Notes:
- This version of "Big Sur" has never been released. It was intended for 1970's "Sunflower" but a completely different., yet super shitty country version ended up on 1973's "Holland." It is my single most favorite BB song.
- Terry Melcher was not only a famed producer and drug buddies with Brian Wilson! He was also Doris Day's son!
