It's a mixture, themed around 'songs used in films', with some new
tracks. The tracklisting is:
Still Cruisin' - a Melcher/Love track with a nice Carl vocal, a la
Kokomo but slightly better. All the living BBs except Brian appear.
Somewhere Near Japan - The last 'actually quite good' track the BBs
ever did, a John Phillips song reworked by Love, Melcher and Johnston.
Love, Johnston, Jardine and Carl Wilson take turns at lead vocals
Island Girl - an Al Jardine song with vocals by Al, Carl and Brian (no
Mike or Bruce) - the last time they worked together on a new, released
song. Shame it was rubbish.
In My Car - a Brian solo track with chorus vocals redone by Carl and
Al (no Mike or Bruce). Very poor Brian vocals wreck a fairly decent
track idea.
Kokomo
Wipe Out (with the Fat Boys) - incidentally, only Brian and Andy Paley
appear on this
Make It Big - a half-written thing by Love and Melcher, with some nice
Carl vocals on it.
The other three tracks were previously released (although the mix of
Wouldn't It Be Nice is the wrong one, also used on Made In The USA).
