The "Pet Sounds" One-Step "Controversy" Has Gotten Way Out of Hand

so here you can listen to a track from many PS reissues and the O.G.

The lies being told online about me, about Tom 'grover" Biery, about the new DSS version of Pet Sounds, about the "One Step" process etc. etc. are just getting to be TOO MUCH for me. So I've made this one take soliloquy in an attempt to set the record straight about Pet Sounds, about reissues, about "One Steps" about people with no resumes pretending to be authorities and a lot of others stuff.

I'm fed up with all of the nonsense! Please watch and then after I'm done you will hear the track "Here Today" from the O.G. from the '72 Brother Records version, from the DCC Compact Classics, from the Analogue Productions version, from the Vinylphyle edition and then from the DSS.

I'm sorry but it appears that the Vinylphyle version isn't identified. It begins around 31:00 minutes into the video. My apologies.

What's truly crazy about this is that both the DSS and the Vinylphyle versions were cut from tape copies. The Vinylphyle from the N.Y. tape probably also used by Kevin Gray for the Analogue Productions reissue, and the DSS from the the equalized Dolby copy prepared by or for Brother Records in 1972.

Despite this and despite that Tom Biery made clear that he'd used an equalized copy, all hell broke lose. Also my claim that the '72 tape was what Brian Wilson probably wanted people to hear created a firestorm.

Why? The Beach Boys had bought the rights to the tapes from Capitol in 1969 and3 years later issues their own Pet Sounds. Who does anyone think prepped the EQ'd tape? A stranger? Who does anyone think approved the EQ'd tape? If not the boys themselves, namely Brian and Carl? What a mess...

There are no tricks or shenanigans. Each file was loudness normalized then amplified to make the levels match so volume doesn't affect what you hear. Whichever you prefer IS FINE. Please watch this video and thank you for your attention to this matter!
