(Gibson) The on-again/off-again news of a possible 50th anniversary reunion tour has been a bit taxing for fans just hoping to hear those sweet harmonies one last time. But Al Jardine, the band's original guitarist, has already brought about a reunion for his new solo album A Postcard From California. Jardine's track, "Don't Fight the Sea," began as a track on a proposed solo album back in 1978 and Jardine brought Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnson to sing background. The track never surfaced and 10 years later, Brian Wilson popped in to sing a high harmony.
In 2009, Jardine coaxed Mike Love into the studio to record the baritone part. Jardine told Rolling Stone, "All the negativity between us is gone. He would have been very disappointed had I not asked him to be on it." - more on this story
