  • Endorsement From Kip Cohen, President, Herb Alpert Foundation
    Former Vice President, A&M Records:     To say that I was overwhelmed by From Brass to Gold is to put it mildly. What an amazing undertaking! Be assured that those of us who were at A&M value your work greatly, have had frequent use for the information, and are genuinely appreciative of the time and effort you put into it.
Description: Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss founded A&M Records in 1962 with $200. In 1989, they sold the world's largest independent record label for nearly $500 million. From Brass to Gold is the rise of A&M from its start with the Tijuana Brass to a golden success. A&M and its 14 affiliated labels signed over 800 artists in every musical genre including the Carpenters, Quincy Jones, Styx, Supertramp, Burt Bacharach, Joe Cocker, Bryan Adams, Janet Jackson, George Winston, The Go-Go's, Carole King, Amy Grant, the Neville Brothers, and The Police. A&M's affiliates were George Harrison's Dark Horse Records, Windham Hill, Ode Records, IRS Records, Cypress Records, Delos, Denon, Gold Mountain Records, Nimbus Records, Perspective, Tabu, Vendetta Records, and Word Records. From Brass to Gold Vol. II assembles A&M and affiliate discographies from 35 countries with major discographies for Great Britain, Canada, Germany and Japan. Artist and title indexes are provided for each country. This is the only international discography of A&M or it affiliates. Designed for record collectors, music lovers, music historians, and popular culture scholars and enthusiasts, and music retailers in discography format, it invites readers to research A&M, an affiliate, a record series or an individual artist.
