So much going on, and of course, in related

Welcome to the Jan & Dean forum
In an attempt to raise more attention to Jan & Dean we'd like to invite you and anyone you know to post here regarding Jan & Dean. Make sure you get all those Beach Boys fans here too, so we can discuss the titanic-two-some. :) Mark
A huge thank you to Ken Mackowiak and for the two photos on the left which were taken May 2008, and to the other emailer who sent that wierd and wonderful 70's photo of Dean having a kiss, and those two fantastic porcolein characters! Without you lot, this site would have closed down many years ago.
And, a HUGE thank you to Bruce Lennox for his photo on the left with Jan. Expect some more photos from this period and some Jan & Dean audio from interviews performed by Bruce!!! 2008 is an exciting time for us all!!!
Mark - June 22nd 2008 - PS... Look out for the secret photo page now up and running!!! (hint: updates shows the way)
For a limited time only until we get the review of this album up, we will be displaying these Liner Notes from "The Complete Liberty Singles". As you can see, we are listed second on the notes as an invaluable site in the making of that fine album.
Ok, to some of you it may not seem like much, however it after many years of hard work it is recognition of the hard work that has been put into this site. Any form of advertising for all the Jan & Dean sites is welcome by us, and by the other two sites mentioned no doubt.
It's great to see that 2008 should hopefully be a good year for Jan & Dean music, at last there's a compilation out there that really does the duo some great justice for once!
Don't forget to spread the word, Jan & Dean need every little bit of help they can get to keep thier work alive and kicking, and we're glad that you have helped us to be at the fore-front of that task.
