Win the new 4-CD set and DVD of this amazing documentary
Discover your favorite songs for the first time! For our newest contest we’re offering some of the most timeless music ever made; hits that were recorded by a mostly anonymous yet amazing crew of studio musicians.
The Wrecking Crew is the name given to the group of roughly 40 Los Angeles studio musicians: the drummers, guitarists, bassists, keyboard players and other instrumentalists who performed on literally hundreds of pop and rock music’s biggest hits.
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass? The Wrecking Crew. Mamas and the Papas? The Wrecking Crew. Sonny and Cher? The Beach Boys? Yup, you get the picture… the musicians were The Wrecking Crew.
We’re partnering with the documentary’s producer-director Denny Tedesco to give one Best Classic Bands reader a 4-CD, 74-song box set (coming September 4 via Rock Beat Records) including such original hits as Sam Cooke’s “Another Saturday Night,” The 5th Dimension’s “Up, Up and Away,” The Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man,” Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman” and other favorites from Harry Nilsson, The Monkees, The Association, The Grass Roots and more.
Our winner also receives the DVD of the movie (from Magnolia Home Entertainment), which earned a 93 percent positive rating on RottenTomatoes.com when it was released earlier this year. The documentary features interviews with dozens of superstars (many of whom have since died while Tedesco worked on the project for over a decade) plus members of The Wrecking Crew.
Earlier this year, our Best Classic Bands reviewer noted: “The movie shows how Brian Wilson cast aside his own bandmates for the Crew’s superior musical abilities. The truth is obvious: only the most brilliant musicians could get into Brian’s head, wrestle with that unique brain and come out with ‘Good Vibrations.”
