Pet Projects: The Brian Wilson Productions is a CD compilation album of the recorded work of record producer, songwriter, and musician Brian Wilson as he attempted to branch away from his band the Beach Boys during the early-to-mid-1960s and early 1970s.[1] The compilation features performing artists such as Glen Campbell, Gary Usher, the Honeys, American Spring, Jan and Dean, Sharon Marie, and the Survivors. It was released with a full-color 20-page booklet with rare photos and a detailed essay.[2][3]

The compilation is the only one of its kind to be released under internationally legitimate circumstances. Previously, Still I Dream of it: Rare Works of Brian Wilson was a similarly-themed grey area Japanese release now considered by law as a bootleg.[3][4] The issue of legality is also prominent on Pet Projects; some tracks were evidently unavailable due to contractual reasons.[1] Noted absences include Bob & Sheri's "The Surfer Moon" & "Humpty Dumpty", the Castells' "I Do", the Honeys' "The Love of a Boy and a Girl", Bob & Bobby's "Twelve-O-Four" & "Baby What You Want Me To Do", and Ron Wilson's "I'll Keep on Loving You" & "As Tears Go By".[5]
