Background

For the past few years, thanks to copyright laws, The Beach Boys have released a few digital-only releases featuring rarities, unreleased material, and other recordings that have not otherwise been officially released, all of which are fifty years old in that particular year. This show was part of the band's promotion tour of the album Pet Sounds in 1966, during that time Brian Wilson was working in the then upcoming/unreleased album Smile.

All tracks are written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, except where noted.
