Don't expect too faithful a recreation of the 60s though. The
harpsichord parts are done on a synthesiser, parts of the tracks (like
the woodshop noises) are sampled from the original recordings, and
Brian's vocals have obviously been digitally manipulated (very well -
he's not sounded this good on record in many years).
