This is hot stuff. Rick Springfield, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, J.P.Morgan. Les Emerson “Five Man Elec. Band.”

We have been working our fingers to the bone acquiring the best “unreleased” music that was missed and left behind in the ‘60s ‘70s and ‘80s, with an occasional new project added here and there.

Now then, enough chatter, and on with the Platter.

SonicPastMusic.com and Sound City Entertainment have been partners in one way or another for over thirty years; and with the amazing demos that Tom Skeeter and Jonas Gottfried invested in over the years as Carman Productions one might wonder what became of all the recordings? Well, after years of digging, listening and looking, SonicPast and Sound City have joined together to bring you more of this great music.

We will be releasing Rick Springfield’s early Sound City recording with Rick’s band before the Keith Olsen studio musicians were brought in. Many of these cuts appear on later releases but none are as authentic as these. You’re just not a fan without these beginning treasures.

We have previously unreleased materials from Les Emerson of the SIGN’S “Five Man Electrical Band”…

And here you go…early Sound City sessions of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks produced by Keith Olsen. Only two of these songs ever made it to release. A little Sound City trivia…when Mick Fleetwood and Christine McVie came to check out the studio they liked it AND Buckingham and Nicks as well. Lindsey and Stevie then approached Tom and Jonas to ask for a release so they could join Fleetwood Mac for a $250.00 a week salary! Well, that was many millions ago…both records and dollars.

And…here we go again, we have a first-time U.S. release from J.P. Morgan singing her heart out, backed by every noted player of the seventies, produced by David Foster with Bill Champlin and a host of greats.

We look forward to your continual visits to our site and finding some great music for your listening pleasure.

Keep in mind that this is ALL GOOD GREAT STUFF!
