Hello folks,
Its been awhile. I agree with everyone here, we all would love to hear this material from this time period. all shined up and sounding pretty. Hate 2 be the party pooper but in all honesty it will probably never happen. The base is gone for Jan & Dean music. I just turned 50. The base is dying everyday. History got skewered with Brian Wilson getting all the credit of writing the boys material. And dean like Mike Love tried so hard over the years to make himself more important than he actually was it really knocked Jan down for getting the respect he deserved. THE dean REMAKES really fucked Jan over in my opinion. Most of them SUCK. I know dean is a great guy and he was there for all of the ups and downs. Took care of Jan through faze 2. THERE IS NO WAY ANY RECORD COMPANY WOULD MAKE MONEY OFF THIS PROJECT. I'm not trying to be a dick, Lou Adler and Dean don't care about Jan's legacy any longer. It was good while it lasted. the only way we might get some interest in the dynamic duo again is if a mainstream movie during the intro or sometime during the movie played the first few bars of LITTLE OLD LADY FROM PASADENA.. why because Brian has nothing to do with that record. Had it not fought the other Jan & Dean singles on the chart at the time it could've been another number 1 and should've been. Or if one of us hits the powerball and buys up the masters for release. Were talking maybe 5 to 15k fans world wide now if were lucky. Anyway fellows good post. Just my 2 cents. not worth a penny. lets be real. god bless.
