"Catch A Wave" features Brian and Mike trading off lead vocals in the middle of the verses. You can also hear them in the choruses, along with the other Boys.

Brian Wilson sang in a falsetto on "Warmth of the Sun," "I Get Around" and most Beach Boys hits. A mere decade later his voice was shot as a result of smoking and poor health.

The Raiders toured Western Europe as the opening act for the Beach Boys. Mark Lindsay called it "an eye-opening experience." thanks in part to Dennis Wilson's drug use. "Bruce Johnston was a health nut. He took thousands of vitamins and other pills. Dennis also took thousands of things...not as many vitamin pills as Bruce Johnston," he says.

The people on the tour were concerned that Dennis would get caught with drugs at a border stop. The Raiders and Beach Boys had their own plane for travelling. One time they pulled into Heathrow and were diverted to a corner of the runway. The plane were searched.

The UK police found Johnston's pills and Johnston had to accompany them to the police station. It took several hours for the police to test the pills. Eventually the police had to sheepishly tell Johnston that the tests came back clean. There was no problem with his pills.

The drumming is prominent on "California Girls" but Dennis Wilson only drummed on tour, not in the studio. In fact he was hardly heard on the Beach Boys' records.

Piano Red recorded a song called "Bald-Headed Lena," later performed by the Lovin' Spoonful with a rare vocal performance by guitarist Zal Yanofsky. The image of a bald woman is a recurrent motif in pop lyrics. The Kinks recorded a song by producer Shel Talmy called "Bald-Headed Woman." There is also the Beach Boys "She's Going Bald." Not to mention Little Richard's Bald-Headed Sally.
