Album Notes & Community Reviews

A deliberately unpolished, informal cover of a doo-wop standard, featuring prominent studio chatter, laughter, and guest vocals from Dean Torrence. The relaxed, party-like atmosphere of the recording provided a stark but highly successful contrast to the increasingly complex orchestration of Brian Wilson's contemporary work.
