Beskrivning

The birth of rock 'n' roll brought with it the formation of many small, independent record labels. These labels helped the fledgling music gain mainstream acceptance. One of the most prominent was Liberty Records.The interviews with artists, producers, engineers, arrangers, executives, and composers presented herein are fascinating: Jan and Dean, Bobby Vee, the Ventures, and many more. A complete discography of the label's releases (both 45s and LPs) as well as those of its Dolton and Imperial subsidiaries are provided.
