Logan AllenHOST
So we're going to start with that here.
Logan AllenHOST
One of the biggest things around the time of the production of the Mayflower, David, was the switch from Arista to Concord Records, a big record label switch.
Logan AllenHOST
And something that we're interested to know since you were there for the Mayflower for the duration of the production period is When that switch happened, did anything change in production land or was everything pretty much business as usual, keep moving forward?
David BensonGUEST
Well, it happened in the middle of the creation of the Mayflower album.
David BensonGUEST
Mayflower was like a four-year project that I was involved in with Barry.
David BensonGUEST
It was a very piecemeal thing that happened kind of in between other things that were happening.
David BensonGUEST
So that's when Stiletto went out and got this deal with Concord, which we didn't have until...
David BensonGUEST
Wow.
Dave ShawHOST
James began producing his records with Brown in 1997, and assumed the role of the solo producer starting with his Grammy-nominated Pure album in 2003.
Dave ShawHOST
Following a string of chart-topping albums, in 2006 James moved to Concord Records and released Shine, which posted his highest Billboard pop chart position to that date, number 44 on the top 200.
Dave ShawHOST
His 2009 album, Send One Your Love, earned him a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional R&B Performance.
Dave ShawHOST
His 2013 album, The Beat, received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
Ana Cristina ReymundoGUEST
listening, Paul.
Ana Cristina ReymundoGUEST
Well, for her birthday in October, I did the liner notes for... a commemorative CD collection of her greatest hits, Concord Records.
Ana Cristina ReymundoGUEST
It's really beautiful.
Ana Cristina ReymundoGUEST
It's a CD set.
Casey AbramsGUEST
That's the hardest thing.
Casey AbramsGUEST
Especially after American Idol, I was lucky enough to work with Concord Records, which actually Paul McCartney was a part of for a little bit.
Casey AbramsGUEST
I love that record.
Casey AbramsGUEST
Yeah, he did some jazz stuff.
Maria VillarGUEST
That's our first project together.
Maria VillarGUEST
I was hired by Concord Records, and I did not know Gordon at all.
Maria VillarGUEST
We were introduced just through email and through subsequent email exchanges.
Maria VillarGUEST
Sure.
Daniel TelanderHOST
Cherry Red Records.
Daniel TelanderHOST
So is this then not part of the big, huge package deal that Genesis did with Concord Records, where they sold off their entire repertoire
Alex C. TelanderHOST
to Concord Records? No.
Alex C. TelanderHOST
Okay, so we're at, whatever how many minutes we're at, I do need to drop Tabletop Genesis, who just released the episode on this song.
Alex C. TelanderHOST
They were talking about it, and they specifically said, yeah, that From Genesis to Radiation is not part of that package, so it's a separate thing.
