Episode #40: A&M Day
Originally aired March 31, 2008 – “Come To The Sunshine” episode #40 explores the world of A&M records in the 1960’s. Founded by Herb Alpert & Jerry Moss, A&M was a stomping ground for a coterie of creative producers, arrangers, songwriters and performers.
A&M nurtured so many fine talents that it would be impossible to capture them all in one show. This edition of “Come To The Sunshine” was culled from a survey of more than 300 of A&M’s single releases to present you with a banner show of 50 fine specimens. Each and every single was painstakingly transferred from the original MONO vinyl pressings in order of actual release to illustrate the full impact and arc of the
La Brea sound.
Come with us on a journey from single #770 to #1118 featuring singles by:
We Five/Two People/The Sugar Beats/The Grads/The Magic Mushrooms/Tommy Boyce/Roger Nichols Trio/The Merry-Go-Round/The Parade/Claudine Longet/The Garden Club/The Wanted/Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart/Eternity’s Children/The Golden Bough/West Coast Branch/The Light/A Small Circle Of Friends/The Full Treatment/Phil Ochs/The Move/Tommy & The True Blue Facts/Fairchilds/Michael Brewer & Tom Shipley/Lee Michaels/Larry Marks/The Bottom Line/Doug Dillard & Gene Clark/London Phogg/The Ronettes Featuring the voice of Veronica/The Flying Burrito Bros/Ike & Tina Turner
