Distant Shores is the fifth studio album by the English duo Chad & Jeremy. It was released on 15 August 1966. 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. 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.
The title track was composed by the duo's young bassist, James William Guercio, who went on to his own significant career in the music industry. "Distant Shores" was released as a single in the U.S. and rose to No. 30 in the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1966. A second single, "You Are She", topped out at No. 87.
