    Notes:
      The SMiLE 2004 version is very close to the Beach Boys version on the Good Vibrations box set, featuring a great lead from Brian and great backing from his band.

      Must Destroy records released a limited edition of this song, on colored vinyl only (3 different colors were available, blue, green and yellow) as a single a week before the official release of SMiLE and this became a surprise #29 hit in the UK, Brian's first solo hit there.
