Rarities

This page consists of a list of all tracks not on Chad and Jeremy's original stereo LPs. Some are alternate versions or mixes, others are entirely different songs. These tracks, combined with a complete collection of World Artists and Columbia original (non compilation) USA LPs, will give you the entire Chad and Jeremy catalogue.

Unfortunately for all but the most dedicated fan, many of these tracks were released on rare vinyl no longer seen often, and others are on out of print CDs. The resurgence of C&J reissues since 2000 has kept this list busy, and kept it growing, as more and more tracks are released on shiny discs that were never originally released on, umm, not quite as shiny but nonetheless quite shiny, discs.

 

"If I Had My Way" (live) - This excellent and energetic live track kicked off their set at the Mayfair Theatre in late 1963.  This show (including the other five tracks listed below) was recorded, and released on Ember Records in the UK, as "Live Folk From The Mayfair Theatre", incuding several other artists from that gig. Included on El Records' "A Summer Song" CD in 2005, and the Japanese "Sing For You" mini-LP style reissue in 2006. If you want the introduction, you'll be stuck with the old vinyl, though. Oddly, even though this track directly precedes the following track, the Japanese CD fades out the applause at the end. Also, the CD releases of this feel very flat and lifeless as well as being very bass heavy, and they are clearly taken from a vinyl transfer. That means that as well as for the intros and non-faded tracks, you might want to seek out the vinyl for the best possible sound quality.

"This Morning" (live) - A slow folk song from the Mayfair Theatre performance. Included on the Japanese "Sing For You" mini-LP style reissue in 2006, with applause faded up and down at the start and end of the track.

"Ain't That Just Like Me" (live) - A quick send up, mostly by Jeremy, who apologizes for the "appalling display". Included on the Japanese "Sing For You" mini-LP style reissue in 2006. Again, it fades up and down on the CD.

"If I Had A Hammer" (live) - A fascinating cover, and better than Trini Lopez by a country mile! Included on the Japanese "Sing For You" mini-LP style reissue in 2006. Fades up, but this time it is less noticeable as the track starts with silence. The end fade is not an addition for the CD as this marked the original end of side one of the LP.

"Yesterday's Gone" (live) - A glimpse at how this track sounds without the slick John Barry production. Included on El Records "A Summer Song" CD in 2005, but you'll want the Japanese "Sing For You" mini-LP style reissue , if just to have the other four tracks that are only on that CD. Unfortunately, you'll lose out on the intro from the announcer, but you'll probably live. Fades out at the end on CD.

"Stanley And Dora" (live) - Their Anglosized version of "Frankie and Johnny", another very funny track, including a slew of silly accents. Included on the Japanese "Sing For You" mini-LP style reissue in 2006, bit of course it is faded up like all the other tracks on this CD - this time missing out on the compere's intro.

"Lemon Tree" - This song was the b side to "Yesterday's Gone". It is available on the Capitol "More Chad And Jeremy" LP, as well as the US One Way "The Best Of Chad And Jeremy" CD, and the German "Sing For You/Second Album" CD. It also has appeared on the Japanese "Second Album" reissue in 2006. All releases are in mono.

Like I Love You Today - The original stereo mix of this on "Yesterday's Gone" (but which sounds best on the UK "Sing For You") is a primitive one. For the majority of the song, the vocal is all that's on the left, and the orchestra is fairly low in the mix (on the right). The predominant sound on the right is the guitar. The Capitol "Best of Chad & Jeremy" (loaded up with Dave Dexter reverb) mix is different. The 1966 mix puts some percussion and one of the guitar lines on the left. It also centers the vocal.

Like I Love You Today - A 1991 remix of this one (on the Repertoire CD, or the Varese Sarabande CD with its channels reversed) is quite close to the 1966 mix, sans reverb.

"Early In The Morning" - This song, which sounds as close as we'll ever hear to their original folk sound, was issued as the b side of "Like I Love You Today" in January of 1964 in the UK. It is available on the German "Sing For You/Second Album" CD and on the Japanese "Second Album" mini-LP reissue from 2006.

"A Summer Song" - This alternate was originally issued on the United Artists UK version of the "A Summer Song" single. Contrary to popular belief, it did not debut on Sire Records 1974 "History of British Rock Volume 2", although that was the first stereo release of the track. It is on the "Sing For You/Second Album" CD in stereo, as well as a US various artists CD called "Baby Boomer Classics: The British Invasion". Most recently it appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese "Sing For You" reissue. It is distinguishable from the standard take in the first two lines of the song, here sung solo by Jeremy and Chad respectively. On the standard version, the lines are sung in duet.

"Only For The Young" - This instrumental, featuring Chad with a middle eight guitar solo, is on the "Yesterday's Gone" LP, but is notable as the only World Artists track never released on CD in the USA, as well as the only World Artists track never released by Ember in the UK. It is on a rare Canadian CD by Polytel Elite, called (imaginatively enough!) "Sing For You", but that's mono. For stereo, you need the Japanese reissue of the UK "Second Album"

"If I Loved You" - This huge hit is not on a World Artists LP. There are several mixes in stereo made for other LPs. First, the UK "Sing For You" LP has a mix with the guitar and orchestra on opposite channels of the stereo picture.

"If I Loved You" - On Capitol's "The Best of Chad and Jeremy" vinyl this track appears (unfortunately, with reverb added) is a stereo mix with the lead guitar and orchestra on the same channel, unlike the UK mix.

"If I Loved You" - In 1991, a remix of this was done for inclusion on a cancelled Capitol Collectors Series CD. It has the guitar a touch louder, and the orchestra a touch quieter. It is on Repertoire's "Sing For You/Second Album" CD, One Way's "Best Of" and just about everywhere else the song is in stereo on CD.

"If I Loved You" - Appears on the Fidu bootleg LP with an extra "ooh" in the fade out, as well as a slightly messed up ending. A very subtle, yet distinct difference. Otherwise, it sounds very much like the same take, like most of the other Fidu alternates. This is because the duo would sometimes patch in "wild" vocals over the mistakes in otherwise good takes. The Fidu LP has the "unfixed" vocals in several cases.

"My Coloring Book" - The original stereo mix of this track has only the vocal on the left until the orchestra kicks in. The vocal is also presented very dry. But a 1966 remix has the rhythm guitar and percussion on the left from the start. This 1966 remix first appeared on Capitol's "More Chad & Jeremy".

"My Coloring Book" - This mix first appeared on the 1992 Repertoire "Sing For You/Second Album" CD. It isn't one of the tracks that is usually credited as being remixed for the Capitol Collector's Series CD that was cancelled in 1991, but it most certainly is different from other sources. Its placement matches the 1966 Capitol mix, but there is a good deal of echo missing from the vocal. I used to believe that this was the same mix as the 1966 one, but without the circa-1966 Capitol mix-muddying. I'm now convinced that if it is a vintage mix, it is not the same one that appeared on "More Chad & Jeremy".

“My Coloring Book” - Another alternate take from the Fidu LP. In this take, they are flat in places, but enunciate much more clearly than on the standard released version.

"What Do You Want With Me" - The original mix has the triangle way up in the mix, and has not as much percussion on the left as a 1991 remix. The remix is on stereo CDs with this track, most notably the Repertoire disc. Again, the vocal is very dry on the on the original mix, and is blended better with the backing on the new mix.

"What Do You Want With Me?" - The Capitol mix of this track, like "My Coloring Book" is deceptively close to the 1991, but it isn't it.

“What Do You Want With Me” - On this alternate take, also from the Fidu LP, they go off mike a couple of times, and deliver the lines in a much more relaxed way than on the standard take.

"From A Window" - A track made infamous by its many variations! The original stereo US "Sing For You" version has the orchestra enter in the early stages, and an acoustic guitar solo. The UK "Sing For You" mix has the orchestra in the same place, but an ELECTRIC guitar solo!

"From A Window" - The USA Capitol "Best of" LP features a mix nearly identical to the UK stereo mix, but featuring the electric rhythm guitar on the right instead of the left.

"From A Window" - A 1991 remix of this track, on stereo CDs, has the orchestra faded way down until much later, which totally changes the dynamics of the song. Oops!

“From A Window” - This Fidu alternate has no guitar solo, and subtle differences in the vocal.

"If You've Got A Heart" - On the original stereo mix, the vocal and horns are the predominant sound on the left. On the 1966 remix, the track is much more balanced. It does however (like "My Coloring Book" and "What Do You Want With Me?") feature Capitol-style vocal echo.

"If You've Got A Heart" - On the original stereo mix, the vocal and horns are the predominant sound on the left. The remix heard on CDs is different to this. As on the 1966 remix, the track is much more balanced, but this time the nasty echo is gone

"If You've Got A Heart" - The mono mix of this track has some strange goings on. The vocal track is the same, but one of Jeremy's ad libs in the fade out is mixed out. Very strange, and pointless, unless the mixer's intention was to get that track on this list!

“If You’ve Got A Heart” - Another early take from the Fidu LP. The vocal is a bit rough here, and the instrumentation is different in parts.

"No Other Baby" - The original stereo mix of this track is fairly unbalanced. But the 1991 remix on most CDs is much more balanced.

“No Other Baby” - This Fidu alternate has, like most of them, a rough vocal, and other subtle differences. Check out Jeremy’s botched ending. This ending was cleaned up for release, but a *real* careful listening to the released version has some leak into another mike, revealing the mistake!

"No Other Baby" - The sonic abomination that is "British Folk Concert" on Everest Records features several songs overdubbed with fake applause and mixed with intros from the actual "Live Folk At The Mayfair Theatre" LP. Three of the songs on the LP are also featured in alternate mixes under the garbage at the intro and closing. In this case, the organ track is on the very far right of the mix. It almost sounds like it is in the wrong song it is mixed so loud but separated.

"Donna Donna" - Capitol's 1966 mix and the mix used on CDs have slight placement differences, perhaps the most obvious being the echo on the vocal.

"Donna Donna" - The mix used on most CDs swaps the two guitars for their placement in the original stereo mix.

"Donna Donna" - The Fidu LP contains a different stereo mix of the released version of this track.

"The Girl From Ipanema" - The original stereo mix of this track has the lead acoustic guitar line and the orchestra on separate tracks. The 1966 mix has them on the same side.

"The Girl From Ipanema" - I used to believe that the stereo mix used by Repertoire and others on CD was simply the 1966 Capitol mix but mercifully without the Dexterization. The problem is (like a handful of other tracks from "Sing For You") although the placements are the same, that echo on the vocals is just that - only on the vocals. That makes it and the one issued in 1991 different. No telling whether this is a 1991 mix, or whether it was just an unused 'clean' mix from 1966, and it is not usually cited as one of the 'remixed' tracks from 1991. Nonetheless, it is the standard CD version of this track.

"The Girl From Ipanema" - An alternate stereo mix of this with different instrument placings and the triangle part mixed very low is on the Fidu LP.

"Four Strong Winds" - The Fidu LP features a different stereo mix that has different instrument placings and is much dryer than the standard mix.

"Four Strong Winds" - The guitar solo on the Capitol 1966 mix swings wildly to the right, leaving the rhythm on the left. The standard version swings a touch to the left. Note that although not a different mix, the CD versions of this track usually do a very strange noise-limiting trick at the end to hide the hiss, where the volume seems to pump in and out. The original vinyl was just so heavily compressed throughout that you didn't hear the hiss.

"Only Those In Love" - Compared to the original stereo, the 1991 remix of this one has obnoxiously loud maraca and bongoes. Its on stereo CD reissues.

"Only Those In Love" - The original mono mix includes some sloppy work in fading the orchestra in. It's best source is the Canadian Polytel Elite CD "Sing For You". With all the strange mono mixes on this one, I wonder if the engineer was even listening to what he was doing.

"Only Those In Love" - Another Capitol mix that was nearly, but not quite, parroted in 1991.

“Only Those In Love” - Another early take from the Fidu LP. Almost indistinguishable from the standard take, except for them saying “that” instead of “but” in a few places.

"You Know What" - The original stereo mix of this one is less balanced, with only the horn primarily on the left, and has a fast and active acoustic guitar line. A 1991 stereo remix has a different guitar line which is much less hyper, and the mix is more balanced, thus less flatulent.

"You Know What" - Attack of the sleeping mono mixing engineer! Again! This track is missing the overdubbed horn tracks on the mono US LP. Actually, if you listen very closely, you can hear them, they are just buried in the mix, which emphasizes the lead guitar riffs (slow, less hyper version). This one can be found on the mono LP, or, if you insist on buying a CD sourced from record albums, you can buy the original messed-up release of Collectables' "Sing For You: A Golden Classics Edition" CD, but with the caveat that this mix of the track is almost the only listenable track on the CD, as the rest are generally in horribly distorted quality, and that you might end up with the "remastered" version, which steals all its mixes from Repertoire.

"You Know What?" - This Fidu version has the fast guitar part, and a generally rougher mix, but much more balanced that the other "fast guitar" mix (the original US LP).

"You Know What" - The abortion of a record that is "British Folk Concert" includes this track in a fake 'live' mix, with applause all over it. Sadly, it also features a different mix where the acoustic guitar is left almost on its own on the far right.

"Sleep Little Boy - The two guitars are switched between original stereo mix and the 'new' one that was first released in 1992.

"Sleep Little Boy" - The Fidu LP features an alternate stereo mix of this track with different instrumental placings.

"Sleep Little Boy" - A third track with a different mix (this time the flute is on the far right) on the horrible "British Folk Concert" fake live album. At least this one is mostly spared the overdubbed fake applause.

"My How The Time Goes By" - The original stereo mix of this is not very balanced, and has several other differences from the 1966 remix which (Dexterized) is on Capitol's "Best Of".

"My How The Time Goes By" - Another mono mix with an overdub buried in the mix. This time, the organ overdub is almost inaudible until the very last seconds of the track. Only available on the good old monophonic version of "Sing For You" (USA version).

"My How The Time Goes By" - The 1991 remix balances this one out a bit. You can tell it from the Capitol mix because the lead guitar and organ are on different tracks. It's on most high-quality CDs with this song.

"My How The Time Goes By” - An extra “my” towards the end is all that betrays this as an alternate take. Again, only on the Fidu bootleg LP.

"A Very Good Year" - This WA single also was never on a WA LP. Head for Repertoire's "Sing For You/Second Album" CD, or the new Japanese reissue of the UK "Second Album"

"A Very Good Year" - The only worldwide stereo release of this track ever is on the stereo Fidu LP.

"Your Mother's Out Of Town"- This track, a World Artists outtake, was first released on the German "Sing For You/Second Album" CD in 1992. Interestingly, they sing "mama", but the track is called "Your Mother's Out Of Town" by Ember. A Columbia version would be called "Your Mama's Out Of Town" from the earliest documentation to its eventual (Y2K) release. This version is also on the El Records "A Summer Song" CD, as well as on the Japanese reissue of the UK "Second Album"

"The Nearness Of You" - This version of the song was only issued on the unauthorized "5+10=15" LP, issued on Fidu Records.

"The Nearness Of You" - This version of the song is a completely different take to that issued on the Fidu LP. It is in stereo and includes a count in and twenty seconds of studio talk. It is available on the "Sing For You/Second Album" CD, and on the Japanese reissue of the UK "Second Album".

"Sometimes" - This is the first Columbia outtake, from their first day there. It is now available of Sundazed's Before and After CD.

"Before and After" - This alternate version is included on Sundazed's Before and After CD.

"What Do You Want With Me? - This is the first Columbia version, remade the next day. It is on the Sundazed Before and After CD.

"Evil-Hearted Me" - A subtly different early take is on the Before and After reissue.

"Fare Thee Well (I Must Be Gone)" - This one is indeed odd. Done in May, it is a totally different song than that which had just been released under this name on the "Before and After" single and LP. Obviously, someone in the production process confused this track with "Marianne", explaining why the single and original "Before and After" LP list this title for "Marianne". Subsequent pressings of the LP quickly substituted the correct track title. Frankly, this track is more mature and accomplished than "Marianne". It is on Sundazed's Before and After CD.

"I Don't Wanna Lose You Baby" - This take of the song, featuring a longer introduction, was accidentally issued on the "Painted Dayglow Smile" CD in a stereo mix.

"I Don't Wanna Lose You Baby" - Sundazed found an alternate version of this track with different vocals for their 2006 "I Don't Want To Lose You Baby" reissue.

"Pennies" - This song was the b side of "I Don't Wanna Lose You Baby", and is now available on Sundazed's Before and After reissue in first time stereo.

"When Your Love Has Gone" - The original May 1965, Lor Crane produced version of this track has been released on Sundazed "Distant Shores" CD.

"Don't Get Around Much Anymore" - This one comes from the same May backing sessions, but had a session called specifically to finish the vocals, on June 23rd, 1965. This is an extraordinary over the top performance from Jeremy, and finally got a release 37 years to the month later, on Sundazed's Before and After reissue.

"The Cruel War" - By Chad and Jill Stuart, this single was issued in early 1966. A new stereo remix is on the various artists "Rock Artifacts, Volume 4" CD, and is on Sundazed's Before and After CD.

"I Can't Talk To You" - The b side to "The Cruel War" is credited as just Chad Stuart, but is actually another Chad & Jill effort. It is only available in mono, both on the single, on a various artists CD called "Have A Nice Life-More Great Breakup Songs Of The '60s", and on the new Before and After CD.

"I Love My Love" - Jeremy's solo psuedo-rockin' arrangement of this track from "Passion Flower Hotel" was the a side to his late 1965 solo single.

"Anytime" - Jeremy's solo arrangement of this track was the b side to his sole solo record, released in the UK only.

"I Love My Love" - The Passion Flower Hotel soundtrack features this in its play version, produced by John Barry. This version is very lush. It is on the import CD of Passion Flower Hotel, which is long out of print, and a hard to find rarity due to all the John Barry freaks.

"What A Question" - A hillarious duet from the Passion Flower Hotel soundtrack.

"Something Different - Jeremy's big love duet in Passion Flower Hotel is also on the soundtrack.

"Your Mama's Out Of Town" - This Columbia re-recording of a track first done in the final days of World Artists is a bonus track on Sundazed's "Distant Shores" reissue.

"You've Got Your Troubles" - This cover from the November 1965 sessions was held back until 2000, when it appeared as a bonus track on the "Distant Shores" reissue.

"Wonderful Land" - Another cover, this time of a Shadows instrumental, first released on the "Distant Shores" CD.

"Sticks & Stones" - This track made its public debut on a March 1966 episode of Hullabaloo, in which C&J did a live vocal to the backing track. The studio vocal is a bit more tame, and can be heard on the "Distant Shores" reissue CD.

"Sixpence" - Too bad mono vinyl was the currency of the music business in the 1960s, as this very intricate piece of music hall had to be held back until the "Distant Shores" reissue in 2000, probably partly because it would be hard to capture the full flavor of this performance on a mono LP.

"Love Is Strange" - Chad & Jeremy's attempt at this mainstay is very dramatically orchestrated, but very sweetly sung. It recently saw first release on the "Distant Shores" reissue CD.

"If You Need Somebody" - Another November 1965 track, first released on the "Distant Shores" CD reissue.

"Teenage Failure" - This 1966 a side was never on an original LP. A new stereo mix is on the "Painted Dayglow Smile" CD. This mix is also on the various artists "Rock Artifacts, Volume 4" CD, but includes twenty seconds of studio banter and a count in at the beginning of the track, only available on that CD. It is also now on the Sundazed "Distant Shores" CD, without the chat.

"Distant Shores" - On stereo copies of the LP, this track is in MONO. A true stereo remix is on the same CDs as "Teenage Failure".

"Last Night" - The b side to "Distant Shores" is on the "Painted Dayglow Smile" CD in a new stereo remix, and on the Sundazed "Distant Shores" reissue in stereo.

"You Are She" - The mono mix on the single features several differences, most notably the addition of handclaps, and less organ in places. This mix is not on any later vinyl release, including the mono version of the "Distant Shores" LP, which is just a reduction of the stereo LP master. It is, however, on the various artists CD "Whole Lotta Lava- Make-Out Music From The Psychedelic Era", released in 1993.

"Ain't It Nice" - The version of this track on the "Distant Shores" reissue CD is unedited, featuring a complete verse excised from the released mix. It also features a noticable bass flub by the usually reliable James William Guercio.

"Anytime" - This track was initially unissued, but it was released on CD in 1992 on "Painted Dayglow Smile" in a new stereo remix.

"Distant Shores (French Language Version)" - This track is now available for all to hear on Sundazed's reissue of "Distant Shores".

"You Are She (French Language Version)" - Another bonus track on the "Distant Shores" CD.

"Adesso Si" - An Italian language track, recorded for the San Remo pop festival in early 1966. This track was released on CBS (Italy) 2163. It is available (in a new stereo mix) on the Sundazed CD of Before and After.

"Nessuno Pui Di Me" - The b side to "Adesso Si", a single which featured a quite attractive color picture sleeve. It is available (in a new stereo mix) on the Sundazed CD of Before and After.

"Manners Maketh Man" - An long unheard outtake for the "Of Cabbages and Kings" LP, started on September 12, 1966. You can actually catch a part of this under the dialogue in C&J's very first scene in their Batman appearance. You can catch the whole thing on Sundazed's Of Cabbages and Kings CD.

"The Gentle Cold of Dawn" - This instrumental version is a bonus track on Sundazed's reissue of Cabbages.

"Cautionary Tale" - A wonderful Cabbages era version of The Ark's "Imagination", this track is on Sundazed's Of Cabbages and Kings CD.

"Rest In Peace" - This single edit was first available on the b side of "Sister Marie". Now everybody can hear it on Sundazed's Of Cabbages and Kings CD reissue.

"The Family Way" - This alternate version with the rhythm guitar turned up quite high and without any baby sound effects at all, was released as a "mono single version" in 2006 on the Japanese mini-LP reissue of "Of Cabbages And Kings". If there ever were thoughts of making this one a single (something which is has been long-rumoured, as the track was even supposedly assigned a catalogue number), I'm assured they were Gary Usher's doing and not C or J's.

"Of Cabbages And Kings Radio Ad" - This roughly one minute radio ad for C&J's 1967 LP is an unlisted bonus track on the "Painted Dayglow Smile" CD. It is on the same track as "Sister Marie", after about a ten second silence. I have no idea whether Columbia ever made any radio ads for the previous LPs, but it is unlikely that they would have for "The Ark", as stories of Columbia's non-promotion of that LP are now almost legendary.

"Painted Dayglow Smile" - The mono 45 version of this song fades the tone that separates the first section of the song from the last. The last section of the song is faded up, and abridged (missing its final accapella section). This mono mix is on the "Painted Dayglow Smile" CD, and Sundazed's "Of Cabbages and Kings".

"Transatlantic Trauma, 1966" - A pre-overdubs version of this track was released on Sundazed's 2006 "The Ark" reissue, where for reasons not quite fathomed it was retitled to its original title of "Letter To A London Girl".

"Pipe Dream" - Sundazed released the backing track to this song on their 2006 "The Ark" CD reissue.

"Paxton Quigley's Had The Course" - The single version of the song fades the last few seconds of the song early, in order to eliminate the abrupt edit to "You Need Feet" that is on the LP. This edit is on the "Painted Dayglow Smile" CD, created from the stereo LP mix of the track. The original mono mix only on the Japanese 2006 "mini LP" CD reissue, although a stereo edit (just like the one on "Painted Dayglow Smile") is on the "Three In The Attic" soundtrack.

"You Need Feet (You Need Hands)" - Another fade, this time a fade in to disguise the same abrupt edit on the LP. This is on the Japanese 2006 "The Ark" reissue, but it is not a big deal really. This isn't a unique mono mix either, just a reduction of the stereo.

Sister Marie - The backing track, arranged by Chad for C&J's recording, is on a Sagittarius (one of Gary Usher's fake groups) CD, with the strange claim that it is their unfinished backing track. The CD is the Sundazed reissue of "Present Tense". This is definitely a C&J recording, not a Sagittarius one, nor was this recording ever planned for Sagittarius, as by the time the song was cut, it was cut by C&J. Chad vividly remembers writing this arrangement, and being in the studio when it was recorded. Explain how this slipped by the usually reliable Sundazed crew and I'll give you a cookie.

"Sister Marie" - The originally issued single take of this song finally got a reissue on Sundazed's Of Cabbages and Kings CD.

"Sister Marie" - This alternate take, originally slated for release on the 45, is included on the "Painted Dayglow Smile" CD, in an original 1968 mono mix.

"Good Morning Sunrise" - A track from the 1969 soundtrack to the film "Three In The Attic", released on Sidewalk Records. The LP credits Chad and Jeremy on the cover, but really, these four tracks are much more Chad solo than Chad and Jeremy.

"Tobey's Song" - Another track from "Three In The Attic", which made its way onto Sundazed's reissue of "The Ark" in 2006.

"Paxton's Song (Smoke)" - Again, from the "Three In The Attic" soundtrack. A personal favorite of yours truly.

"Know Yourself" - Another C&J song from "Three In The Attic".

"Background Music" - As accurate of a title as there is. This one features 13 minutes of "Three In The Attic" movie music, composed by Chad Stuart, and taking up the whole of the second side of the LP!

Good Morning Sunrise - The mono 45 mix of this is not just a collapsed stereo version, but seems to have greater bass response, and a louder triangle part.

Smoke - Again, the mono single mix has some subtle variations.

"Yesterday's Gone" - Nine years later, Chad again masquerades as "Chad & Jeremy". This version was recorded in July 1977 for an LP called "British Airwaves", which brought many groups of the 1960s (or at least their lead singers) into the studio to record high fidelity, audiophile versions of their hits. Chad handles this version of his first hit composition quite well, but it does sound odd to not hear Jeremy on this.

"A Summer Song" - Another hit, another July 1977 "British Airwaves" remake. On this one, Chad is simply stunning,a dnto be honest, one doesn't miss Jeremy, even after repeated listenings! These two tracks, recorded by Audio Encores, were not released until 1981, by which point an alternate mix of "A Summer Song" (see below) had already turned up on on LP by Pickwick. This one did turn up on a Canadian 8CD various artists box, called 1960s Rock n Roll Collection (wonder how many marketing meetings it took to come up with that one!), but they took a mono version of the mix, and threw a ton of echo on it, then made possibly the worse fake stereo mix I've ever heard out of it. So go for the LP, and save $40 and the headache you'll get from listening to the horrid mix!

"A Summer Song" - A different version of the July 1977 remake, in rechanneled mono, with a bit less going on in it, was released in 1980 on "Tender Moments", a Pickwick compilation. This was recorded in Minneapolis at K-TEL's studios by Chad alone circa 1979. Contrary to my previous mistake, neither of these mixes are of the Terry Melcher-Bruce Johnston version (which I believe was done 1975ish, and Chad thinks was 1977), which recently turned up on one of Chad's many unlabeled cassette tapes.

"Seascape" (1978 demo) - This demo, recorded as part of an album's worth of C&J demos in the fall of 1978, was released as a bonus track on the Electric Paintbox CD reissue of "Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde".

"Can't Come Back" - Chad Stuart does rock star on this demo recorded at Guy Fletcher's studio prior to the recording for "Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde", and immediately prior to Chad's horrible eye accident. It was intended for a tv project that never got off the ground. The only suriving copy of this song comes from Chad's infamous 'shed tapes', and suffers from some heavy tape damage and dropouts in places, particularly during the instrumental middle eight. It is available for download in it's entirety at The Official C&J site as a bonus-bonus track for the 1983 reissue CD.

"Can't Come Back" (2004 remix edit) - For the Rocshire CD reissue, we felt this track was too good to leave off, but we worried about the tape damage. Chad solved the problem by creating a new edit with the damage removed. Ever the fiddler and perfectionist, he also added some circa June 2004 handclaps to liven up the song. The results are quite impressive, and I song I really liked has become a favourite.

"Zanzibar Sunset" (Jeremy 1982 solo demo) - This bonus track on the Rocshire CD is Jeremy's working demo for the song prior to going in to the studio. It is amazing, and the slide guitar work is brilliant. Between that and the lyric changes, this is probably my absolute favorite 1980s recording by either of them. It's brilliant in the studio, but it was damn near perfection before it got there. This track is from the 'shed tapes', and does suffer from a little tape warble during the initial slide intro.

"Prison Without Bars" - Jeremy demoed this highly humorous song around the same time as the "Zanzibar Sunset" demo above. Perhaps a little too silly or 'actory' for the LP, it was never recorded again. It is on the CD reissue of "Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde".

"Night In Fat City" (Jeremy 1982 solo demo) - Another pre-Rocshire demo on the reissue CD. It is a much harder song here in it's initial state - still known as "Looking For A Buffalo Gal" - before Gary Davis got his hands on it and decided Buffalo wasn't glamourous enough of a place. Or something.

"B Movie" (Jeremy 1982 solo demo) - This upbeat and bouncy demo is one of a number of existing demos of this track. It comes from the same demo session as the above three tracks, and was released as a bonus track on the same reissue CD.

"Interview" - This was the b side to the promotional single for "Bite The Bullet", and features an interview with Jeremy, conducted by Rocshire "executive producer" Gary Davis. This track is available as a download at The Official C&J site as a bonus-bonus track for the 1983 reissue CD.

"Radio Spot Outtake" - This track is all that survives of an attempt to record a radio spot for the "Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde" LP. It is available for download at The Official C&J site as a bonus-bonus track for the 1983 reissue CD.

"Follow That Car" - This demo is probably from 1984, and probably features both C&J. Chad, however, thinks it comes from 1982, and doesn't feature him. I've slotted it in 1984, and you can chose when you hear it on the new Electric Paintbox reissue of "Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde".

"A Summer Song" (1984 remake) - While working on promotion for the 1983 LP, the duo did a ton of TV shows, and while they could easily mime say "Bite The Bullet", it would have been outright silly to mime to a 20 year old recording of one of their hits. So they duly went into Soundstage Recorders in Farnham, Surrey, UK in early 1984, and laid down a mono acoustic version of "A Summer Song" for TV use. It's a beautiful version, and can be heard as one of two bonus tracks on Electric Paintbox Records release of "Chad & Jeremy In Concert".

"Just Testing" - This Chad demo appears on the Rocshire reissue CD. It comes from circa 1985 or 1986, and we're unsure of the vintage of it. I lean more towards 1985, because it sounds a lot like other Chad material of that year.

"Yesterday's Gone" (live 1987) - A nice jaunty rearrangement of this track was included in their set at Harrahs in February and March of 1987, and is on the release of the final Harrah's concert, "Chad & Jeremy In Concert".

"Distant Shores" (live 1987) - Another live version from Eelctric Paintbox'es live CD "Chad & Jeremy In Concert".

"Rest In Peace" (live 1987) - Strange to hear this one live, but here tis, electric sitar and all. Again, from the live CD.

"Willow Weep For Me" (live 1987) - A radical reworking of this number was a showstopper both here and in the 1986 British Invasion II Tour. Another on "Chad & Jeremy In Concert".

"This House Is Haunted" (live 1987) - A Stuart original, and definitely a classic. ITs amazing how well Chad could write for the 1980s genre. If this had been released as a single (and professionally studio recorded, of course), it could have made a lot of noise circa 1986/7. Another live track from the Harrahs CD.

"Homeward Bound" (live 1987) - Another version from "Chad & Jeremy In Concert".

"Farewell Dr. Livingstone" (live 1987) - An epic from the pen of Chad. This one suffered from being edited on the live CD, because the recording tape was turned over during the middle of the song. It resulted in the loss of two vocal lines, which made the structure of that verse not flow, hence the version released on the live CD is technically missing a verse.

"If I Fell" (live 1987) - C&J tackle a Lennon-McCartney track at Harrah's. Yes, it's on the live CD.

"If I Loved You" (live 1987) - The live CD features an a capella performance of this one, with C&J assisted by their band, "4 Guys On Stage".

"Summertime (Ain't It Fun)" (live 1987) - For some inexplicable reason, Chad calls this one "Summer TIme - Ain't It Fun". I think that's a horrible looking title, so it's my website and I'll write the title how I want to! A Jeremy surfing "original" from the "Chad & Jeremy In Concert" CD.

"All The Harvests" (live 1987) - Another song from Chad, and another good one. Again, on the live CD.

"Generation Rumble" (live 1987) - This Dave Edmunds number was used as a showstopper on the British Invasion II Tour in 1986, so of course it was held over for the 1987 Harrahs shows. It's on the CD, naturally.

"Don't Look Back" (live 1987) - Another otherwise unreleased Jeremy original, another track on the "Chad & Jeremy In Concert" CD.

"A Summer Song" (live 1987) - The biggest advantage of finding a 'new' Harrah's tape at the last minute (and thus delaying the release by about four months) was the ability to include the clsoing number, a very fun take on "A Summer Song".

"Here Comes The Hurt Again" - A Chad solo track from "Uncle Bob's Hollywood Dream Show", another project that didn't get far beyond this demo. It comes from around 1988, just before Chad 'escaped' LA, and is found on the reissue of "Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde".

"B Movie" (1989-91? Jeremy demo) - This slow, dirge-like demo is on the Rocshire reissue CD. It may come from as early as 1989, which is when they swear it must be from, but due to some of the surrounding material on the tape, and other comments they have made, I think it's closer to 1991.

"Yesterday's Gone" (2002 remake) - As a special bonus, this was included on the "Chad & Jeremy In Concert" CD. It was recorded in April (Jeremy) and June (Chad) 2002, on opposite sides of the world. Jeremy laid down his vocal to Chad's rough backing, then Chad put on a vocal, and sweetened the backing. It took a lot of time, but hopefully it's just the first of a series of transatlantic reunion tracks. Fingers crossed, anyway!

"Editorial" (2003 rehearsal) - This track has not yet appeared on any released media, but is available online at the Official Chad and Jeremy Website. It comes from the mid-June 2003 rehearsals in Provence, France for the 2003/4 Chad & Jeremy live shows. They sound great, though sometimes a little shaky on the lyrics. Not bad for only being reunited for about twenty minutes! The link to the special page it is on is right here. Please download and enjoy. Just don't try to sell it or anything! :)

"Yesterday's Gone" (2003 live version) - This live version of their first single was their very first public performance since 1987, as a part of the 'Pop Rock Reunion' show. It was released as a PBS pledge CD on Time-Life.

"A Summer Song" (2003 live version) - Another live version from the 'Pop Rock Reunion' show. It was released as a PBS pledge CD on Time-Life Records in early 2004.

"Distant Shores" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - As part of their 2004 tour effort, the duo sold an exclusive CDR at the show. The CDR includes acoustic studio recordings of their whole 2004 set. It is only available at the live shows.

"Lady Wants A Gentleman" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - The debut of a song intended for the new studio album due later in 2004 or early 2005. This is a brilliant Jeremy composition.

"Rest In Peace" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - Another Acoustic Set disc track.

"I'll Be Back" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - Another acoustic track.

"Before And After" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - The first time the duo has returned to this song, this acoustic rearrangement is quite gorgeous.

"Made For Each Other" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - This could be Jeremy's greatest writing triumph. It will be featured as a fully produced track later, but the Acoustic Set CD has a special preview of it in a very sparse and beautiful version.

"Willow Weep For Me" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - Another acoustic track.

"A Summer Song" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - The only standby of course gets a go on their recent tour, and hence was recorded and releaed on the Acoustic Set CD.

"What's The Score" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - If this was 1965, this would be the single track. It will appear in a fully produced version on their future album, but this one is just as enjoyable.

"Yesterday's Gone" (Acoustic Set version, 2004) - Here's another old standby from the set, in an arrangement similar to their 2002 transatlantic remake.

"We Three Kings" - Chad & Jeremy's website Christmas gift to their fans. Still available online. <

"If I Loved You" (Acoustic Set version, 2005) - How they didn't do this one for 2004, I don't know. But better late than never!

"Before And After" (Acoustic Set version, 2005) - A remix of last year's version, with an alternate guitar performance particularly noticeable on the intro. The idea was to make every repeat track an alternate mix, unfortunately this didn't always happen!

"Homeward Bound" (Acoustic Set version, 2005) - Brand new for 2005.

"September In The Rain" (Acoustic Set version, 2005) - Brand new for 2005, it was also featured on the website for a time.

"Lady Wants A Gentleman" (Acoustic Set version, 2005) - An alternate from the 2004 version with a 20 second longer fade.

"You Need Feet" (Acoustic Set version, 2005) - Brand new for 2005, this track also featured on the official website for a few months.

"Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring" - Another year, another Christmas present to the fans, this time a Chad solo instrumental offering. This one is still available online.

"Zanzibar Sunset" (tour CD version, 2006) - This favourite makes its 'New Era' debut after many requests.

"Everyone's Gone To The Moon" (tour CD version, 2006) - The first time this one has been recorded since 1966.

"What Do You Want With Me?" (tour CD version, 2006) - Brand new for 2006.

"Homeward Bound" (tour CD version, 2006) - A new version of this track with a drastically different piano part.

"Rien Ne Va Plus" (tour CD version, 2006) - Why oh why? I still maintain that, in spite of this getting a bit of an early debut it should be the title track of the new LP. Effing brill, as the kids might say.

"When And If I Can" (tour CD version, 2006) - A first outing for this track since 1967. Lovely.

"All The Harvests" (tour CD version, 2006) - Chad does one from the forthcoming LP.

"Doghouse Blues" (tour CD version, 2006) - A fun Chad number, never recorded before.

"Hey Baby" (tour CD version, 2006) - Brand new for 2006, and a song C&J have never recorded before.

"The Way You Look Tonight" (tour CD version, 2006) - Brand new for 2006.

"Before And After" (tour CD version, 2006) - A completely new mix, featuring some interesting percussion action.

"I'll Be Back" (tour CD version, 2006) - A remix of the track first released on the 2004 CD.

"A Summer Song" (tour CD version, 2006) - A radical change for this one sees a string quartet added. Quite lovely.

"Yesterday's Gone" (tour CD version, 2006) - A fairly drastic remix on this one, using the older vocal track and almost completely rebuilt backing.

"Habang Baby" - This is the unlikely title of "A Summer Song" in Philipino, included on the 2006 Philipines-only release "Acoustic Tapestry Greatest Hits".

"Medley of Carols" - Chad sent his Christmas wishes to everyone via this website exclusive in December of 2006. It is still up there if you know how to find it!

"Rest In Peace" (tour CD version, 2007) - A new version of this track.

"When Your Love Has Gone" (tour CD version, 2007) - This track is available on the "Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde 2007" disc.

"I'm In Love Again" (tour CD version, 2007) - Another new track from the 2007 tour disc.

"September In The Rain" (tour CD version, 2007) - Goodbye 2005's whistles, hello 2007 and a proper harmonica overdub!

"Purple Haze" (tour CD version, 2007) - An instrumental rendition of this is featured on the 2007 tour disc.
