Pet Sounds was completed by mid-April [1966] and submitted to Capitol shortly thereafter. Brian was immensely pleased with the end result. 'I was very proud of that album,' he declared. 'The reason we made Pet Sounds was because we specialized in certain sounds. It was our best -- the songs were our pet sounds.'

The album was not unsuccessful. Caroline No, released as a solo single credited to Brian Wilson, went to #32 in the United States.Sloop John B was a #3 single in the U.S. and a #2 single in Great Britain. Wouldn't It Be Nice charted at #8 in the U.S., while its flip side, God Only Knows, was a #2 single in Britain. The album broke into the Top Ten in the U.S. and just missed the top spot in Britain.

Yet, in the United States, the performance of Pet Sounds was slightly off the mark that had been set by its predecessors. It was the group's first studio album in three years not to be certified as a Gold Record. In the years since its release, the blame has been laid on Capitol Records for failing to understand and support the record to the degree they might have.

'At Capitol Records, I think they were a little bit afraid of it,' theorized Carl some years later. 'They probably thought they would lose a market, or a segment of people.'

'This album was so radical compared to the really nice, commercial Barbara Ann's that we had been making, that they had been so successful in selling, that they just wanted more,' explained Bruce. 'They didn't promote Pet Sounds, because they said that it wasn't commercial and the people wouldn't understand it. Capitol just didn't think that this was the direction that we should take, so they didn't promote it.'

'They just kind of put it out,' asserted Mike. 'But it kept building and building. Now, it seems that it's a lot of people's favorite album.'

No less a talent than Paul McCartney has proclaimed it a personal favorite. 'It was Pet Sounds that blew me out of the water,' he recounted. 'I love the album so much.'

The Beatles' producer, George Martin, also has sung the praises of the album. 'The first time I heard Pet Sounds,' he recalled, 'I got that kind of feeling that happens less and less as one gets older and more blase ... that moment when something comes along and blows your mind. Hearing Pet Sounds gave me the kind of feeling that raises the hairs on the back of your neck and you say, 'What is that? It's fantastic!' It gives you an elation that is beyond logic...
