«The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man» — добродушная насмешка над Джорджем Шерлоком, промоутером London Records, который сопровождал нас в нашем первом американском турне. Трек основан на хите Бастера Брауна 1960 года «Fannie Mae», который также вдохновил группу Beach Boys на песню «Help Me, Rhonda».
