   I didn't particularly like it (other than the 3 or 4 undisputed   
   classics it contains) the first few times I heard it but it's grown on   
   me over the years.   
      
   I have almost every one of the BB "two-fers" CDs that were released   
   back in the 90s.   
      
   Capitol thought Pet Sounds so sacrosanct that they never put Pet Sounds   
   on a two-fer, releasing it only as a single CD (with a few bonus   
   tracks).   
      
   Hope Brian is content in his twilight years, the family seems   
   determined to make him so after his last wife died. Not any infighting   
   going on unlike a lot of these cases with big rock stars.
