Sundazed has done it again. Easily the best reissue label in America (and that includes Rhino, who put out loads of crass product), they've put together an awesome CD here. Chad & Jeremy were one of the best of the British Invasion acts. Surprising? Not really, when you consider the quality of their music. I saw the duo in concert in the mid-80s at one of those "British Invasion Revival" tours, and Chad & Jeremy were far and away the best act on the bill. Pick up this CD.

This is a reissue of their 3rd album with a LOT of bonus tracks added.Listening to these warm,sunny pop tunes takes me back to a youth I'll always treasure.God bless Chad and Jeremy.....

Probably the best compilation of C&J. From the first track - Distant Shores the quality of the album just gets better and better. We all remember the duo's appearance on Batman 'The Cat's Meow'/'The Bat's Kow Tow' Just as you get to enjoy 'Distant Shores' Catwoman steals their voices! Also there was an edited version of 'Teenage Failure' during the closing scenes of part two. You can now hear the full versions of both songs! There is even a French version of 'Distant Shores' and 'You Are She'. Other great tracks are 'Early Mornin' Rain' which is quite different from the Elvis version. 'Sixpence' is also enjoyable.

I'm a biased reviewer on this one. This album was one of the first I ever purchased as a teen in the 60s, and was one of my favorites. Easy and nostalgic listening. It will bring back quiet memories of romance, relationships and dreams in a different time and place - a bit of a time capsule. Not unlike Simon and Garfunkle, and Peter and Gordon, although a bit more mellow perhaps.

Easy listening 60's music. Music you could understand and dance with your girl, up close and personal. One of the better British groups.

This album is a charming combination of great songs and smooth vocals. Distant Shores is one of the most romantic songs and Chad and Jeremy nail it.After their first two American albums , a slight mis-step in Before and After (too many covers). But this album sets the table for where they were going with inventive arrangements and pristine harmonies. With a wonderful selection of bonus cuts , how can one go wrong ??? Buy it for the person you wish to share it with forever :)

Homeward Bound is the original version of this Simon and Garfunkel song.
Chad & Jeremy cut "Homeward Bound" on 11-26-65, before Simon & Garfunkels's on 12-14-65.
