfectly nice black and white photo.

>>71772744
Took until 1969 at the earliest, possibly as late as 1971. I mean, even if they didn't care about stereo cause it was a niche market at the time you'd think they'd at least try and make it sound not disgusting.

>>71772682
The unconventionality of 60's stereo mixes vs. the tin-can mono versions in general is part of the charm desu, but still not seeing any criticism of the actual stereo mixes of the Ronettes that aren't just boilerplate from some press release

>>71772805
Certainly doesn't make it better

>>71772904
No, that's Pet Sounds in stereo

>>71773001
>no that's pet sounds in stereo
Ok you got me there, that's far more offensive.

pet sounds is better in stereo than this shit

>Despite the trend towards multichannel recording, Spector was vehemently opposed to stereo releases, claiming that it took control of the record's sound away from the producer in favor of the listener. Spector was more concerned with the overall collage of sound than with the recording fidelity or timbral quality. Sometimes a pair of strings or horns would be double-tracked multiple times to sound like an entire string or horn section. But in the final product the background sometimes could not be distinguished as either horns or strings.

>Brian Wilson agreed, stating: "I look at sound like a painting, you have a balance and the balance is conceived in your mind. You finish the sound, dub it down, and you’ve stamped out a picture of your balance with the mono dubdown. But in stereo, you leave that dubdown to the listener—to his speaker placement and speaker balance. It just doesn't seem complete to me."

sorry you've never experienced the true Wall of Sound Experience™
to reiterate: it was originally recorded, mixed and intended for mono, therefore any stereo reproduction is untrue.

>the tin-can mono versions
listen to better masterings, back to mono (1991) is notoriously distorted and crummy.

Was layering vocals that new of a concept at the time?

I've been mastering my music in mono because of that Brian Wilson quote for a long fucking time.

Glad I was able to enlighten so many deep Phil Spector scholars who two hours ago didn't know he released his records in stereo in the sixties

A lot of talented people worked on those records, the stereo versions sound extremely cool and good

That's how stereo works. Dual mono is not stereo.

Brian Wilson has zero room to talk since he's deaf in one ear and thus completely incapable of experiencing the glory that is stereo sound.

As for Spector, he's an egomaniac and convicted murderer, so going against his wishes sounds like the proper thing to do to me.
