Notes
-
- The Survivors was a side-project of Brian, including Bob Norberg, Dave Nowlen and Richard Alarain. This single was their only released work- the song has the original lyrics for "Car Crazy Cutie" and features a powerful doo-wop styled production.
- Released in the week the Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand" staring getting promoted and the single sunk without trace!
