Summary: The Very Very Best of Chad and Jeremy
Comment: This CD truly has the best of all the things ever done by C&J. Most importantly to me, it contains the unheard-of "Teenage Failure". I have been looking for the name of the song and the artist for about 42 years now, but have not heard the song once in all that time, since it was charted on AM radio. (yeah, I'm old!) Aside from that personal favorite, this is a compilation of the smooth, even, broad range of the duo, without a bad selection to be found. Amazing that two young guys could decide to get into the music game, put aside their studies, truly make the big time, enjoy success, then just as easily put it all behind them and proceed with their original career goals; Chad in acting and directing in Great Britain, and Jeremy in writing and producing in the Pacific Northwest. INHO, they both had the talent to continue in music should they have decided to do so, and might still be appearing from time to time in Reno or Las Vegas, to the delight of all those who remember the first days of the British Invasion. This CD is a must buy.

Summary: terrific songs by Chad & Jeremy
Comment: The Very Best of Chad & Jeremy is a great CD with eighteen solid numbers by this British duo; and the sound quality is excellent. I really enjoyed listening to this album and the artwork is very nicely done.
The CD starts with "A Summer Song;" this tune remains one of their best. Chad & Jeremy harmonize to perfection; and the musical arrangement works well with drums, strings and more. Chad & Jeremy also have excellent diction and this enhances their ability to perform. "A Summer Song" is a beautiful number that is sure to put a smile on your face. "From A Window" also has Chad & Jeremy harmonizing well; they sound so good together. The unusual melody works much better than I thought it would--as a whole this song is rather good.
"Yesterday's Gone" rocks gently and this ballad has a Paul McCartney type of flavor to it; they sing well and the catchy melody is upbeat as the drums carry it well. "September In The Rain" features Chad & Jeremy doing a stunning cover of this classic ballad; and they never miss a beat! Their interpretation is elegant and the strings do a lot for the musical arrangement. "If I Loved You" also features Chad & Jeremy vocalizing passionately.
"Willow Weep For Me" is a beautiful ballad that stuns me with its beauty; Chad & Jeremy do this up right! "Now And Forever" rocks harder and our fine duo sings this out well. The electric guitars dominate the arrangement and the percussion works nicely, too.
"I Don't Wanna Lose You Baby" has a good beat to it that has that rock ballad flavor; and the album ends with "Teenage Failure." "Teenage Failure" may not have been their biggest hit but I think it's rather good anyway. The chorus is good and they harmonize as well as they ever did.
The liner notes come in the form of an eight page booklet about the career and the songs of Chad & Jeremy. Great!
Overall, this fine CD is an excellent retrospective of Chad & Jeremy's artistry. The album includes "Distant Shores;" "I Don't Want To Lose You Baby" as well as "Before and After." The sound is great and people just getting to know Chad & Jeremy will be thrilled with this CD.
