Produced by the demented genius that is Mark Wirtz, who recycled the intro riff for part of his Teenage Opera, "Weatherman". Thus:

The Peanut 45 was released 10/21/66 in the UK.

I have this compilation CD, Guess I'm Dumb - The Songs Of The Beach Boys, and it has "I'm Waiting For The Day" by Peanut on there. The CD was released in 2002 on Sanctuary Records Group.

As an artifact, it's a cool find, as a BBs cover - not so much. I only like the arrangements, kind of. The girl has obviously no voice, as if somebody invited a passer-by to record the lead & (nearly inaudible) background vocals due to absence of the real singer. Generally, I don't favor idea of a BBs song being covered by a female artist, it ruins the beauty & magic of the original. Saying so, I still have the so-called rare exceptions.
