    MCA 700 Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan MCA-700 Midline/Reissue Series: By the time the reissue series reached MCA-700, most of the ABC reissues had been accomplished in the MCA 500-600s. MCA decided that when full price albums were converted to midline prices, the albums needed a new number altogether rather than just making the administrative change. In this series, we get reissues of many MCA albums that were only one to three years old, as well as a lot of Decca reissues. Rather than pay the price for new covers and labels, most of these were just stamped with the new numbers in gold ink on the front covers, with the same jackets and labels with the old catalog numbers.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

  • Cover Art Celebration of Israel a MESSAGE from the MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER
    Cover Art Celebration of Israel A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews fi rst arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. While much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifi cally Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, I founded the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music in 1990. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles and recording producers over the past fourteen years has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain and inspire people of all faiths and cultures. The Milken Archive of American Jewish Music is a living project; one that we hope will cultivate and nourish musicians and enthusiasts of this richly varied musical repertoire. Lowell Milken A MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR The quality, quantity, and amazing diversity of sacred as well as secular music written for or inspired by Jewish life in America is one of the least acknowledged achievements of modern Western culture.

  • For SCL's SCORE a First Class Stamp of Approval by Michael Isaacson
    For SCL’s SCORE A First Class Stamp of Approval By Michael Isaacson This past April, the larger music world and particularly film music was ennobled by the issuance of a first class U.S. stamp honoring composer/ arranger/ conductor Henry Mancini. This wonderful occasion pays tribute to both a gentleman and a gentle man who quietly and elegantly advanced our art and presented it in a most scintillating, user-friendly way to the world. I’m sure many of you join me in recalling the exhilaration of first opening Mancini’s SOUNDS and SCORES in 1962 self published by Northridge Music and learning his unique approach to recording orchestration by listening to the accompanying bundled records (the whole package sold for only $15) – what an innovation it was to study and simultaneously hear the film cues and learn what a bass flute sounded like; for this alone, Hank merited his American stamp. Like most innovators he grew out of an enlightened, extended tradition. Mancini was influenced both by Victor Young and Tex Benecke. He often recounted how he used to run to a piano as soon as the band bus came to a venue, to confirm the sonorities that he had in his head while working on the ubiquitous arrangements for the band. At the conclusion of an era when Alex North and Leonard Rosenman were creating more and more tension with denser textures, somehow Mancini figured out how to sustain tautness with soloistic transparency. He brought us into the musical sixties; for this too, Hank affixed his stamp on our musical sensibilities.
