Distant Shores is the fifth studio album by the English duo Chad & Jeremy. It was released on 15 August 1966.[1] Distant Shores was recorded between November 1965 and March 1966. This is the first album in which the duo were given time to craft their sound and style.[2] This album is a precursor to their psychedelic album, Of Cabbages and Kings. It includes the first recording of Paul Simon's "Homeward Bound", predating even Simon & Garfunkel's record.[3][4]

Recording

"Distant Shores was a milestone in Chad & Jeremy history because the title track (and two others) were recorded on the West Coast. This was an important development because we were finally able to track our recordings (build them layer by layer) and work with a producer with whom we had a strong rapport, namely Larry Markes, a fellow song writer and creative spirit," Chad Stuart recalls.[5]
