Hollywood, CA (December 2, 2002)--On February 25, 2003, Capitol
Records will release the Beach Boys classic, Pet Sounds, on
DVD-Audio (plays on all DVD players). [ProSound News] 'The disc will play five different ways: Advanced Resolution Surround, Advanced Resolution Stereo, Advanced Resolution Mono, DTS 5.1 Surround Sound and DVD-Video Compatible Dolby Digital 5.1.'
I wonder if the Advanced Resolution Mono is a tip of the hat to Brian Wilson who is deaf in one ear and therefor mixed in mono. Well done.

MediaGuardian.co.uk | Broadcast | Advert attacking Bush's intelligence banned 'Giles Pilbrow, the 2DTV producer, dismissed the request to seek Mr Bush's permission.
