It seems the links just redirect back to this page. Here they are hopefully fixed. (The URLs listed by Wata are correct.)
Waves of Love
Jenny Clover
The Middle of Nowhere

The songs are all nice enough, The Middle of Nowhere is something that might have made it to my main playlist if Al was singing. I'll stick to the original Waves of Love(s).

Mediocre recordings (to be fair, clearly not intended as finished, properly released songs) of mediocre-to-decent songs sung by some great singers.

Thanks for sharing these three songs, Wata! Where did they come from? Are they new recordings?
Al needs to find a lyricist. Hard to believe that after 58 years in the industry, he hasn't found better ones.
"Waves Of Love"...That song must be important to Al because of the endless tinkering. Somewhere in all of these versions is a good final song. I would've liked to see what Brian and Joe Thomas could've done with it back in the TWGMTR sessions.

There's literally no information about it - I doubt if official accounts of Al Jardine on Twitter/Facebook ever posted about them. However, there was a post last month that "Waves" (of Love) was finally completed: Also, there was a notice about the deluxe edition of "A Postcard from California" on Al's website earlier this year, which is now taken down. I believe these have something to do with the three new tracks.

If anything belongs in the topic, it's this (and of course the more backups, the better):
Larry Dvoskin... Long ago I hunted him down to get an answer to a question a poster called Cat Collins had asked on the Capitol Board, about whether there was any truth in the rumour that Dvoskin had collaborated with The Beach Boys in some way. Larry promptly registered there as "todayisthefuture" and posted the following:
Hi Cat, John, BB Fans,
Hope you are all "Getting Around" with "Good Vibrations", "Wouldn't It Be Nice" on this beautiful July Day, but "God Only Knows" its hard sometimes!
Larry Dvoskin here, to answer the question.
The answer- Al Jardine.
I am one of his songwriting partners. In early 90's when Carl Wilson was still alive, there was exploration into reuniting the group & Brian and recording a new album with producer Don Was.
I went to Al's glorious ranch and we wrote and demo'd a bunch of songs= "Waves Of Love", "Good Good Feelings", "Wish", "Jennifer Clover" ( named after Al's cow and co-written with his wonderful wife- Mary Ann Jardine).
At that time- Al's eldest son "Matt Jardine" was touring with the band replacing Brian Wilson's voice ( no one could replace Brian himself) by singing all those really high falsetto notes.
So Al, Matt, Carl Wilson, and maybe Bruce I recall- at one point recorded a bunch of songs...which are unreleased yet, but are really high quality songs.
To this day the friendship and creative relationship continues.
A closing personal insight to share with the forum is this:
Buddha overheard musicians one day talking about a stringed instrument. They said " if the string is too loose it wont play, if too tight it breaks"...he left the forest to go into the world and proclaimed "The middle path is the road of enlightenment".
The Beach Boys are like a string instrument...Their singing combination, and personas. Wound tight- to produce a beautiful, colorful sound for the world to enjoy. Painful, uncomfortable for the musicians themselves, to be wound so tightly...which has often gone over the line to drug abuse, members leaving, and those pesky lawsuits.
It has a higher, cosmic meaning and brought us all a world of original, one of a kind music which lifts up our hearts and spirits with joy.
Hope in some small way this info/insight has been of service to you.
Kindest Regards, Larry Dvoskin
