FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Eagles’ Co-Founder, RANDY MEISNER
Finds Recording Home at Sonic Past Music
Label Releases 5 Meisner CD Projects

Los Angeles CA, December 7, 2007—In 1972, Randy Meisner and three of his musician friends, signed with Asylum Records and called themselves, The Eagles. Ten albums later, and with the accolade of being part of “The Best Selling U.S. Band of all-time,” Meisner decamped, and Sonic Past Music is privileged to have five of his CDs distributed on their label. Randy Meisner was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with The Eagles in 1999. Go to http://randymeisner.sonicpastmusic.com for more information on the following releases.

LIVE IN DALLAS was recorded in 1978 and features Meisner at the peak of his performing career. The CD includes his solo version of many of the Eagles favorites that he wrote as well as newer Meisner solos.

LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME ALONE is a compendium of Randy’s unreleased favorites…some having been recorded by The Eagles and others that have never been heard before.

MEISNER, SWAN AND RICH has Randy hooking up with Memphis songwriting legend Billy Swan and Alan Rich in the late ‘90s. The album features many of Rich, Sr.’s classic hits and recent Jerry Lee Lewis’ (Rich’s godfather) material. The album is Randy’s first collaboration, post-Eagles.

THE DRIVIN’ DYNAMICS showcases Meisner’s first group and proves why they were one of the top touring attractions in the Midwest. In 2001, The Dynamics celebrated their 40th anniversary and performed for thousands at a celebration in Oregon with all previous members on hand.

HELP THE POOR is the group Randy joined after leaving The Drivin’ Dynamics. The band left Colorado and headed to Hollywood in the mid-‘60s. This album draws from never released material recorded by the band. Decca, Loma and York Records released several singles by Help The Poor, but did not release an album by the group.

Sonic Past Music was formed as an outlet for Meisner and other popular and recognizable artists to commercially release albums that have been previously unavailable or were not released on any label. Sonic Past founder, Joey Stec explains, “In today’s fractured music industry we don’t have to be 19 and mainstream to put out our albums, it’s okay to cater to a niche market. These titles are by artists that made their mark primarily on the West Coast in the ‘70s and ‘80s. They are my friends, colleagues and family. Collectively we’ve spent decades together in the studio amassing hundreds of albums-worth of masters.”

All Sonic Past releases for the U.S. have been digitally re-mastered and include music and art not found elsewhere. Prior Japanese and European Sonic Past releases of some of these albums are available. Further information is available at www.sonicpastmusic.com.

What’s New?: I’ll tell you what’s new. Rick Springfield’s The Early Sound City Sessions has been released on November 20,2007 and is the hottest release of the year on Sonic Past Music! Check out the amazing 5-star insider review posted on Amazon.

This release is a rare glimpse into the anthology of Rick’s past, before mega stardom. Containing the previously unreleased original 1978 demo recordings from Sound City Studios in LA of songs that were later re-recorded for the Beautiful Feelings album, The Early Sound City Sessions also contains “Still Got The Magic,” a song that has never been released commercially until now!

We are now in the process of preparing to distribute Elvis Presley’s original Sun Sessions released in Europe in 1955; actually some of these tracks have never been heard here in the U.S.A. It is on Poppy Disc Records out of Scotland. This is historical Elvis Presley! I ask why did they send all the good masters to Europe in the 50’s? “I don’t know” this CD should have about 25 tracks on it and though many of these songs have been heard here. Over the years these tracks and different mixes were released here with the added bonus of about 5 tracks.

Speaking of Elvis Presley, Sheila Ryan Caan has just completed the first draft of her book Fame On Me, which is an intimate and truly honest revealing story of her days with the King. She was living at Graceland and traveling with the King.

Sonic Past Music has entered into a deal with Sony Records Japan on one CD from our Catalog to be released by Sony Japan February 20,2008. We are now discussing more additional releases for Japan. As the Japanese are the Ambassadors of music to China lets say we are hoping to introduce the Chinese to the best missed music of the 60s 70s and 80s that have been the hidden Treasures until now.

Next, we will bring you Jackdaw, the previously unreleased 90s rock supergroup featuring John McFee (Doobie Brothers, Clover) on lead vocals and guitar, the late, great Keith Knudsen (Doobie Brothers) on drums, and Stu Cook (Creedence Clearwater Revival) on bass. Some truly genre-breaking, virtuosic material, with catchy yet unpredictable songwriting from some of the best musicians in rock history.

We have been picking up some radio airplay on KEAO out of Maui, Hawaii and KFJB Radio, Iowa. Tune into those stations if you can, and stay tuned to SonicPastMusic.com via our mailing list, as we will be announcing the next discoveries of the treasured rock and roll that has been silent but not forgotten!
