Both of STeVE's versions of Pet Sounds are trash. The DCC has no dynamics and the AF has shit EQ

DCC Pet Sounds was "mastered" just like that. It really is pure dogshit. Plus, he has lied about its production for ages: It was a straight transfer, we didn't do anything to it. We ran it straight, from beginning to end. Side One, Side Two. Nothing, No EQ, none. We = I, the great unwashed remasturbator with cloth ears.
We have spent years talking about this over and over. October, 1992, the original tape of PET SOUNDS brought over to LRS and dubbed. First, to 30 ips, with a split to digital using full track headstack. Then, two track stack, left only. Then two track headstack right only. Second, tube playback to 30 ips, with a split to digital. Took about two and one-half hours and back to warehouse. A week later the safety came over. Same thing (not taking any chances).
Maybe all these precautions because you didn't know what the fuck you were doing?
You may prefer the DCC version, but it was not xfrd flat in spite of what Steve Hoffman claims. On the contrary imo and knowing what the flat tape sounds like, the DCC version is actually the most re-equalised version ever issued. No version of Pet Sounds has ever been released without equalisation and theat includes the original mono lp in 1966. Hope that helps clear things up...... Mark
Look pal, when STEVE reEQ's old albums, they become what the artist originally intended.
My final attempt at clearing up some incorrect "facts" about the various Pet Sounds releases: 1- I'm not implying it, it is a fact. The DCC version is not a flat xfr and if it were there wouldn't be any "Hoffman" tape to use (why use a "flat" copy from DCC when we already have lots of flat copies made in 1966). The flat master does not sound like the DCC release, which is fine. If you like the DCC CD then it may be a great mastering job, but it most certainly is not a flat xfr. 2- Hoffman's tape would be a heavily eqd copy and while some listeners prefer the sound of it, Brian does not. A dagger right into the great masturbators tender lion heart.
I don't believe Hoffman had the original master in 93 for the DCC release. My recollection is he had to use the NY copy and s ince we had already discovered the master had dissapeared from Capitol, I would likely recall (as would EMI) if he was the last one to use the original master. In addition I believe we did the GV box before the DCC of PS and I know the analog master had gone missing by then.
That's right. No mastertapes for Guffy, just an inferior copy.

"While some listeners prefer the sound of it, Brian does not" is the most brutal takedown of Our Host I have ever read. Far worse has rightfully been said about Steve, but that one had to hurt him, even if it had to get through all that Vicodin.

But how could Brian hate STeVe’s version so much? I mean, they ate eggs together and if that doesn’t equal love for Hoofy I don’t know what does.

I really think that STeVE believes his own lies.

Brian doesn't have the ears. He's got one working ear. Steve has two. That means Steve hears twice as much as Brian.
Steve wins this one.

Steve is also musicologist. Not many people can lay claim to such extensive knowledge.
