Apart from Billy Milano, it featured a completely different line-up compared to the first album released a little more than a year previous – it included among others, Tim Mallare on drums, who later went on to play with the thrash metal band Overkill.

This release has two parts:

-"The Movie" (track 1) which is a spoken word story featuring actual songs in between the dialogue for a fake movie.

-"The Sound Track Without The Movie" (tracks 2-8). It is the actual music from the movie separated into tracks and without all the dialogue.

Incorrect Track listing

The CD lists the following erroneous track list on the cover:

No.TitleLength
1."Surfin' U.S.A." 
2."Surf's Up" 
3."Sargent Drexell Theme" 
4."Mr. Oofus" 
5."Party Animal" 
6."Color My World" 
7."Shout" 
  • This track list is in fact incorrect, as "The Movie" is track one, "Sargent Drexell Theme" is only included as part of track one, and there is an unlisted CD-bonus track ("New Song") as track eight.
