The Beach Boys first made waves in the 60s, and several decades later, the group has cemented its place in music history. Among their most famed bodies of work is the 1966 album “Pet Sounds,” which turned 60 on May 16. In honor of the major birthday, Amazon has rolled out merchandise dedicated to both the famed album and the group at large.
Collection standouts include the “Pet Sounds Session” album, available in both vinyl and CD formats, along with Amazon-exclusive album merchandise, ranging from t-shirts and crewnecks to branded water bottles and tumblers. In addition to the merchandise celebrating the “Pet Sounds” anniversary, there are also items tied to some of the group’s top-charting songs, including “Surfin’ USA” and “Good Vibrations.” The full lineup is available to shop now on Amazon, with prices starting at $15.99.

Variety‘s Chris Willman recently sat down with the surviving members of the Beach Boys — Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston — to talk about the album six decades later. Love, when asked if he could have imagined such a celebration surrounding the anniversary, said, “I don’t think any modern artist thinks in terms of celebrating their album 60 years down the road. It’s pretty amazing.” He went on to explain that the group “wanted to create an album that was comprehensive in nature and then come out with it,” while also noting how different it was from the chart-topping records that had brought them to that point. This celebration comes a year after the death of the band’s co-founder, Brian Wilson, who was 82.
Whether a casual listener or a lifelong fan, the curated merchandise collection has something for everyone looking to join the celebration. Shop standout pieces below.
