There are two versions of Good Vibrations: The first a more traditional R'n'B influenced version recorded as early as February 1966. But Brian was not satisfied with it and after completing Pet Sounds started anew. He and the band then spent six months (on and off) working on the track, which finally emerged in October 1966 as the colourful masterpiece we all know.
"Good Vibrations" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys, released as a single in October 1966,
Building upon the layered production approach he had previously formulated on Pet Sounds, Its production costs were the most expensive of any single ever produced.
The instrumental of the first version of the song was recorded on 17th February 1966 at Gold Star Studios and was logged as a Pet Sounds session.
More instrumental sections for "Good Vibrations" were recorded between April and June.
Recording of the vocals for "Good Vibrations" took place at CBS Columbia Square on 24th August and continued sporadically until the very last day of assembly on 21st September. On 21st September Brian completed the track after a final Electro-Theremin overdub was added by Tanner.
