MISC NOTES: There was no artist named "Christopher Monte." The name was simply used as a label credit for these recordings by Los Angeles' famed studio band, the "Wrecking Crew." This surf-rock styled tune features the harmonica playing of the songs' composer, Dick Torst, the drumming of Hal Blaine, and an arrangement by Jack Nitzsche.
