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. Andrew 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.
