Additional information
Beach Boys include: Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Alan Jardine, Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson (vocals). Unknown Contributor Role: Elliott Lott. While the seeds of PET SOUNDS' sunshine pop glory were sown with the impressive 1965 record BEACH BOYS TODAY, later that same year the Boys took a brief look back at their summer-fun days with SUMMER DAYS & SUMMER NIGHTS, which contained such beach-party evergreens as the summer-love paean "California Girls" and the jolly, chugging "Help Me, Rhonda." Listening to such unassuming fare as "Amusement Parks U.S.A." in retrospect, it's hard to believe that the Beach Boys' aforementioned pop art masterwork was mere months away.
