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.

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 Jackdawg, 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!
