It was recorded as the soundtrack for a documentary made by Don Was -
a black & white film that is still the best portrayal of BW I've seen,
with him at his most lucid.
As well as the songs on the soundtrack album, the film also features
Brian at the piano with his brother Carl and their mother, doing
versions of God Only Knows and In My Room, and with Van Dyke Parks
performing Orange Crate Art.
If you can, try to track down the Swedish-only CD single from the
album, Do It Again, which features an absolutely gorgeous then-new
song from those sessions, a Wilson/Paley song called This Song Wants
To Sleep With You Tonight.

Who had tickets for Brian Wilson tonight, but foolishly expected the
train to go to a town at least within 20 miles of the one it was meant
to go to. How stupid.
