A Postcard From California - California Post Card

A Postcard from California is Al Jardine's debut studio solo album. For the album Jardine recruited several music icons including his former Beach Boys band mates. The album also contains several unreleased Beach Boys songs including "Don't Fight the Sea" and "Looking Down the Coast".

Jardine added "Waves of Love" as one of the bonus tracks on his 2012 reissue of the album. Intentionally or not, the digital and CD versions of the 2012 reissue contained entirely different versions of the song. The CD included a more laid-back, live soundcheck-sounding version with Carl Wilson's lead buried among other voices, while the digital version contained a much more "produced" and punchy version in a different key and with Carl's lead brought to the fore. There is a third version of "Waves of Love" on the Japanese version.
