3.0 out of 5 stars
A little bit of music industry trivia,
This review is from: Wind in the Willows (Audio CD)
I was pleasantly surprised to find this album. It was released on the Capitol label in the summer of 1968. I worked as a sales rep for Capitol at the time. I recall attending a national sales convention in Los Angeles where this group and several others performed live to showcase their talent & material. Capitol put a huge push on promoting this group, numerous point of sale displays, promo giveaways, etc, a hard push. More so for this group than the others who performed at the convention. We "worked" this album very hard for 3-4 months, nothing happened, little airplay and even fewer sales. I ended up discarding 10-20 large boxes of point of sale displays retailers didn't want. Just another unsuccessful rock/folk group of the era. But we sure tried to make them stars.
At the same convention there was another new album being released by another unknown group. It received no hype from Capitol, no displays, no real push. It just got released. I'm not even sure Capitol knew what they had in this group. But it got airplay and then began to sell, slowly at first then it really took off. It was certified Gold (sold 500,000 copies) in probably less than 6 months after release, an article about the group in Time magazine certainly helped. The album was titled "Music from Big Pink", the group...The Band. Good music beats record company hype every time.

Great CD - I also have the vinyl record - this brings back memories of the sixties. But the music is timeless, classic.

A perfect addition to my Debbie Harry collection. I have the original, rare vinyl record, yet the CD is better.
