It’s time to set the record straight about one of our upcoming releases that we’ve received a lot of questions about - the Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham Sound City Sessions. We licensed their unreleased recordings from Carman Productions, Inc. about a year ago, and it seemed that all the paperwork was in order to give us the go-ahead to release it. Unfortunately, it appears that this was not the case, and that this CD will not see the light of day. Maybe someday we’ll see…

We’ll be releasing Rick Springfield’s early recordings from Sound City very soon, and these tracks are so cool! They have his original musicians, and a track or two that have never been released before.

We are also involved in some new projects with John McFee (Doobie Brothers, Clover.) After John finishes up this year’s Doobies tour, as well as producing Carlene Carter’s new album (not an SPM release, but it will be amazing!) he’ll be producing a couple of upcoming SPM releases…

First off - Jackdaw is the melodic hard rock project he fronted in the early 90s, featuring John McFee on lead guitar/vocals, Stu Cook (Credence Clearwater Revival) on bass and the late, great Keith Knudsen (Doobie Brothers) on drums. John and Stu will be heading into the studio to remix this never-released classic, featuring a diverse mix of well-crafted tunes and some truly incredible musicianship!

John will also be producing Takako, SPM’s first Japanese artist - this should be something to watch!

We’ve made a deal with Sony Music Japan to license them The Millennium’s Pieces album for distribution and sale in Japan and Asia. The Millennium is a cult favorite of the Japanese since the 1970s. This will also put this SPM product in the Sony/Columbia roster to be distributed further worldwide.

The Book: Sheila Ryan Caan has finished the first complete draft of her book on her life with Elvis Presley, titled Fame On Me, and it is beautiful. We are now beginning the process of sorting out her publishing deal and getting the book released. We have also had several meetings relating to a movie for television, if not a major film release.

We are in the process of putting new marketing and distribution deals together, so we will have broader reach in the marketplace. We also have been upgrading our catalog as well as setting up our infrastructure to accommodate more upcoming releases.

Stay tuned!
