A Tribute to Pet Sounds is a tribute album compiled by the Reverberation Appreciation Society and released on April 29, 2016. Its subject is the Beach Boys' 1966 album Pet Sounds, consisting of various artists' cover versions of the album's tracks. The tribute was created to celebrate Brian Wilson's 50th anniversary performance of Pet Sounds at the Levitation festival in Austin, Texas.[1]

The album will be released exclusively as a double-vinyl LP at the festival. On May 27, 2016, it will be made available in stores.[2]

Reception

Stereogum's Michelle Laggan wrote that the album "strikes a unique balance in the degree to which it strays from the original ... the tribute mostly contains subtle modifications that find a happy middle ground between innovation and mimicry. With this, the album serves it’s ostensible purpose"[3]
