About
Some of the initial North American pressings of the vinyl version of Carl and the Passions - So Tough in 1972 were packaged in a gatefold album sleeve that included Pet Sounds as a bonus record in a "2-for-1" deal. Some of the cassettes and 8-tracks releases did the same. The reputation of this mono pressing of Pet Sounds as being superior to the original 1966 pressing and all subsequent mono reissues/remasters has circulated for a while in Beach Boys fandom. Several "needledrops" of it have circulated as a result.

Released in June 1972, concurrently made available outside the US and Canada without bonus release as Carl And The Passions – "So Tough"
"Carl and the Passions: So Tough (1972) was a disjointed rush job, hastily assembled between live gigs, that even Carl admitted was weak overall. Warner/Reprise released it as half of a double LP set, coupled with Pet Sounds. The Beach Boys, as part of a settlement with Capitol Records, had the rights to our LPs from after 1965 for ten years, so someone at Warner/Reprise had the bright idea of coupling Carl and the Passions: So Tough with Pet Sounds, undermining the whole makeover strategy."
Mike Love, James S. Hirsch, Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy
Originally mastered at Artisan, subsequent reissued c.1974 with either Artisan or Winchester mastering stamp.
