		To this list could be added many more imitations: the Medallion series from Kapp; Directional Sound, which repackaged and altered recordings by Francis Bay and members of his band; Liberty's Premier series; and United Artist's Wall-to-Wall stereo albums, to name a few.
		The studio musicians playing on many of these recordings were awesomely proficient, the arrangers innovative and irreverent, and the results can still astonish nearly 40 years later.
		Jet Set Pop was heavily influenced by--and in someways an adaptation of--bossa nova, while the Now Sound embraced the instrumentation, rhythm, and, it hoped, the audience of rock and roll.

	A BRIEF HISTORY OF POP AND ROCK MUSIC IN THE 1960'S
		Pop music gradually became controlled by new young "vocal"-groups, taking their power from a combination of the performer's charisma along with the songwriting talents of the production team, who operated behind the scenes.
		Later in the decade, after the British groups acknowledged their debt to soul music, and as the civil rights movement inspired fl pride, the general American public rediscovered these performers.
		Their sound and attitudes influenced everything that came afterwards--even today, when kids sing along with pop tunes on the radio and sing soft Britty "r's", they're unconsciously mimicking the English sound.

	Freeway Jam
		Power Pop was an energetic, melodic, uptempo form of rock that enjoyed its biggest heyday in the wake of the punk/new wave era.
		Power Pop first surfaced in the early 70's and its invention is generally credited to a trio of bands that were fairly underappreciated in their own time: Badfinger (from Wales), Big Star (Memphis), and the Raspberries (Mentor, OH).
		A great list, bro, the most recent successful practicioner of the sound that coulda made it on the top twenty list, anyway, would be Matthew Sweet, who, as with all power pop artists, ultimately has released a bunch of pop songs that aren't, you know, popular!

		The combination was one of those magic instances of musical alchemy in pop: the backup musicians provided a much grittier, soulful, and R&B-based accompaniment for Aretha's voice, which soared with a passion and intensity suggesting a spirit that had been allowed to fly loose for the first time.
		Her Atlantic contract ended at the end of the 1970s, and since then she's managed to get intermittent hits -- "Who's Zooming Who" and "Jump to It" are among the most famous -- without remaining anything like the superstar she was at her peak.
		She always loved to sing straight pop songs, even if her early Atlantic records gave one the impression that her true home was earthy soul music.

	Arranger/Stylists of Light Music
		He admitted years later to interviewers that in the 1950s he was not happy with the simplistic pop song formulas of the day, and related more to the approach of writing a record album as a kind of miniature tone poem, with each track being a section of the tone poem.
		In the 1970s, he recorded his final exotica album with the "101 Strings" orchestra, called "Que Mango", advertised as "music for the Jet-set" who "fly to the spas and discotheques around the world".
		It is an odd coincidence of music history that The Beatles, who were to usher in a new singer/songwriter age supplanted the trained musicians who created the light orchestral style, happened to record their hits in the selfsame studio where the older style of music was also recorded in England.

		Jonathan King is the sort of figure who is unique to British pop music of the 1960s and 1970s.

		King returned to Decca Records in the 1970s, but was unable to reverse the company's gradual decline, which resulted in its sale at the very end of the decade to Polygram Records.

		There are a couple of smooth, upbeat pop songs with hummable refrains ("Restless Highway"; title track); the ballad "Sweet Surrender" is syrupy but beautiful; "Died For Love" is an elaborately arranged, cleverly tension-building effort; and the chilling character sketch "Pavanne" is one of their best tunes.
		Ironically, an early version of the album with the same track listing was recorded in 1980 with Gerry Rafferty producing, but a half-dozen labels turned it down.

		From that point on, everything became multitrack, isolated, mono-point recordings of individual instruments and voices that could be fiddled with and fiddled with until all the life went out of the recordings, and while it wasn't necessarily IM-possible to make a pop masterpiece from the seventies onwards, it certainly became a wholly different process.
