The album is a collection of various singles and sessions, highlighted by the hits "Luck Be a Lady", "Anytime At All", "Somewhere In Your Heart", "Stay With Me", and "Tell Her (You Love Her Each Day)." The version of "My Kind of Town" featured here is not the edited single version. This soundtrack recording contains a verse before the chorus that was edited out of the single version. It is possible the album title was a nod to the Beatles' December 1964 Capitol album Beatles '65, and potentially the Beach Boys' March 1965 Capitol album The Beach Boys Today!.

This album is available on compact disc, and all the songs are available on The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings.
