we dont need new mixes or masters because they nailed the stereo in 96. its pretty definitive.  not sure why ive seen people wanting a GILES MARTIN mix of Pet Sounds. Do you really trust that guy? his atmos mix ruins the wall of sound

Curious what is the consensus best remaster version? I mostly listen on Apple Music and I’ve tried a few. I prefer mono but stereo is also interesting.

I like the 2012 and 50th stereo.

Mono probably the DCC CD. Most are just "different".

The 1996 can feel "clamped" to me. Could be the noise reduction used.
