Let’s start with a big Happy New Year 2007 to you and of course all the big news bits jumping off here at Sonic Past Music. Alright now so have a seat, cuz this stuff should knock you off your feet. First we’d like to bring you up to date on the Sheila Ryan Caan book. We have compiled most of the chapters and Sheila is now beginning to work with her editors on the structure and fine tuning of the book. We will soon announce her publisher as well as a release date to look forward to… Not to mention two additional books soon to be announced regarding her days with Sly Stallone… Yes and Warren Beatty as well as another. We cannot discuss that one YET!

Now to the Music portion of What’s New. There is so much to tell. The J.P. Morgan album has just been re-mastered and the artwork is done. Soon a release date will be announced. This CD is unreal and has never been releaseed in the U.S. It has a cast of musicians put together by Bill Champlin and David Foster in 1976. Everyone in the music world in those days is on this CD; David Foster, Bill Chaplin, David Hungate, Tom Scott, Mike Beared, Keith Olsen, on and on. This is a good one. J.P. Morgan sings great with a bit of R&B influencemelting over the seventies rock theme. This record should have gone gold but never made it out there.

Rick Springfield, yes a name that was on the lips of every girl from here to London will have a CD coming out with Rick and his original recording and performing band from the early seventies before the hits started for Rick. This is his album that later was re-recorded with new studio musicians by Joey Verra. These are the original tracks only from SPM. Songs like Bruce, Cold Feet and a big bonus track “Still Got Music.” Stay tuned for the release date… soon to come.

Les Emerson, now there’s a name from the 70’s. “The Five Man Electrical Band” had a hit’ “SIGNS.” A great novelty song and good music as well. Les recorded quite a few songs for Sound City / Carman Productions in L.A. that never were released because of one thing or another. In any casewe are happy to bring you approximately 16 additional Les Emerson tunes. That’s when music was music! We are happy to announce the forthcoming release will be in March 2007.

Now, rumor has it, that there is an unmentionable CD that may just be coming up soon. We are putting the deal together now and we’ll let you know just as soon as we can… HINT!
S&L………………….. SEE YA!
