It contains cover versions of popular songs as well as original material written or co-written by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

Although Brian is the album's only credited producer, most of the production was actually handled by his collaborator at the time, David Sandler, alongside engineer Stephen Desper.

Thanks to a mutual connection with Bruce Johnston, Brian Wilson met David Sandler, a Minnesota-based songwriter/producer, at a session for "Good Time".

Wilson was occasionally absent during sessions, leaving Sandler and Desper to produce the record by themselves, sometimes with assistance from Sunrays member Rick Henn.

[2] Sessions coincided with the Beach Boys' recording of Carl and the Passions – "So Tough", an album that featured less involvement from Wilson than Spring.

"[7] One of the album's outtakes was a medley of the Four Tops' "Baby I Need Your Loving" and the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin"; the track was abandoned after Wilson received a lukewarm reaction from his bandmates.
