I always thought Santa Ana Winds" would've fit better on L.A. Light Album than KTSA. L.A. Light Album would've definitely benefited from it's energy. Maybe something like this:

1. Good Timin'
2. Full Sail
3. Santa Ana Winds
4. Angel Come Home
5. Goin' South
6. Lady Lynda


But you gotta ditch the spoken word intro for it to fit into L.A. Light Album. That part is so dorky, if it's gonna be on there, IMO it fits in better with overall dorkier material on KTSA.

I used the older version on my alt LA, but I wish it had the later lyrics!

Surf's Up ! The Beach Boys On Record 1961-1981, p.293 (first edition):

"Several years later (i.e. after 1978), Alan explained that "Santa Ana Winds" was conceived as the opening song of a trilogy. The original concept followed "Winds" with "Song Of The Whale" (working title: "Down Along The Coastline") then "Monterey". The suite ended with a second section of "Song Of The Whale".

Or as we now know it, "Winds" followed by "Looking Down The Coast".  Smiley

i don't care if I'm in the minority or not, but I love Brian's intro vocal on Looking down the coast. Then again, I'm a mark for Brian's voice.

Would be very good with an album containing a tracklist something like:

Side A:

Good Timin'
Angel Come Home
Santa Ana Winds (without spoken intro)
Looking Down The Coast
California Feelin'

Side B:

Don't Fight The Sea
Lady Lynda
Baby Blue
Goin' South
It's Not Too Late (Carl vocals, yey!)
5-10secs pause
Here Comes The Night (single version) - cmon it's far from perfect, but this song gives the album the album the added disco flavour!

Brian's falsetto at the end of the track always sends shivers down my spine (for the right reasons).

'Won't last foreverrrrrrrr'.

Ummm... if you're going to say something like this, might be an idea to check you're quoting the right track. Otherwise you end up looking... well... silly.

For some reason, I get Santa ana Winds and Winds of Change confused at times. Similar era, Al Jardine involvement, er, 'Winds' in the title ...

Except you've left off the best track on the record: Love Surrounds Me.

I wonder whose idea it was to include the very unnecessary spoken word intro. It's sooo clunky and not needed!

That is so Al...betcha he was behind it. I mean, look at all the Jardine-related voice-overs:

- The intro on "'Cassius' Love vs. 'Sonny' Wilson"
- I Saw Santa Rockin' 'Round the Christmas Tree
- Tidepool Interlude
- California Energy/Recall Blues
- The Beaks of Eagles
- Lady Liberty

I LIKE the spoken intro… I guess it comes from the more folky tradition, in which direction Al leans.

And you know what? I wish Al would just do that. His solo stuff (well...the one solo album he has Smiley  ) just leans too much on the Beach Boys crutch, you know what I mean? I'd love him to do an album, or even a concert at an intimate venue, in which he just completely geeks out on folk stuff. I'd love to hear what he would do with that.

I bet if Brian did the spoken intro, people would love it.

I heard Al has long petitioned for a spoken word intro to be added to "Sloop John B".

"Sloop John B" is an old folk standard that I suggested to Brian. One of the chord changes you hear was my idea.

I guess it's more annoying on Santa Ana Winds (as opposed to a tune like TM Song) because it's right on top of a cool musical part which I'd much prefer to hear by itself.

I'd love him to do an album, or even a concert at an intimate venue, in which he just completely geeks out on folk stuff. I'd love to hear what he would do with that.

I couldn't agree more.  A folk-oriented album, in a stripped-down, rootsy, organic style, with a sympathetic producer on board (one who actually forces Al to finish the damn thing rather than fiddle with it forever), showcasing performances that have the benefits of both Al's veteran experience and his surprisingly sprightly pipes.  Such a thing could quite plausibly win critical acclaim, not to mention possible attention from some quarters not normally drawn towards Beach Boys-related products.

(It still wouldn't be a hit though.  Let's keep things in perspective, it would still be an Al Jardine solo album.)
