Title: Did Al Jardine play on the Surfin USA album? Post by: SurfsUpTillIDie on September 20, 2017, 02:07:42 PM Everything that I have read points to him as not being in The Beach Boys at the time of the recording of the Surfin USA album. He isn't on the back of the album either, but did he play on any track of Surfin USA?
Thanks! Title: Re: Did Al Jardine play on the Surfin USA album?

He's on "Surfin'" on the SS album, and on some of the "Surfer Girl" sessions on vocals/bass, and then on into the rest of the albums.

Surfin' USA- No Al Surfer Girl- Al plays some bass, sings some backing vocals and did some hand claps Little Deuce Coupe- Al plays some bass and sings some backing vocals Shut Down Volume 2- No more Dave, Al is back full time Title: Re: Did Al Jardine play on the Surfin USA album?

There was some overlap here wasn't there? Title: Re: Did Al Jardine play on the Surfin USA album?

I guess not?

There was some overlap here wasn't there? You may be right about that. Dave has always said that he played on the first 5 Beach Boys albums. But there's no indication from any source I have that Dave is on the Shut Down 2 album. I wish somebody would set the record straight. Title: Re: Did Al Jardine play on the Surfin USA album?

I always thought the Al to Dave to Al transition in the early years was one of the more murky parts of the early BB. Title: Re: Did Al Jardine play on the Surfin USA album?

There wouldn't seem to be any more information on David's departure than that recorded in The Lost Beach Boy (p. 98 to end of chapter). Unless more has come to light since then (2007)...

I guess not? No - we know for sure now that this was not the case. Title: Re: Did Al Jardine play on the Surfin USA album?

A 10th anniversary version is being announced soon so we'll have to see! |
