 The Wrecking Crew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arguably the most successful "group" of studio musicians in music history, the "Wrecking Crew" was a collection of world-class session musicians, who typically had backgrounds in jazz or classical music.
The Wrecking Crew is the name of a 1969 motion picture, the fourth film adventure of secret agent Matt Helm and also the name of a 1999 motion picture starring Ice-T and Snoop Dogg.
The figures most often associated with the Wrecking Crew are producer Phil Spector, who used the Crew to create his trademark "Wall of Sound", and Beach Boy leader Brian Wilson, who utilized the Crew's talents on many of his mid-Sixties productions including "California Girls", the watershed album "Pet Sounds", and "Good Vibrations".

He published his memoirs, Hal Blaine and the Wrecking Crew, in 1990.
Blaine appeared on innumerable Beach Boys hits, ranging from "Surfer Girl" to "Good Vibrations." He also drummed on countless recordings by the cream of West Coast pop musicians, including Jan and Dean, the Mamas and the Papas, the Byrds, Johnny Rivers, the Association, Sonny and Cher, the Grass Roots, and Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
He was the most in-demand session drummer in Los Angeles during the Sixties and early Seventies, and a list of musicians he played with reads like a who's who of popular music.

The section on Motown, for example, cuts through all the usual mythology about everything being recorded in Detroit, and provides quote after quote from actual participants explaining how Los Angeles session musicians (Carol Kaye, Earl Palmer, Hal Blaine, etc.) played on many of the biggest mid-'60s Motown hits.
Now, I find it impossible to listen to music from the sixties and early seventies without saying to myself "Aha -- that's a Hal Blaine track".
The book did much to reveal at least a bit of that magic: a great sense of humour, a love for the craft, and an abiding respect for the musicians he played with.

Noted as the first group blessed with Dr. Dre's production expertise, the World Class Wreckin' Cru recorded some solid West Coast electro singles, more energetic than the style's other prime production act (Egyptian Lover), if not as revolutionary.
Turn off the Lights: Greatest Hits Plus has all of the best World Class Wreckin' Cru tracks, but there's still plenty of samey filler.

 Damon Tedesco Scoring Mixer Press
They reproduce music in a variety of realms--independent documentary film production, remote 'live' recording, commercial film scoring, CD promotion, DJ'ing parties-- a new generation of chameleons as versatile as their late father and his associates, the elite studio musicians of the 60's known as the Wrecking Crew.
These are discs of original music written and performed by LA-area jazz musicians, later compiled by Damon and Denny Tedesco and sold (under their business name, CD Promo) to a growing list of companies that use the discs as a marketing tool.
Recently, between projects for Fox, Damon Tedesco was found working at a broad, state-of-the-art mixing board under that portrait of his late father, wearing another of his several hats -- as head of Mobile Disc & DAT -- turning recorded musical phrases into computer language and monitor images, and back to music again.

 WorldNetDaily: The funky Western Civilization
That's of course who Tonio K. really is. One music critic described him as "a one-man, rock-and-roll wrecking crew." Another, writing for Stereo Review claimed he was "twice as angry as Elvis Costello, and six times as funny."
After making the rounds, record label to record label, and becoming the victim of the music industry's version of corporate downsizing (one of his albums got canned because his previous one didn't sell enough "units"), Tonio K. reclused almost exclusively to songwriting.
I first ran across Tonio K.'s music when I was sorting through a pile of LPs and CDs at a rummage sale around 1992.

Hal was a member of the Wrecking Crew as they were called in L.A. It did not refer to a band, but a group of studio musicians that were supposed to be wrecking music as we knew it in the late 1950's.
He plays the congas on "Annie's Song", the drums on "Calypso" and is the backup singer on "Thank God, I'm A Country Boy." Hal Blaine is one of the greatest drummers of all time not only for his work with John Denver, but with hundreds of other artists.
At one point in Hal's life he was so busy that he had 8 matching drum kits in his inventory to make sure that he always had a drum kit ready for his next job.

 Good Vibrations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilson is credited with developing the use of the recording studio as an instrument: he, the Beach Boys, and dozens of top studio musicians, including members of The Wrecking Crew, recorded and rerecorded seemingly unrelated musical and vocal sections for the song, then edited and mixed these sections into a 3:35 pop single.
The recording and production style used on the "Good Vibrations" single established Wilson's new method of operation: the recording and re-recording of specific sections of music, followed by rough mixes of the sections edited together, further recording as required, and the construction of the final mix from the component elements.
Beach Boys leader, composer, and producer Brian Wilson described "Good Vibrations" as a "pocket symphony," and the composition is indeed symphonic in structure, with multiple movements and layered instrumentation.
