Come To The Sunshine #77 - Dunhill Records 1965-1968

andrew sandoval — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:25:51 GMT

"Not Just A Company That Makes Records...But A Record Company. When You Think About This...There's Quite A Difference." The Dunhill label was launched with this slogan in May 1965 by Jay Lasker, Lou Adler, Bobby Roberts and Pierre Cossette. The imprint bowed with a single by Adler's wife of the time, Shelley Fabares, "My Prayer" and would continue into the 1970's making wonderful waxings, as well as fostering such talents as Barry McGuire, The Mama's And The Papa's, Grass Roots, P.F. Sloan and so many others. Dunhill was a truly Californian creation at the epicenter of the Los Angeles music scene; a unique independent with lasting impact. Dunhill also happens to be a personal favorite of "Come To The Sunshine" host, Andrew Sandoval, who has sorted through hundreds of Dunhill singles to present you with a dream show of fabulous 45's by: Shelley Fabares/Willie And The Wheels/The Ginger-Snaps featuring Dandee Dawson/The Iguanas/Terry Black/P.F. Sloan/Barry McGuire/The Grass Roots/The Mama's And The Papa's/Modern Folk Quintet/The Thomas Group/The Hep Stars/The Woolies/Emergency Exit/The Inrhodes/The Lamp Of Childhood/The Imaginations/The Dawnbreakers/ The Storybook People/Dick Clark/The King Brothers/3's A Crowd/Karen Karsh/Marilyn McGinnis & The Magic Circle/Goldrush www.cometothesunshine.com

Come To The Sunshine #42 - The Everly Brothers

andrew sandoval — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:17:59 GMT

First broadcast on July 14th, 2008 "Come To The Sunshine" #42 pays tribute to the fabulous Everly Brothers! In part one of the show, host Andrew Sandoval brings you selected Don & Phil recordings from 1963 - 1969 showing their incredible artistic growth and fabulous forays into folk rock, psychedelia and much more. Since most of the CDs now available are stereo, we have gone back to the original MONO discs to present some rarities that not even the most diehard Everlys buffs have heard in years. Part two of our show features more than an hour of live and unissued concert recordings of the duo in their prime from 1963 - 1971. July 14th marks the 35th anniversary of Don & Phil fractious final performance at Anaheim California's Knott's Berry Farm. The preceding ten years had been tough ones for the duo. Having opened the '60s with a bang - a million dollar recording deal with Warner Bros. and a #1 single called "Cathy's Clown" - everything seemed to go wrong. They fell out with their manager/publisher Wesley Rose and were forced to record albums of show tunes and standards (so as not to use any of their fine originals, which he published). A mandatory stint in the Marine reserves sidelined their floundering musical fortunes. Drug addiction, suicide attempts, marriage and shock treatment (no joke) only added to their mounting woes. But what about their music? In 1963 the brothers had a creative rebirth and from that point on made pioneering discs of folk rock, psychedelia and country. NO ONE LISTENED. 10 years on when Phil Everly smashed his guitar on the stage of Anaheim's second biggest amusement park (ending the Everlys until their '80s reunion) few could dispute his anger and disappointment. Still, few listened. We now all have all the time in the world to hear their glorious harmonies and studio experiments. Be my guest as I spin more than an hour of my studio favorites, followed by a full hour of live and unissued concert recordings Foreverly yours, www.cometothesunshine.com
