The Sound City Sessions- 1975

John Mcfee of the Doobie Brothers, Huey Lewis and Sean

Hopper of The News, Jeff Porcaro of Toto, Alex Call

(songwriter for Pat Benatar and Tommy Tutone among many

others), and John Ciambotti - all amazing talents in their

own rights - before they were famous - together on this

masterpiece. This CD was originally recorded in 1975 at

Sound City studios in LA; never before released until now.
Sonic Past Music has unearthed long-lost recordings by the

group Clover. On this set of recordings, you will also hear a

young, pre-Toto Jeff Porcaro playing drums on several tracks.

Additionally, the group features Alex Call, who has written

songs recorded by Pat Benatar, Huey, and others, including

the Tommy Tutone hit "Jenny/867-5309."

The recordings represented here were recorded at the

famous Sound City Studios back in the early to mid seventies,

with a number of the tracks produced by Keith Olsen - right

around the time he produced Fleetwood Mac's huge self-titled

breakout album - (the one with "Rhiannon", "Over My Head",

"Say You Love Me", and so forth.)

Subsequent to these recordings, Clover went on to release two

albums of their own that they recorded in Britain with producer

Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Also in England, they were Elvis

Costello's band for his legendary debut album, My Aim Is True.

An amazing band that needs to be heard!
