Music Monday: Hear new Dylan and 40th anniversary edition of "Pet Sounds"

AOL continues its stream of brand new albums this week with Bob Dylan's well-reviewed new album, Modern Times, named after the Charlie Chaplin classic.

Also streaming is the 40th anniversary reissue of the Beach Boys' classic, Pet Sounds. In addition to the album, the new package includes a DVD with several goodies for fans. According to the Los Angeles Times:

Along with "The Making of Pet Sounds" documentary and several promotional films — the music videos of their day — shot to accompany "Sloop John B" and "Good Vibrations" is an excerpt from "Rhythm of Life," a previously unreleased BBC-TV interview that brings together two of the most innovative and celebrated producers of the rock era: the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Beatles producer George Martin.

The remastered new release contains the original mono mix of the album, along with the stereo mixes that were released as part of Pet Sounds Sessions several years ago. Check out the full article for more info.
