Peter LubinGUEST
Who else is going to sign this guy? He's been around the tracks so many times.
Peter LubinGUEST
I still don't hear a lot, you know? When suddenly, I don't know, somebody I know called me up and said, I don't know, man, I hear John Hyatt, I hear he's done a deal at A&M.
Peter LubinGUEST
I said, no, that's not possible.
Peter LubinGUEST
I hear that A&M offered him $25,000 more than you guys did.
Peter LubinGUEST
And that made a difference.
Peter LubinGUEST
No, that that's impossible.
Peter LubinGUEST
John, it's Pete, you know.
Peter LubinGUEST
John says, oh, hi, Pete.

Photograph and You're Sixteen.

In 1978, the Police released their debut album on A&M Records called Outlandish Demore.
speaker_0HOST
They released it in the UK on this date.
speaker_0HOST
It was the catalyst for the late 1970s New Wave movement.
Devin StoneHOST
Disney and Universal argued that Midjourney knew its platform was being used to create infringing content, yet took no meaningful steps to prevent it, and instead the company promoted its ability to generate such content and refused to adopt safeguards that could have limited the misuse of its tool.
Devin StoneHOST
And a similar liability issue came up in A&M Records versus Napster, where the Ninth Circuit ruled that Napster was liable for both contributory and vicarious copyright infringement.
Devin StoneHOST
The court held Napster liable for contributory infringement because the company knew or should have known that its users were engaging in copyright infringement by sharing music files without authorization.
Devin StoneHOST
Napster itself didn't share copyrighted music files itself, but Napster materially contributed to that infringement by providing the software and infrastructure that enabled users to find and download copyrighted songs themselves.
JohnHOST
Wow.
JohnHOST
Who would do that? A&M Records and Split Ends, I guess.
JohnHOST
Here's the other thing that was cool.
JohnHOST
This was gimmicky.
GaryHOST
I'm kind of a sucker for that.
GaryHOST
Anyways, and they moved like after the after the fourth album of Man of Miracles, they moved to A&M Records and they got a little bit more promotion.
GaryHOST
And maybe that's why their albums also sucked.
GaryHOST
But the point I was going to make is that they made this album, The Serpent is Rising, and Lady still wasn't a hit.
JuppHOST
Albert, which I've heard on air a few times.
JuppHOST
A&M Records, legendary performer
ArpitaGUEST
and record man.
ArpitaGUEST
You cannot separate the man and the music.
ChrisHOST
He collapses on stage in 1974.
ChrisHOST
He amasses an $800,000 debt to A&M Records.
ChrisHOST
By the time the late 70s roll around, he relocates to California, meets his future wife Pam Baker, and slowly begins to stabilise his life.
ChrisHOST
In early 1982, he sings with the Crusaders and records Sheffield Steel, but commercially speaking, he is still widely considered a high-risk relic of the now seemingly long-past counterculture era.
Matt DorbinGUEST
So we're going to do the very first single from this album called Meditation.
Matt DorbinGUEST
So this was the first single from the album, which was released on A&M Records.
Matt DorbinGUEST
It reached number 98 on the US Hot 100 chart.
Matt DorbinGUEST
It was previously performed by, and I'm going to mangle this name, so all of you don't yell at me online on the internet, but you can also help me here in the studio, Antonio Carlos.
Matt DorbinGUEST
Listening to this whole album again, so technically Claudine is in the whole realm of French pop from the 60s, which she is, also having been originally from France.
Matt DorbinGUEST
But as we'll get to, her recording career didn't really start until she was in America.
Matt DorbinGUEST
And also her ballpark direction from A&M Records, so she was signed.
Matt DorbinGUEST
I wonder if she maybe gravitated or sounded a bit more incorporating like the bossa nova and jazz sound as opposed to more traditional French pop of like, you know, Francois Hardy or Serge Gainsbourg, any of those folks, which a little bit different, a little more funky and raw.
Jimmy JamGUEST
Leon Silvers III would be one of them.
Jimmy JamGUEST
John McClain would be another one who was the A&R person at A&M Records and connected us with Janet.
Jimmy JamGUEST
But these people were so instrumental in our lives and Clarence Avon.
Jimmy JamGUEST
So Clarence Avon said, produce some songs on SOS band.
23 MINS LATER
Billy CorganHOST
So if you could just indulge me, talk about Janet, the musician.
Jimmy JamGUEST
Well, the thing with Janet for us was, and I'll mention the name John McClain one more time.
Jimmy JamGUEST
We were supposed to work with another artist on A&M who didn't want to work with us for whatever reason.
Jimmy JamGUEST
And so he said, man, he said, I'm really sorry.
