It was 56 years ago today (May 16th, 1966), that the Beach Boys released their legendary Pet Sounds album. The album, which included the group's classic hits "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "Sloop John B.," and "God Only Knows," was like most of the group's early work; the brainchild of their leader and producer Brian Wilson. Wilson had retired from the road in 1964 to write and produce material while the other members brothers Dennis and Carl Wilson, cousin Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston spent up to 150 days a year on the road. Pet Sounds is the first complete Beach Boys album to mainly feature session backing musicians, and is considered rock's first symphonic album.

Wilson sketched out his ideas thematically with lyricist
Tony Asher, and together they created a romantic, coming-of-age concept album, which dealt with such adult themes as pre-marital sex, leaving home, and coping with emotional and romantic limitations.

Pet Sounds at the Beach Boys record company s request:
“No, I wanted it to be a single but when they said album, I said fine, that was okay with me. I said it would help the album. Y know, it would help it sell and it would fit perfectly.”
