The Beach Boys version of California Dreaming is worth the view. Roger McGuinn from The Byrds on 12-string. The single's producer, the late Terry Melcher, got John Phillips (on Sax), Michelle Phillips (Mama’s and the Papa’s) and McGuinn (The Byrds) to appear in this video. Denny Doherty (now deceased) was on the east coast and declined. Sadly, Cass Elliott had died years earlier.

Titled The Best of the Beach Boys: 1970–1986 in England, it included three additional songs not issued on the U.S. version: "Tears In The Morning", the single-edit of "Here Comes The Night", and "Sumahama".
