In the months before Jan Berry's accident, the duo formed their own
label (J&D Records, to be distributed by Columbia Records). To meet
their contractual obligations, Torrence recorded the concept album
"Save For A Rainy Day" (featuring all rain-themed songs) while Berry
recovered in the hospital, imitating Berry's voice the best he could,
and posing with Berry's brother Ken for the (longshot) cover photos.
Two singles were issued on the J&D label, but as months went by and Jan
wasn't able to return to recording, Columbia quietly let the
distribution deal go. The second single, "Like A Summer Rain", was
re-recorded by both Jan and Dean later at
Mike Love's request, while the
album was released by Sundazed Records in the late 1990s, to critical
acclaim.
