Underrated pop groups of the 60s: Chad and Jeremy

Often dismissed as a Peter and Gordon knock-off (which they were), the duo of Chad Stuart and Jermy Clyde recorded a number of nice singles and a few very worth-having albums.

Plus, they appeared on "Batman" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" as, essentially, near-Beatles-type figures.

You've probably heard the big songs from 1964 : "A Summer Song" which hit #7 and Yesterday's Gone," which hit #21. "Willow Weep for Me," which hit #15 in 1965 also gets some oldies airplay.

Anyone who enjoys those--and gentler, folkish British Invasion sounds--will likely enjoy the duo's Before and After album. And you can even hear them getting a little psychedelic and far out--complete with sitar solos--on their 1967 LP Of Cabbages and Kings. The follow up to that was the pair's "concept album" The Ark.

The great Sundazed label has released those LPS and a few others in nicely remastered and expanded editions.

Exclusive Green Lantern figure in New Frontier DVD

Best Buy is offering this exclusive Green Lantern figure with copies of the Justice League: New Frontier straight-to-DVD out now.

But, the thing is, it's not a very attractive figure at all, is it? Artist Darwyn Cooke's take on GL is cool. But this thing looks odd. What's up with his face? This is not good at all.
