Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" with Daryl Dragon, hinting towards the sound of his solo debut album, "Pacific Ocean Blue". Other songwriting contributions came from Jack Rieley (two co-credits), Alan Jardine (two co-credits), Mike Love (two co-credits), Tandyn Almer (one co-credit) and Carl Wilson (one co-credit). This LP was mixed for Quadraphonic reproduction (also compatible with stereo).
