On February 17, 1966, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys made his first recording effort on what was to become “Good Vibrations.” The rest of the group toured while he composed. It took six more months and $50,000 in studio time to develop the sound, which was pieced together from more than 90 hours of tape recorded over hundreds of sessions. The single was part of an album, Pet Sounds, that is regarded as one of their best.
