The credits on the song include Glenn Campbell on guitar, Hal Blaine on drums, Jimmy Bond on bass and Larry Knechtel on Hammond Organ along with the members of The Beach Boys.
"Good Vibrations" was released as a single in October, 1966 and was the band's third #1 hit. It also charted at #1 in the U.K. The song sold over 230,000 copies in its first four days of release.
