John,
Perhaps I shouldn't question an artifact you can check against, but the date
makes no historical sense. Brian Wilson began formulating "good vibrations"
some time during the "Pet Sounds" sessions. As an aside, you can hear stereo
mixes of the rehearsals in the box set, "The Pet Sounds Sessions." The Pet
Sounds LP wasn't released until May of 1966, and "good Vibrations" came out
several months later.
No Beach Boys albums appeared in stereo up to that time because Brian Wilson
was deaf in one ear and seems to have had complete control over production,
which in every other way was a good thing. Surgery apparently restored some
hearing in the deaf ear, and "Friends," three albums later, came out in
stereo. In the past two decade, stereo remixes of Beach Boys material at
their height have appeared in drips and drabs, the best being on that Pet
sounds Sessions box set, which includes a wonderful stereo remix of the
album itself.
Regarding the Beatles Stereo Set, something to keep in mind is that
Capital's versions of the Beatles albums not only differed in content from
those released in the UK, but the LPs were also, I believe, inferior in
quality. The stereo set's "Sergeant Pepper's" is light years ahead of the US
LP. I don't have the UK LP of that album. However, I have the UK "Beetles
for Sale" LP, and it compares favorably with the stereo set version. Still,
the stereo set is very well done, the sound is terrific, and the convenience
of a CD undeniably surpasses that of an LP.

High Ford, That isn't true. I have an old 12 inch copy of that song that was
done in stereo. The date on this old record, is March 5, 1965. My best
regards. John.
