[1979]
Beach Boys fans know this as a tune originally from Wild Honey but some insane aficionados prefer this 1979 rerecorded disco version. The legendary Curt Boettcher (The Millennium/Sagittarius) along with Bruce Johnson were behind the production on this one. A ten minute version took up most of side two of L.A. (Light Album) however this is the 7 inch single edit of the tune. Many hated this including guitarist Al Jardine and concert goers. I like.
[1967]
The Wild Honey LP is an underrated masterpiece. Its got a harder stripped back r&b vibe compared to the sophisticated psych pop of the previous two records. Like the rest of the album Here Comes The Night is heavy on the piano, bass and organ: A very nifty proto lo-fi sound. I do love it when Brian has a sing on Beach Boys songs.
